So you think that you can not flip a house in this market? WRONG!

So you think that you can not flip a house in this market? WRONG!

This home located at 1893 Glenhaven Crescent in Kelowna was si

tting on the market for a great price 399k...it needed work but nothing too crazy. The sellers had started to reno the home and then due to some circumstances they decided that they did not want to finish the job so they decided to sell it at a probable loss...

A savvy buyer came along and saw the potential here...they picked the home up for 380k. 20k below list price and took 3.5 months to remedy the issues in the home. They they listed the property on the market for 499,900 and sold it within 15 days for 485k!!!! that means that the home sold for 105k more then they paid for it!!!! (minus building costs of course)

But the exciting thing is despite being in a depressed market someone had the wherewithal to do what most people only seem to think can happen in a good market....MAKE SOME MONEY!!!

If you have been giving flipping homes some thought I strongly encourage you to make your move now! Don’t wait until the market picks up or you will be one of the multitudes of people with the same idea...do today what most others are scared to do...there are homes out there just waiting to be snapped up, fixed up and turned around for a huge profit. Call me today if you feel like making some money!

Selling your own home may not be the best way to get things done.

Buyers Are More Comfortable Contacting Realtors Rather Then Dealing With The Seller Directly

Buyers may be leery of contacting or intruding upon home owners with whom they are unfamiliar. Potential buyers might also be intimidated looking through a home if the owner is present and they may feel uncomfortable making an offer if they know they’ll be negotiating directly with the owner. Buyers often appreciate the accessibility and objectivity of a respected CENTURY 21 real estate professional. If you are trying to sell your home on your own you may very well have some people through your home who act like they want to buy it. I have often spoken with home sellers who have had people through their home and were confused when they never received an offer from buyers who told them “wow…what a great house”. A lot of buyers are not upfront with the sellers if they have to talk to them directly. They may not want to hurt the sellers feelings or they may not want to get into a situation where the seller tries to “sell” them the home despite the fact it is not what they want.  Buyers will often say nice things about the property then leave and the seller never hear from them again. Buyers are much more honest and open with Realtors about what they do and do not like about a home. This information can then be passed on to the home owner and changes can be made to the home, the price, the yard or whatever it takes to make the home more appealing. At least the seller will know what the deal is and not be sitting by the phone waiting for the offer that will never come. Contact me anytime if you have any questions regarding real estate.
