Price reduction on homes for sale in Gulf Breeze have been ticking up in recent weeks.
This is a positive development for buyers in the market for homes in Santa Rosa County, considering…
1. Prices skyrocketed earlier this year to unseen levels.
2. Inventory was historically low(see #1!)
3. Interest rates have more than doubled from early 2022, destroying some buyer’s ability to purchase homes.
Here are some factors to consider when you’re looking at homes that have recent price reductions:
Was the original listing over-inflated?
The single-family home price that was recently reduced in Milton or Navarre may just be due to gravity – the seller’s expectations may now be in line with reality.
Home inspections by other potential buyers may have uncovered issues.
Those buyers may have decided to move on to other properties, which the seller may not be required to disclose, especially if the home is being sold “as-is”.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider making an offer on the home – it just means you need to re-evaluate the home’s value and whether you want to take on the issues that come along with the home inspection.
The seller’s motivation to sell may have changed, changing their sense of urgency.
They may have been laid off recently, or experience new financial difficulties.
This can be advantageous to a buyer, but can be difficult to determine, especially if a listing agent sits between the buyer and the seller.
Consider also, the price reduction may not be the ultimate sale price.
That’s where patience, due diligence, negotiation and a strong understanding of the real estate market in Walton County come into play.
