Top 5 US Cities with Properties Selling for More Than the Asking Price
Both demand and home prices are at all-time highs. This could result in you paying more for your dream house than you had anticipated and more than the seller is asking.
In a recent study, Moving Feedback, a website that helps people find the best movers, examined Zillow data on homes that sold in U.S. metro areas for greater and lower prices than they were originally listed for.
Harrison Gough, a specialist at Moving Feedback, said in a statement: “This study offers a great insight into where buyers are making a good amount selling and where might not be the best area to invest in buying and selling homes currently.”
