Sherwood Score! $75k under original list price

By Living Room Realty, September 17, 2019

The market has been softening, homes have been sitting and prices have been dropping. But, some are still nervous to write under ask (the list price). This Sherwood cottage is a lesson in always writing! If the Seller is eager, they will often counter. Especially in this market.

My clients loved this Sherwood cottage. It had been renovated after a recent fire and the finishes were STUNNING. Especially for a star baker (like my client!).

So what started out as a $530,000 house, ended up theirs for $455,000. $75,000 under the original list price! All because of great communication between both agents and a willingness to negotiate.
