I may have some answers for yo...We sold this house. I may have some answers for you, though in respect to the buyers' privacy I won't go into too much detail.<br /><br />First, we gave the buyers a fairly generous credit towards certain repairs. The "official price" remains $585k though I guess. Conveniently, that means commissions are unaffected. What's up with that? I'm planning to ask our Realtor.<br /><br />Second, though the kitchen indeed needs work, you can't (easily) add size. We're told a kitchen that size is quite a rarity in Burbank at that price range. For amateur chefs or just folks that like to entertain in the kitchen, this was a big plus.<br /><br />Third, lots of little things made it attractive to the right buyer. The built-in doggie door on the sliding patio door for example. Or the rear alley access with electric, remote-controlled electric gate and parking for two cars. A room already ready to go as a nursery. Ethernet AND coax in most rooms. Original refinished hardwood floors. Restored original 1920's wood trim (beautiful). Great neighborhood. Etc.<br /><br />With interest rates at most likely all-time lows (in retrospect) I would imagine the buyers didn't feel like the premium was worth losing out on a house they felt was perfect for them. It seemed like a win-win scenario to us.carlivarnoreply@blogger.com
