Heavenly Home or Dilapidated Dump. Which would you rather sell?
March 28th, 2008 by Sean Whaling
MSN had an article today that listed the different types of homes you can buy for $220,000 across the country and I wondered how this affects agents.
Here’s an interesting question: Which one of these homes would you rather sell? Both are priced at $220,000. One is located in Houston, TX and the other Oakland, CA. Obviously, geography plays a huge role in determining what you get for the money, but I’m curious about whether agents would prefer selling a masterpiece or a dump?
The obvious answer you’d think would be the nicer home, because its quality would make it easier to sell. But quality also attracts more discerning buyers who may be difficult to work with. Are buyers with lower expectations easier? I don’t know. What do you think?
For anyone out there needing some inspiration on how best to describe a difficult listing…check out this short video. It’s hilarious.

Given that you can purchase a nice home in Houston, but a bad house in Oakland…and they are the same price, which would you rather sell?…

That’s great, I never thought about such house selling issue before and I strongly agree that geography plays a huge rule in such kind of home selling situation.
