Frustrated?

There are a record number of buyers looking for homes on Cape Cod, yet sellers are leaving money on the table.

While there are certainly instances of homes being sold for sometimes head scratching amounts, the Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors reports that nearly 1 in 2 listings are actually going for BELOW asking price.

So what’s going on? Mari answers the question in her latest YouTube video.

We also have anecdotal evidence that even homeowners selling property on their own are not taking the time to get the best price possible.

Too often we’ve heard from a For Sale by Owner — who promised a showing or said to call back in a day or so — that they accepted an offer when we contacted them again as instructed. We suspect that because they don’t fully understanding how the real estate market is working now — for example, waiving home inspections is not unusual — these individual sellers accept what appears to be the first “good” offer they receive.

But, they’ll never know what our buyer — or potentially others — might have been willing to pay for the property.

There are many reasons why people are looking to move including new freedom made possible by work from home options; room for fitness and family activities, and a desire to spend more time outside.

Cape Cod checks all the boxes, so homeowners should not be selling themselves short by limiting the exposure their property receives.

Don’t wish for it; go for it!
