Today’s homebuyers want lower prices — Sellers disagree

April 16, 2020

Today’s Homebuyers Want Lower Prices. Sellers Disagree

The uncertainty the world faces today due to the COVID-19 pandemic is causing so many things to change. The way we interact, the way we do business, even the way we buy and sell real estate is changing.

This is a moment in time that’s even sparking some buyers to search for a better deal on a home. Sellers, however, aren’t offering a discount these days; they’re holding steady on price.

According to the most recent NAR Flash Survey (a survey of real estate agents from across the country), agents were asked the following two questions:

1. “Have any of your sellers recently reduced their price to attract buyers?”

Their answer: 72 percent said their sellers have not lowered prices to attract buyers during this health crisis.

2. “Are home buyers expecting lower prices now?”

Today’s Homebuyers Want Lower Prices. Sellers DisagreeTheir answer: 63 percent of agents said their buyers were looking for a price reduction of at least 5 percent.

What We Do Know

In today’s market, with everything changing and ongoing questions around when the economy will bounce back, it’s interesting to note that some buyers see this time as an opportunity to win big in the housing market.

On the other hand, sellers are much more confident that they will not need to reduce their prices in order to sell their homes. Clearly, there are two different perspectives at play.

Bottom Line: If you’re a buyer in today’s market, you might not see many sellers lowering their prices. If you’re a seller and don’t want to lower your price, you’re not alone. If you have questions on how to price your home, let’s connect today to discuss your real estate needs and next steps.

TESTIMONIALS

"Russ was so professional and knowledgeable. He helped us every step of the way. He’s still there for us when we have questions. I would highly recommend Russ to anyone looking to purchase a home in Green Valley."
- T.M., Green Valley AZ
"Russ Fortuno not only made our Green Valley AZ home purchase happen, he made it easy. We live in Eastern Washington and wanted to buy a vacation home in Green Valley but were apprehensive about buying a property without physically seeing it. Russ made the process easy. He supplied us with walk-through videos of every property we showed interest in, paying special attention to any issues the property might have. By the time we actually saw the property we were purchasing, we felt like we had been there a number of times. Russ walked us through the buying process from beginning to end! We highly recommend Russ and will use him for all or our real estate needs."
- D.W., Chattaroy, WA
"Russ is a superstar Green Valley Realtor. We live in California and bought a house in Green Valley in August 2017. We could not have done it without Russ’ up-to-the minute access to listings and we felt comfortable buying on short notice thanks to his local expertise. Plus he was friendly, accessible, and just nice to work with. I highly recommend him for anyone buying in Green Valley."
- C.M., Green Valley AZ
