The Lawhead Team would like to share the latest One Cool Thing about trying to find the perfect home – “Try and try again”.
55% of prospective home buyers who were actively searching for a property to purchase in Q2 say their house hunts were unfruitful for three months or loner. These are the top reasons for their failed home searches:
- 50% were unable to find a home at the price they can afford
- 43% were not able to find a home in their neighborhood of choice
