Paying less for a home than the seller's price requires strategy and an agent who has nerve

First Responder Realtor | Connor with Honor | Defending Your Real Estate Interests with Integrity, Expertise, and Dedication Since 1998

In today’s episode, I’m giving you an in-depth look at the Santa Clarita real estate market as of November 4th, 2024. I’m Connor MacIvor—better known as "Connor with Honor"—and here’s the latest on inventory trends, price changes, and strategies for navigating home offers and escrow with confidence.

With 525 active listings in Santa Clarita and a surge in recent price reductions, buyers have more options and negotiating power. But if you’re considering an offer below the listing price, it’s crucial to back it up with solid market data to make it stand out without alienating the seller. Today, I’ll walk you through the steps of creating a data-backed offer, the value of “Coming Soon” listings, and what to do if you’re faced with “Back on Market” properties.

We’ll also cover essential tips for surviving escrow, from handling last-minute lender requests to making sure your finances are steady throughout the closing process. Sellers, I’ve got insights for you too, from staging and pricing strategies to what to do if your property returns to the market after an offer falls through.
