I was called by a new customer the other day. He had found my name on Google, and was excited to begin his home search...
He was preapproved, highly motivated, and wanted to look at homes as soon as possible.
After asking for specifics on the type of home he was looking for, I asked him "Would you like to see short sale listings as well?"
"Can you tell me why and why not?" he answered.
"No problem," I said.
"Why?" buy a Naperville Short Sale?
Price. Bottom line, you can get more home for the money when looking at short sales. In order to entice buyers for a short sale listing, the homes generally will be priced about 10% below the rest of the market.
With median home prices in Naperville around $370,000, that $37,000 difference offers plenty of incentive for the proper buyer.
"Why not?" buy a Naperville Short Sale
So, if you are looking for a home with a little hidden equity, and if you aren't on a tight moving schedule, then a Naperville short sale purchase might be for you....
