JUST SOLD! Ogden East Bench Rambler



I just closed on this listing with a seller.  We listed this home in July for $129,900.  The home is located at the top of the east bench just a stone's throw from the mountain trail system.  It is only a 2 bedroom 1 bath configuration.  The home had been used as a rental for the past 7 years.



The first day we listed it we had 4 showings.  Immediately, attention was drawn to some TLC items (paint and finish work) that needed some touch up.  We placed the home off market for a week as we addressed those items.  By the time we placed it back on the market things had slowed down a bit.  It took another month and we finally received an offer.

The original offer was for $115,000 and asking for $3,450 in closing costs.  That was a pretty big discount off our asking price.  They were clearly fishing.  After some discussion with the buyer's agent, we agreed to $127,000 and included $5,000 in seller paid closing costs.


Finally, the lender guidelines called for some adjustments to the closing cost concessions and we concluded the transaction at $125,700 with $3,700 in closing costs being paid.

Congratulations to my sellers!  If you are thinking of selling your home, CONTACT ME, and lets put a marketing plan together for you.
