Frequently Asked Questions - Magnolia Woods

Q: Why do some homes sell for $60K below list price?

A: Overpricing is the kiss of death in any market. Buyers today are educated and patient. When a home sits, they assume something's wrong or wait for price drops. We price strategically from day one to capture initial interest and create urgency.

Q: How important is the "no HOA" feature?

A: Huge selling point. Many Niceville neighborhoods have $200-$400 monthly HOA fees. Magnolia Woods buyers specifically seek no-HOA communities. We highlight this prominently in all marketing.

Q: Will the zero inventory help my sale?

A: Absolutely, if priced correctly. No competition means serious buyers must consider your home. But overpricing negates this advantage — buyers will wait or look elsewhere rather than overpay.

Q: What's the typical buyer for Magnolia Woods?

A: Military families (40%), professional upgrades from smaller homes (35%), and out-of-state relocations (25%). Most use conventional or VA financing. Cash buyers are rare but increasing.

Q: How does your 1% listing work?

A: You pay 1% to list (full service included) plus whatever you choose to offer buyer's agents (typically 2-2.5%). Total commission 3-3.5% instead of 6%. Same MLS exposure, same marketing, thousands in savings.

Q: What if my home needs updates?

A: 2014-2016 construction may need kitchen/bath refreshing. We provide specific recommendations based on ROI and buyer expectations. Not every update pays — we focus on what matters.
