It's really true! My new little home in Apache Junction, Arizona listed for $165,000 just went under contract!
Now I want to list all of the nice homes under $200K.
This one went on the MLS Friday, December 7, http://activerain.com/blogsview/298623/3653-South-Conestoga-Road, we had one offer on the 8th and another on the 9th. Seller accepted the second offer.
This is a darling little home, and I figured it would go fast, but am so pleased that it went this fast. Already spoke with the lender to reassure myself somewhat, buyer's agent went to title today and escrow was opened. Ahhhhhh for those good old days! Are they back? Maybe! We'll just have to wait and see.
Now I just need to see if this closes as promised. I'll keep you all posted.
So? Do you think it sold so quickly because:

Feel free to share. I think it was all of the above, and maybe more!

Joddie, thanks for dropping by and for commenting. I think that might be true also for the second offer. Looking in that neighborhood. Lucky me, huh?
Hi Candace, thanks for the kind words. So much fun when this happens - especially in this market. Heck it took me longer to do all of the work to get the listing ready then it did to sell the home.
Mary, I'm certainly keeping good thoughts about our market. It's pretty amazing though, especially two offers in two days?
Thanks for coming by.
Mary, it's all good. I was teasing. Elizabeth caught me using her hat! :-)
Kathy, thanks for coming by. Lots of marketing that's for sure......so hope it's a sign of what's to come.
Joeann, well that's a thought, huh? Thanks Joeann, appreciate your stopping by and commenting.
Stephanie, well one could hope that is true......:-) Thanks for dropping by, good to hear from you.
That is wonderful news! I am so happy for you. That is the most active market here too. Sadly, I don't have any listings in that price range!
Cynthia, that was my last one in that price range. That'll be what I'll be catering to in the future. :-) Thanks for stopping by.
It's probably a combination of all those things, Teri. As you know, although price is important, sometimes it's the extra effort we make to market. Sometimes we just get lucky, too. :) But in your case, I'm confident it was the total package you provided for your sellers.
Teri,
It takes a great agent in a slow market to sell a house in two days. If I had confidence in anyone it would be you.
PS> Like the hat border combo I may try that one tomorrow.
Hi Teri,
Looks like you having a winning marketing plan that gets the job done! Congratulations :)
Elizabeth, I think luck might have had something to do with it, but it doesn't matter to me. It sold, and has passed inspection and we're good to go. No matter what, I always market very aggressivley. Thanks for dropping by.
Tracy, well thank you and thank you and thank you. By the way? I got those tips from you on the hat and the border. Love them.........
Suzanne, thank you, and thanks for dropping by. Glad it worked.
Came back to tell you that I listed a home in the under $200,00 price range yesterday! Yeah!!!
Cynthia, cool. Let us know how you do!
Teri,
You know, I think it's all of the above. My sense is that there are buyers looking, watching and waiting on the sidelines, and when a new listing comes up that priced and presented well, buyers will buy. I just did the calcs for the last four buyer contracts that I've written over the past 5 weeks. The houses were contracted on in an average of 22 days. Listings had photos and tours. All the homes were clean.
Let's all hope it's an early sign of spring!

Dru, that's wonderful to hear. I always figure if it's happening for me, it is elsewhere as well. Thanks for dropping by.
