Episode notes
Current Market Conditions
- The 2023-2024 real estate market downturn was worse than 2008 in terms of transaction volume, but prices haven't crashed as significantly.
- Experienced investors are capitalizing on this by securing good deals due to reduced buyer competition.
Negotiating in a Down Market
- Don't focus solely on asking prices; determine your target price and make offers accordingly.
- Be persistent, as sellers in vacation markets are often motivated and may eventually accept lower offers.
Advice for Real Estate Agents
- Advise real estate agents not to inflate listing prices to secure listings, as this often leads to longer listing times and lost deals.
- Prioritize being the second listing agent after the overpriced listing expires, as sellers are more realistic then.
