ASK NAGEL BUYERS PAY LESS!!
Compare These 2 Props & Note They Are Identical, EXCEPT Our Buyer Paid Less!
2448 W. Augusta Unit 1 went off the mkt June 2013 & sold for $365K – Not my client L
2414 W. Iowa Unit 1 went off the mkt Dec 2014 & sold for $329K – My Clients! J
Here are the facts:
- 2414 W. Iowa local is better (less busy street), which offsets age of the bldg – WASH
- The bldg is nearly identical & has the same exact finishes & room sizes – WASH
- Augusta went under contract in 6/2013 where the mkt was much lower than Now!
- 2013 was rebound year w/ 14% Appreciation but this was in June so impact was 7%.
- 2014 the market started to stabilize with 6% Appreciation.
Therefore, all other factors equal which they were, we should have paid 13% More!
We Should Have Spent $412,000.
We Closed For $329,000!
That’s An $83,000 Difference!!!
