Most Buyers Today Make at Least One Compromise Pie Chart

Your next home doesn’t need to check every box on your wish list. It just needs to check the right ones. Even though affordability is improving, it’s still tight for many buyers. And the people who are moving right now are realizing one thing can make the process a whole lot easier: a flexible wish list. Cotality found 70% of buyers ended up compromising on one or more wish list item. And for those buyers, that simple shift opened up more homes that fit both their needs and their budget. When’s the last time you took a look at your wish list and sorted it into what's truly a must-have and what's a nice perk? If you want help or want an expert’s insights on what to prioritize in our local market, DM me. A little flexibility can open up a lot more opportunity.
