1101 Cascade Way is officially under contract!

Sometimes, all it takes is a little market adjustment to bring the right buyer and the right home together!

On Monday, we made a strategic price adjustment. That same day, we heard from buyers who had submitted an offer just 10 days earlier. After some renewed negotiations, a revised offer came in on Thursday, and our sellers accepted it as written!

✨ The result? Under contract after just 30 days on the market!

Here’s what makes this story especially rewarding: the buyer had visited our open house and fell in love with the home. ❤️ With the right pricing strategy, we were able to reconnect with an interested buyer and move forward toward a successful sale.

This is a great reminder that pricing right matters! Understanding the market, recognizing when to make an adjustment, and knowing how to bring buyers and sellers together can make all the difference.

Thinking about selling? We’d love to help you develop a strategy that gets results!
