Searching For Homes In South Sacramento County

Looking for homes south Sacramento county can be daunting. That is unless you are flexible. If you are looking for acreage that is in tip top shape with a stellar location and a discount price, not going to happen. The numbers never lie. The prices have gone up while the inventory has gone down.

A needle in a haystack may happen, but it could take years. If you have to sell in order to buy then it could take up to a decade. If you do not have flexibility within your needs and wants, then the right property could repeatedly be out of reach. Great properties wait on no one. If you are looking for homes in south Sacramento county, the rural areas, get ready to spend. There are no deals here unless you want to put in sweat equity.

When will there be a deal? Not now is the answer. If you come across a property that fits most of your needs, buy it, don’t hesitate. Agents can’t work with buyers for the long term who have no immediate motivation as they can’t afford to wait years for a buyer to wake up to the market. The market always rules. Conform to the market and then you will succeed. Agents only get paid when we close an escrow. We must invest our time wisely. That doesn’t mean we aren’t committed it just means we can’t work for years without receiving a paycheck, could you? 

When we find a buyer a property that works and they make a seriously below market offer, it can limit their future opportunity. This is a sure-fire way to alienate a listing agent towards a buyer. What are the odds we could run into that same agent again on another property? Sacramento is still a small town. Will the agent remember your name? I would, so keep that in mind. Agents give you guidance because we know how things work. When you make decisions not based on realistic numbers, it can be costly to your future opportunity.

As an effective well-run team like Weintraub and Wallace Realtors must make smart business decisions. Sometimes it’s best to cut our losses to free up time for the next buyer, who is ready to buy today and realistic on pricing.

This particular listing agent is one of the nicest people I have ever worked with.
