Jacksonville Market Improving

You can almost feel it in the air. Now that the inventory of homes on the market continues to drop........ Buyers really aren't in the drivers seat anymore. I sold a house last week and we (of course) got into a multiple offer situation. I explained to my Buyers how it works in great detail. Then I suggested that they "sleep on it" and consider their "highest and best offer". Keep in mind, they LOVE this house. We looked at a dozen others AFTER we looked at this one back in November. Everytime we left a home, they compared the others to this one. They asked me if I thought they should go in at full asking price. After another CMA and a lot of discussion, they decided they wanted it bad enough to offer full price. We did and we got it!  I had written a sweet cover letter and I'd like to think that helped the Seller make his decision. My Buyers are ecstatic and we're well into the process of getting the financing together. So there you go... Another home
