Clearly all sellers have motivation to sell their property, otherwise they wouldn’t be for sale. However, the truly motivated sellers can usually be spotted through property updates like price reductions, added furnishings, or offers of seller financing.

These listing characteristics tend to indicate to potential buyers that they’re a good deal, or that the sellers are more flexible to make a deal. Sometimes, however, a price reduction can be deceiving if the property was grossly overpriced to begin with. Therefore, the key to a good deal is finding the homes that have been reduced below their current market value.

Atenas is a small mountain town about halfway between San Jose and Central Pacific beaches.
