Traditionally, prospective homebuyers have a wish list of features and amenities in mind as they conduct their search for a new residence. Perhaps quartz countertops or a three-car garage or maybe even a backyard pool.
Those looking to build a new home might have incorporated upgrades or extras by the builder to get their dream house. But the white-hot real estate market has changed all that.
With super-low inventory of resale homes and homebuilders across the country struggling to keep up with demand, homebuyers are being forced to abandon their wish lists just to get in a home.
“People have definitely started compromising their wish lists” just to live in Maricopa, said Jillian Welker, sales associate for Gehan Homes in The Lakes at Rancho El Dorado. “A 10-item wish list is now two.”
