🏡 Okay, St. Louis real estate… pick a personality. 😂
Buyers are seeing more choices, more price reductions, and more opportunities to negotiate.
Sounds like a buyer’s market, right?
Welllll… not so fast. 👀
Because over in St. Charles County, well-positioned detached homes recently averaged about 100.8% of asking price. 🔥
Basically, two homes five minutes apart can require two completely different strategies.
One has been sitting for a while? We may be talking price, repairs, closing costs or a rate buydown.
The right house hits the market at the right price? Grab your shoes—we may need to MOVE. 😂🏃♀️
And sellers, buyers have options now. The “let’s price it high and see what happens” strategy is getting a whole lot riskier.
That’s why I keep saying this isn’t necessarily a good market or a bad market…
It’s a STRATEGY market. 🏡❤️
And those are my favorite kind.
👇 If you were buying right now, what would YOU rather negotiate—lower purchase price or money toward your closing costs/rate?
