The new trend has been micro versus macro markets. Pricing/desire to purchase in a neighborhood can vary by area within a community or even a few blocks. Buyers are laser-focused on having amenities, and walkable communities with great schools and they want their properties updated and ready for move-in. Sellers who are thinking about selling need to decide now to work towards making the upgrades and repairs now. Having a plan to get the house ready at least 3 months prior to selling is key.
