In our last episode, Bill and Betty Buyer were sitting down with their trusty Agent, Realtor Ron, to draft an offer on their dream home. They had spent the past 3 weekends touring dozens of potential properties, when they finally found just the perfect place!

When it came time to discuss the offer price, Bill proudly asserted, “We’re going to offer them $50K below the Listing price, and ask them to pay closing costs too!”

Pulling his jaw off the floor, Realtor Ron looked down on the MLS data-sheet for the subject property.

“Their home has only been on the market for less than two weeks,” Realtor Ron stated.

Pulling up statistics for several comparable properties in the same neighborhood that had sold in the past month, Realtor Ron showed the Buyers how the property was actually priced very aggressively, below many of the most recent sales. In addition, a quick check on the County Website revealed that the home was priced just below the property tax assessed valuation as well.

“But it’s a ‘Buyer’s Market,” responded Betty Buyer, “Aren’t all Sellers desperate?”

Will Realtor Ron write up the low offer? Or Will Bill and Betty Buyer realize the err of their ways? To discover the outcome to this dilemma, tune in to SOUNDBITEBLOG.

One of the hot developments in Poulsbo WA has been Quadrant Home's Stendahl Ridge.

I was honored to sell the very first home in this neighborhood. They've sold nearly twenty homes already this year which is truly amazing for new construction! They have prices starting at $235,900 up to $342,900, with square footage floorplans from 1555 sq. ft. to 4000 sq. ft. Quadrant is a pre-sale builder only, but they do have a couple of homes already built in Stendahl Ridge that are ready for immediate sale/occupation due to the previous buyers backing out because of financing issues. There are only about 17 lots left and which should be easily sold out by summer. For more information, go to Quadrant Homes/Stendahl Ridge. If you visit the development, ask for my good friend, Dan Spurlock, the Community Sales Manager, and tell him I sent you!
