So you’re looking for houses for sale…specifically Sequim houses for sale?
Like so many potential home buyers today, you start your search online. Maybe a general search on Google or one of the big national websites, like Zillow or Realtor.com.
According to The Balance, “… most home buyers have little idea where to find homes for sale. They tend to presume that a national website with lots of pretty pictures, maybe some question and answer pages, is a good place because they see a lot of activity. National websites are not your best option.”
Here’s why:
- National websites collate listings from sources, which may be unreliable or misleading
- Listings for homes on national websites may be out-of-date. There is nothing worse than falling in love with a property, only to find out it sold weeks ago
- Many national websites of houses for sale actively encourage real estate agents to advertise, and those agents may not be experienced within your area
The Best Places Online to Find Houses for Sale
- Multiple Listing Service (MLS) – Multiple listing service listings are updated instantly. Real estate agents and other paid participants use the MLS to list properties for sale, and update those listings as sales are pending and in escrow.
- Find a Local Real Estate Broker or Agent Website – Many local real estate websites will include a current MLS feed of houses for sale in their area of expertise. But know that only a paid MLS subscriber has access to the full detail that the MLS database provides.
- Develop a Relationship with a Local Real Estate Agent – Even if you’re not yet ready to buy, your local real estate agent can set up a MLS search and email you listings based on your specific buying criteria, that way you have a realistic view of houses for sale that are within your price range and meet other criteria like location and size.
