St. Louis car dealer Bommarito Auto Group’s tag line is “where price sells cars”….well, according to the results of a newly released survey, I think the same is true about the current real estate market…it’s “where price sells homes”. The number one reason given for choosing the home purchased by first-time home buyers was price, according to the recently released 2011 American Housing Survey (AHS) by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Thirty-eight (38) percent of first-time home buyers said price was their key concern, followed by thirty (30) percent who gave proximity to work as their chief concern.
Repeat, or “trade-up” buyers, on the other hand focused more on the homes design and the neighborhood with thirty six (36) percent of trade-up buyers say the design of the home was their primary reason for selecting a particular house and twenty eight (28) percent said it was the looks and design of the community.
