The way the real estate market has been over the past few years, sellers could pretty much call all of the shots. From pricing too high,
to really limiting the showings……buyers would still flock to put in an offer. At the moment things have shifted and it’s imperative for sellers to make it as easy to show as possible….and important for listing agents to stress that point. We’ve seen a number of homes sit on the market for quite a while in the recent months with others reducing their prices and some eventually pullled off of the market and one common theme seems to be that they are not easy to go and see.
Whether it’s requiring buyers to provide a preapproval letter or proof of funds to gain access, or requiring 24 hour notice, sellers needing the listing agents to be present, or no open houses….it just dramatically limits the number of buyers seeing the home and potentially having interest.
In the market of 6 months ago sellers could get away with this, but that no longer seems to be the case. Sellers need to understand that limiting the traffic through a home on the market may likely lead to very few people seeing it.
I’ve worked with many a seller that think open houses are only for “lookie loos” and every prospective showing needs proof that they are viable…..that’s all fine and good but the bottom line is that the easier it is to show the more likely it is to sell.
our knowledge this would be the highest priced townhome ever in Three Sixty by quite a bit. We’ll have to wait an see if the market will support a number in this range but the highest price we’ve ever seen for an on market sale was $1,200,000 for the same layout about a year ago. Only the freestanding Terrace homes have generally sold at a number like this. It will be great news for owners and sellers if they get anything close to this.
abundance.
2 years to see more than 1 or 2 homes for sale at a time….and they generally sell very quickly. Of the 6 homes currently on the market 5 are single level condos in the buildings known as The Flats while the other is a 3 level townhome in the Courts. All of the condos are 2 bedroom units that vary in layout and size and the townhome is a 3 bedroom 3 1/2 bath. Take a look below and click on the photos or addresses for more information. 
market. This latest singl level condo is a residence 2 floorplan in the Flats located at 13028 Central Avenue # 201 priced at $1,025,000.** 6 months ago we would have said the list price of $1,025,000 was unheard of for a 2nd floor unit but given the abundance of recent record breaking sales this may now be very appropriately priced and likely to sell quickly.
