The 3 Types of Home Buyers

Premium Move-in-Ready Buyers

These buyers have more money than time, and will pay premium prices for move in ready homes that require no work. They typically purchase on emotion rather than logic and make strong offers.

 

When marketing to these buyers we focus on high-end features, lifestyle, and
emotion.

Move-in and Renovate Buyers

These buyers are okay with small to medium renovations and upgrading, however they typically overestimate the costs of these projects. They search for homes that look like good deals online, and when viewing the home in person they use their ‘mental calculator’ to determine a fair offer price.

 

When marketing to these buyers we focus on emphasizing the best features of the home and the neighbourhood.

Flippers, Investors, and Deal Seekers

These buyers are educated and search the market for a homes that can be purchased at a discount to renovate and turn a profit.

 

When marketing to these buyers we focus on price first, and the best strategy is to under-price the home to create a quick bidding war.

Market Pricing

Choosing the Right Asking Price

Profiles-and-Pricing

Under Valued

The property receives overwhelming attention and sells immediately at or above asking price with multiple bidders; however, profits may have be left on the table.

Sweet Spot

The property receives lots of online views, inquiries, and private showings - and strong offers at or above asking price. Buyers compete for homes everyday in the sweet spot.

No-Man's Land

The property receives lots of online views, inquiries, and private showings - but no offers (or only low-ball offers). Buyers are telling us that the home looks like a deal online, but not in person.

No-Chance Land

The property receives lots of online views, and inquiries - but very few private showings. Buyers are telling us that the home doesn’t look like a good deal, even online, so it’s not worth a private viewing.

Pricing Strategies

Sweet-Spot

The Auction

Designed To Create ABidding War On Your Property
• Market conditions need to show high demand in your market segment
• The ‘asking price’ is the minimum price you would accept and should be visibly below current market value
• We allow 3-7 days of public viewings then open up offers to the highest bidder

SUCCESS RATE:VERY HIGH

The Winner

Designed To Generate Strong Offers Quickly
• Win regardless of market conditions
• The ‘asking price’ needs to be competitive to attract the most interest from the first day on the market
• Deferred maintenance items should be taken care of before listing
• Staging is used to make your home appeal to a wide range of buyers
SUCCESS RATE: HIGH

The Market Leader

Designed To Sell Premium Homes, At NewHigh Prices

SUCCESS RATE: MEDIUM
