Some home buyers have a love-hate relationships with the properties they see. They either fall madly in love with a place, finding no faults, or are totally disgusted, even outraged that I would dare show them something so terrible.
Sometimes, underlying a buyer’s rejection reaction are their own irrational expectations or other psychological quirks. But other times, there are hidden issues that can cause a gut reaction of hate toward a particular home.
Here are a few I’ve seen time and time again:
4. Childhood beliefs.
Where I grew up, corner lots were generally the premium lots of a subdivision. But in some areas, especially ones with many cars, apparently there was a time when there a series of serious accidents occurred, with cars ending up inside homes in part because the lots were positioned in a particular way vis-a-vis traffic flows and stop signs.
I have had numerous clients over the years mention this, and specify that they are completely uninterested in living on a corner, for this precise reason. Other buyers I have prefer corner lots for the privacy and the lack of surrounding neighbors. Each has there own opinion.
