With summer winding down, you should know that it’s still crazy insane in the Los Angeles Eastside real estate market. Seriously, where’s the slowdown? It’s been 5 months since the market began picking up and it hasn’t slowed since. So what does this mean for buyers and sellers? Here are 5 piping hot tips fresh from the trenches:
Buyers
– You need a general who knows what the heck they’re doing
– Leverage what you have. I have a client offering a 10k credit to his furniture store
– Assume you won’t get a counter – if you love a house, go all in
– Inventory for a well priced and attractive home is really low
– Be patient and don’t get dismayed
Sellers
– Congrats, you’re in demand, but still need to be smart about marketing your home
– Don’t be greedy, price it accurately and see buyers come in droves
– Do those small repairs, buyers will notice and reward your thoroughness
– Landscaping matters. Sod, a few seeds and water pay huge dividends
– Want to sell within 7 days? Let me know
