Two Essential Tips for Finding Real Estate Deals

Price reductions used to be rare, but things have changed. Right now, there are over 1,475 active listings with price drops. With the recent FED rate adjustments, we'll see if that changes in the next 60 days. If you're in the market for a home and hunting for a deal, here are two things to focus on:

  1. Price Reductions: Don’t just notice the price drop. Look at how much it has been reduced and by what percentage.

  2. Days on Market: For the last decade, homes sold in under 15 days on average. Now, many listings are sitting for 180 days or more. If a home has been on the market for a while and has seen significant price cuts, that could be your opportunity.

To make it easier, I’ve built a website that tracks price reductions. Check it out and see what deals are out there: Explore Price Reductions
