You are trying to compare oranges and potatoes, this is not appropriate here.

@Ryan DunnYou are comparing apples and oranges.

It will get tougher as we roll into 2025 to land a good deal in a market with lower rates and triple the buyers.I do agree though apples and oranges from a typical angle if had only been .25% and if the 10 Year was still above 4.25% but it allows for MBS to open margins on primary homes, FHA/Ginne Mae yield are highest of 2024.

Otherwise you will end up with a huge orange sign on your front door with a stop work order. 

Not only is the demands of each buyer going to vary by market and submarket, but also asset by asset.My favorite example of this was an old season of Flip or Flip, where they bought a house in LA county, versus their standard stomping grounds of Orange County.  

Unfortunately, this isn't always an easy relationship.What if you, as a buyer, like a home but despise its wood-paneled walls, shag carpet and lurid orange kitchen?

Of course it’s up from 2018/2019, but that’s apples and oranges from what I’m talking about.

I personally wrote up offers on behalf of my clients with $150K over-asking price in Orange County, Ca.  

I  used a brokerage out Orange County by the name of Allure Capital the head broker is KC James.

It's apples, oranges, and bananas.
