Keep Tabs On The Neighborhood
Not only do sellers claim and save their home online, but they also keep searches going after the fact. Why? To keep tabs on the market, see the comps and have a real-time sense of what’s happening nearby.
Just like when you were a buyer, knowing about the area and types
of homes in the market is a good move for any homeowner. Take a
neighboring home for sale as an opportunity to see what the market bears. You
can also learn about the latest trends in home design.
Speaking to a real estate agent can keep you informed of changes to property
taxes or how assessments are changing in your town. A smart real estate agent,
working their listing, will be an incredible resource to would-be clients down
the road. Leverage their experience when your neighbor sells.
Take note when your neighbor goes to sell their home. It’s not just a time to
nose around, but to document, inspect or learn from the home sale. Some homes
get listed once in a lifetime — take advantage of the opportunity!
