The perceived situation with real estate versus the reality of real estate in today’s market can be polar opposites! Sellers may feel that this is not a good time to try to list and sell their properties. Buyers may feel that they can low ball and get “the deal of a lifetime.” My direct experience over the past few months tells me that anything and everything is possible! There are plenty of buyers looking for wonderful land and homes along the Hamakua Coast. A property that I felt may take three to six months or more to sell, surprised me and went into escrow in under two weeks! A property I felt would fly off the shelf in days still sits on the market. Buyers are offering full price due to perceived value and the understanding that it may not be available tomorrow! And cash is still king!
So, take a look at the numbers, both for the Hamakua Coast and island wide. Then, you decide…if the time has come to list and sell, go for it! Just don’t expect to overprice the property. If you’re looking to purchase a home for full time living or as an investment, go for it! You will be pleasantly surprised with your options.
And, if you need a 24/7, award-winning Realtor® to represent your best interests, think outside the box, and bring you to and through the finish line, I hope you will give me a call!
