Was looking at sold history of some stock on Zillow in sub 300K region and surprisingly the prices have actually reduced since 2023 while peaking in 2022.

I can't remember how many times I was "cooled off" and I was honestly surprised when they asked me to be a Mod.

We rent single family homes, so we have a conversation about yard maintenance, snow removal etc - have you don't this before, do you have the tools etcI also bring up house cleaning questions, by telling them we had a tenant who did not own a vacuum cleaner, did not know how to run a dishwasher, had a mess in the basement etc - and then see how they respond.That is a non-offensive way to talk about house cleaning and you'd be surprised how different the responses are.

@Josh Terranova screen S8 tenants like any other tenant, but ALSO do a surprise visit to their current home as how it looks is how yours will look after they move in.

Many buyers want to do a Final Walk-thru the day of or day before closing to make sure there are no surprises since their inspection.4) Seller wants to only pay 2% commission, you will need to compensate your agent if they want more or your Buyer's Contract requires more.

What a surprise.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Those are keeping some folks afloat still.Not sure how much longer they can kick that can down the road, but I continue to be surprised lol.

It's convenient because they live on-site.
