I have been in this business long enough to know that prices are ultimately dictated by "how much the market will bare" which is always based simply upon the current level of market activity and the particular seller's motivation. However, if we position ourselves properly we should be able to secure an offer that will satisfy your needs and one that will consummate at the true market value. As your buyer's agent, I would be more than happy to share the litany of strategies and experiences I've witnessed negotiating hundreds of offers to purchase real estate in downtown Boston's historic neighborhoods. An experienced buyer's agent can represent your best interests; navigating to avoid many of the possible pitfalls that you may experience in your pursuit to purchase real estate. With 12 years experience in  Downtown Boston's Historic Neighborhoods closing ±300 properties totaling over a quarter of a billion dollars, I provide the experience, expertise, honesty and a willingness to do what it takes in difficult circumstances!

 

 

Is this a Buyer's Market? I am very confident that it always depends upon whether or not the property in question has been priced appropriately! If a seller prices their property clearly better than the competition, that property will most likely sell at or near the listed price and within a few short weeks. However, if there ever was a time to find a "deal" it would be if you identify and match a property that suits your needs and wants with a truly motivated seller. During these uncertain economic times, I highly recommend that you focus on new inventory that has been priced attractively and/or properties that have been appropriately reduced...and hold steadfast to the adage "location, location, location! By the way, if you will also need to sell your current home, remember that real estate prices are relative provided you negotiate a financially lateral transaction!
