What Matters?

Eric Thompson, President Windermere Real Estate

In their annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the National Association of Realtors asks a fascinating question to the home buyers in their survey.  The question is “On which characteristic of the home did you make a compromise?”

Buyers enter the process with a “wish list” and a picture of their perfect home.  Inevitably, the reality of the market sets in and there are some compromises made along the way.  So, what matters most to a buyer?  What will they compromise?

It turns out that buyers will make a compromise on price well before many other items.  Only four percent of buyers compromise on quality of schools, 14 percent on distance from job, 18 percent on condition of home, and 23percent on price.
