There are many frustrated Boston luxury condo home buyers in our current market. Every time they see a desirable condominium, it already has several offers submitted on the property How can you find a Boston condo in such a competitive market?
From my experience almost all buyers are doing one of two things:
-
They are looking at Zillow or their other favorite real estate website.
-
They are going to open houses.
What is the one thing they have in common? Buyers are only looking at Boston condos that are available to the public. If you use one of these two sources, then you will not see any unique Boston luxury condo inventory. You are just looking at the same condominiums that the entire Boston buyer population is chasing.
Boston condos tend to go fast in this market, so the properties that are still available are the leftovers. It might feel like you are late to the party because even those homes have multiple offers on them. Since you are only looking at the same houses as everyone else, you are on the road to frustration. Many Boston luxury condo buyers throw up their hands and say, “That’s it! I’ll wait til next year”
How can you win in this competitive Boston luxury condo market?
Well, consider this; while everyone is focused on those publicly available condominiums, you are missing the homeowners in the neighborhood who are sitting at their kitchen tables and deciding to sell their homes. They haven’t hit the market yet, but they are ready to sell.
By limiting yourself to what is on the market, then you miss these sellers. By getting to these sellers before they publicly list their cono, you will avoid all the competition and multiple offers.
So, how do you get to those sellers? My staff can help you with this.
It takes a very concentrated effort to get to those sellers who are not yet on the market. Thanks to today’s technology, we are able to find homes that match your criteria in the neighborhood you desire. Then, we go to those Boston luxury condo owners. We call them, knock on their doors, email them; we do whatever it takes to find those homeowners who are prepared to sell their home. It is really a win-win situation, as they avoid the hassle of listing their property and you are finally able to beat the competition and purchase the home you want. Plus we will be able to reduce our commission, saving money for the buyers and sellers.
