It’s never a good sign for prospective Buyers when you arrive at a showing to find several parties milling around in front, waiting for their Realtors, to tour a just-listed home (conversely, it’s always a very good sign for the listing agent).
And that was in addition to the two groups already looking around inside.
Yet that’s exactly the scene I encountered this morning when I showed up to screen the home pictured above for a client.
So what’s all the commotion about?
While the home is anything but sexy — 2 BR, 1 Bath, extremely dated — the price more than makes up for it. In fact, at $124,900, it’s easily $50,000 less than similar, nearby homes (and $114k under the assessed tax value!), even without a garage.
How much do you want to bet that that gap closes — or disappears completely — once the inevitable multiple offer feeding frenzy takes hold?
