If you’ve not already read the article ‘The Flexibility Scale – Buy First or Sell First?’ make sure to give it a read! This amazing couple, Kyle & Mel, were right on the cusp of the market shift, having purchased first in Mission and then selling in Abbotsford.
It’s one of those stories that felt like a huge win, but it was also a nail biter, for them and even for us. Look at their happy faces though when their patience and courage paid off! To cut a long story short, after 4 pre-open house showings resulted in 3 attempted ‘bully offers’ they decided with our advice, to wait until after the open house for offer presentation and so to politely reject those offers. We then hosted two open houses over the weekend, which only generated 3 more showings. That’s how quickly the market shifted and things were silent between then and Tuesday.
As always though, our advice was to ‘trust the process’. Tuesday’s offer presentation rolled around and only one of the offers came back, before another came in that was the best offer of the five total we received – which we gladly accepted. They managed to buy their home at a great price with the opportunity to have a home inspection and sold their current home way over list without subjects. Those are the kinds of wins we love celebrating!
