I loved a home I toured at an open house, but it went into contract quickly. Now what?
First, take a deep breath. This happens all the time in today’s market, especially when a home checks all the boxes.
We just experienced this firsthand with a condo our team had listed in Gahanna’s Woods at Shagbark. It was easy to see why there was so much interest. It was beautifully updated, featured a walkout lower level, and offered a peaceful ravine and creek view. Homes like that simply do not stay on the market for long.
But here’s the part most buyers don’t realize.
At the open house, we met many of the neighbors, and they were so friendly and welcoming. It was clear how much they value their community. In fact, more than one member of our team half-joked about moving in themselves, even without any prior plans to make a move at all.
Through those conversations, we also learned that several neighbors are already considering selling.
