The strongest offer for your sale is not necessarily the highest price. I suggest comparing the full terms so you can choose with a clear understanding of the tradeoffs.
The latest market report covers Utica single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. The number of homes sold in the latest market report was 9. Homes sold for an average of 99.9% of their asking prices. That average does not establish how often homes sold above asking or which terms accompanied the sales.
An offer near your asking price still deserves a careful reading of its financing requirements, inspection requirements and deadlines. I would compare what each buyer is promising with what must happen before the transaction can proceed. A higher price can involve tradeoffs, and your choice should reflect the terms you understand and can accept.
List each offer's price, financing requirements, inspection requirements and proposed dates side by side to make differences visible. Review the buyer's financing documentation with me and identify any questions that need clarification before you respond. Confirm whether the proposed closing timeline works for you, and discuss unclear terms before accepting or making a counteroffer.
