High Demand and Low Supply Gives You Maximum Leverage
When there’s strong demand for an item and a limited supply of it available, the seller
has maximum leverage in the negotiation. You might already realize this advantage enables
you to sell at the best possible price, but it also means you can negotiate the ideal contract terms
to suit your needs.
And since demand is so high, there’s a good chance you’ll get offers from multiple buyers who
are willing to compete for your house. When you do, work with your agent to look closely at each
offer. Make sure you understand all the unique terms and conditions before you make
your decision.
Bottom Line
The current imbalance of supply and demand is good news for you. Let’s connect
today to discuss how much leverage you have, and why it’s best to sell now instead
of later, if you’re ready.
