What Buyers Want

I just read an interesting article in REALTOR magazine about what buyers want in a home. It hammered home the point that so many sellers today still have a hrd time swallowing... buyers want to feel like they are getting a DEAL. Even if a home is priced below market, they are going to want to negotiate on pricing. They want incentives -- closing cost assistance, HOA dues paid for a year, a home warranty -- everything AND the kitchen sink! They want a home in move in condition. Gone are the days of offering allowances so that buyers could do work themselves, because folks today just don't have time. So, Mr. or Mrs. Seller, what can we do to get more folks looking at your home?
