Samantha Welch+FollowWhy New Homes Are Suddenly Cheaper Than Old OnesThinking about buying a house?

It’s a rare moment where new beats old on price! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips75Share

Samantha Welch+FollowWhen your realtor pushes a price drop, watch outLowering your home’s price at your realtor’s urging—only to get a suspiciously low offer from their own client the same day—feels like more than just bad timing.
