Imagine trading in a big family house for something a little smaller. That’s these buyers in a nutshell. Their kids have left home, or maybe they’ve just retired.

2.First Home Buyers:
The dream! They’re usually newlyweds, young families, or single buyers. Itching to find that perfect starter home. Think entertaining in the backyard and having room for a family pet. They’ve probably binge-watched every home renovation show, and they’re envisioning a future in their first home.
3. The Up-Sizers:
These potential buyers are feeling pretty good about life. Maybe they got a promotion, or they’ve got another kid on the way. Either way, they’re ready for a home that’s a step up with extra bedrooms? a home office, or maybe they’ve always wanted that home with a pool.
4. Luxury Lovers:
Think high-end. We’re talking penthouses, beachfronts, and even rural estates. These buyers might even roll up with their interior designer or personal assistant to open homes.
5. The Investor:
The savvy money movers. they are smart at identifying the long-term potential of a property. Don’t be surprised if they own properties, they’ve never even set foot in. These buyers are looking to build upon their existing property portfolio.
6. Long Gamers:

7. The Fixers and Flippers:
