There Are Plenty Of Types Of Houses That Exist That Just Are Not Available To Purchase

I'd like to buy that house, over there... Well, that's great, but... it's not for sale! :-) With some regularity, I'll be chatting with a buyer who describes what they want to buy... and we find that there is nothing on the market that matches their interests. Sometimes we will go a step further and look to see if something similar has sold in the past year... and sometimes we will again find that nothing has sold that matches their interests. But... this doesn't mean that the house they want to buy doesn't exist... it just means that it is not for sale and has not been for sale recently. As you might imagine, this can be frustrating for said buyer... who really wants to buy a house like ___ or in ___ neighborhood... but finds that nobody is selling such a house or a house in such a location. What, then, should you do if this describes your home search? Three main options exist... 1. Continue to patiently (?) wait for such a home to come on the market. 2. Compromise somewhat on the overall vision for your next home and buy something that is close to what you want, but not spot on. 3. Start knocking on doors of homes you think you'd like to buy to see if you can talk a homeowner into selling.
