Pssst. I’ve got some secret tips to share with you.  
 
Time and time again I’ve proudly helped my clients get awesome deals on the homes they
buy. That’s because I know what to look for in an MLS listing to keep my client ahead of the
game.
 
So {first_name}, if you’re looking for a deal, make sure to keep an eye out
for:
 
  • Repeated price decreases
     
This is a telltale sign of a Seller who is listening to the market and is motivated to
sell.
 
  • Vacant homes
Homes are typically vacant for only a few reasons. Either the owners have
already moved out, the previous tenants have left, or the property has been
flipped. In any case, Sellers may be more willing to come down on price to save
themselves the monthly costs of owning a vacant home.
 
  • High Days on Market (DOM)
The definition of ‘high’ depends on the type of property and area, but you can
safely assume that anything sitting on the market for more than 30 days has lost
the interest of other Buyers. Now a high DOM may be a sign of a stubborn Seller,
but it could also be a golden opportunity to buy at a discounted price.
 
  • Sellers nearing the end of their listing period
     
These Sellers are tired of failed showings, the upkeep of having their home ‘show
ready’, and negotiations that have turned unsuccessful. They just want to have
the sale of their home over and done with. You’d be surprised to know how many
homes sell on day 90 of a 90-day contract.
 
  • Properties listed by out-of-town agents
It’s easy. If you’re not from here then you simply can’t know the ins and outs and
common practices of our market. That naive Seller who is using their brother’s
best friend’s mom might think they’re doing themselves a favor,
but they could be losing out on tens of thousands of dollars. That’s an
opportunity for you!
 
*High-5* if you can spot any of these signs in your listings. Don’t forget to give me a shout
if you see one that you like.
