Annapolis Home Buyers Are Taking Their Time. Or So We Hear. Some Feedback on our Feedback

It Doesn't Take a Genius to Read Between the Lines of the Buyer Feedback We've Been Getting Lately

If you've sold a home recently, you know all about Feedback.

Feedback is the stuff buyers and their agents have to say about your property after a showing - the good, the bad, the indifferent.

Agents being busy - and this being the electronic age - feedback flies back and forth between agents in e-mail snippets. We're lucky if we get a complete sentence from a showing agent. A paragraph is the equivalent of a novel.

Feedback can be useful - if ten would-be buyers complain about pet odors, you know you better do something about it.

It's also a barometer of the market at any given moment in time, and a clear reflection of buyer behavior. Here - with very little exaggeration - is a sampling of feedback we've gotten recently.

• • Showed buyer 18 condos this weekend. They've decided to buy a farmhouse with 10 acres on the Eastern Shore.
  • They loved the house - it made their Top 15 list.
  • Clients have decided to write an offer on the home if it is still available when they get back from Hawaii this summer.
  • Clients loved the home. They thought it was spacious, bright, had good flow, a nice yard, killer kitchen and master. Met all of their criteria. They want to keep looking.
