ParticipantLindi,
I dont know if your comments were directed at me but in my case they were for real issues with the property that the seller would have said no to without a carefully orchestrated request that was difficult to say no to.Just trying to hold a seller hostage at the last minute before closing would not go over well and would damage a Realtors reputation.

ParticipantWhere I grew up 1 and 2 hour commutes each way many via public transportation are common and well accepted. It isnt really an issue of moving far away to get the house you want but rather the type of house you want isnt available so close to the cities.

ParticipantI dont know whether that is an accurate statement. I’m just reporting on my business which isnt what others are necessarily seeing. I wouldnt work with a 100% buyer right now as I wouldnt be able to sleep knowing what a risk they were taking. The exception would be if the 100% financing was by choice rather than necessity.

ParticipantIf done right it can work but if you come off as a jerk they may cut off there nose to spite their face. The most effective one I pulled was a $15K credit the day before contingency removal about 2 years ago. It worked even in a hot market because I figured out the sellers were set to close on a replacement property in 2 days and knew that they would be able to keep the buyers deposit(10K) if they walked after contingency removal. Theyw ere pissed but they did it cause I had them over the proverbial barrel.

ParticipantHere’s a sampling of what I am working on:
My Listing-Buyers putting about 300K down (more than 30%). Nothing to sell.
My Listing- Buyers putting 500k down (more than 60%). Nothing to sell.
Listing-Vacation home owner with about 35% equity. Looking to trade up. Could pay cash. Advised to list in late July to enjoy track season and be able to find replacement property in dead of winter.
Listing-Seniors own free and clear. Husband just passed away. Mom needs assisted living. Kids dont need money and just want to make sure there is plenty to take care of Mom. There is.
Buyers- Putting 30% down on $2M house could pay cash
Buyers-Putting 20% or more down on $2M house, less than 3X annual income with very stable career and strong growth potential. Was renting.
Buyers-Looking to about $1.5M probably put about $500K down, bubblesitters looking for the right deal. Currently renting.
Buyer-Retiree looking for townhome up to 400Kish, all cash. Currently renting.
Buyers-Empty nesters looking for townhome up to 550K, probably 50% down. Currently renting.
Buyer-young first timer with great career but just starting out. Living with parents and has saved $40K in 2 years. Looking but advised him to stay with parents another year or two if possible and save more money.
Investors-about 10 with piles of cash looking for opportunities that make sense over the long term. Not short term players. On the sidelines but ready to strike when opportunity presents itself.
