But for now at least, those heady days are gone. Replaced by a market that may well favor Gilbert home buyers. Since there are likely more houses on the market than buyers looking to buy. So rather than bright eyed eager shopper, check book in hand, you've got different class of folks you'll be dealing with as you try to sell your real estate. One class of buyer looking at Gilbert Arizona homes for sale right now is the nitpicker. The tip off is they seem to negotiate non stop. Looking for concessions in the contract, the price and at seemingly every detail of your house. Unless you're prepared for endless haggling, even at the closing table, you'd be wise to let this buyer type focus their attention on another Gilbert home seller. |
A related buyer type is the couple that comes "good cop bad cop" ready. One will praise your house and the price. The other will have nothing good to say about either. The idea is for the one playing "bad cop" to beat you down to a lower price. Expect to come across this dynamic duo anytime slim pickings prevails when it comes to Gilbert home buyers.
But you'll want to praise your lucky stars when a reasonable buyer happens upon your Gilbert Arizona home for sale whenever there are too many houses on the market. That's because this person is willing to offer you a decent price for your property. The tip off is their starting offer is only 5-10% below your asking price. (Much higher than the first two buyer types.) Given the market, don't let this one slip away. In a buyers market they are few and far between and well worth holding onto.
