Why does he have to be saying anything other than he's tired of house hunting? It really isn't fun for the majority of people.

Depends. Most likely is bummed because what he wants he can't afford or he's getting beat up in multiple bids and not winning one.

Most likely it means that the person can't afford what they want...they are not happy w/ what they are able to afford. Or, it could just mean that they aren't ready yet or that they don't like looking at homes.

He's lost his joy and some hope. He's saying you need to do something different for him to change this experience.
I have a great tool for this and I had to use it 3 times, successfully thank goodness, in 2015 alone.
Maybe I'll blog about it, I've actually already done that in the recent past and I know I've mentioned it in the Q&A.
I know it works.

Looking at homes can be overwhelming especially if you don't find something that really speaks to you. That TV show where you look at 3 and HAVE to pick 1? So not the real worls.

It really depends ... but when a buyer would say that it could also mean there is just nothing on the market that is exciting him and he wants to just put this on hold til things change.

Some are saying exactly that. I've had buyers get tired of looking and decide to rent. Others eventually realize that they aren't going to find a $400,000.00 house for $300,000.00.

He doesn't like what he is seeing - He's depressed - He's scared & wants to hide for another year & probably never pull the trigger.
If he is renting he's getting pressed hard 60 days+ to resign - they can be really nasty.

In your area, where homes are very affordable, this would be an indication of the absence of motivation. In our are with high prices, it could simply be frustration.

Debbie Reynolds - the motivation is now low! Simple.
The 'compecency' is now more dominant than the benefit of home ownership.

With such "thin" inventory, they probably haven't found a home or condo in the community of choice.

Debbie Reynolds This person wasn't a real buyer. You probably learned that nothing made this person happy when looking at homes. How many homes did you show the buyer? That might be a hint.

Sounds like 2 possibilites to me:
Tired of looking at houses - perhaps his price range has given him 2nd thoughts
He wasn't a good prospect to begin with

The first question that crosses my mind is how motivated is this buyer. This is the mirror image of a seller who "wants to test the market, but doesn't really need/want to sell." This may be a buyer who "wanted to test the market and didn't really need/want to buy."

He's probably saying "I'm tired of looking at houses and I think I'll rent for a while."
Seems pretty darn clear to me.

Can be frustrating for buyers also. Maybe they can't buy the type of home they want. Could be tired of searching...
3,986,308
Depends on the person...they may be frustrated or they decided they don't have faith in you...or...

Could be he:
- hasn't found something he likes
- is too embarrased to say he needs to save up more money
- wants to work with someone else and doesn't have the balls to come out and say it.
4,800,132
A. He's telling the truth.
B. He really doesn't want to buy.
C. He found a home he's buying with another agent. FSBO, etc.
D. His wife just found out about his mistress and is divorcing him.
E. Any or all of the above.
4,967,166
I had one client that we wrote 17 contracts and were always beat out, they are renting till next year.

He is saying someone showed him too many homes without giving him a reality check, and now he realizes that he can't afford what he dreams of at night.

5,583,328
he could be giving out many messages...he's changing Realtors; he is truly going to rent; you're not showing him the right homes; and many more scenarios....
902,428
That he is tired of looking at houses to buy and it might make more sense for him to rent for a while and look at his leisure?
1,728,767
Buyer fatique from not seeing what he has envisioned that he would find. I would be concerned that he has decided to work with another agent.
3,350,589
Debbie, My sense is that it may mean something different for each individual. It could mean just about anything … including maybe getting cold feet.
3,988,013
He has looked at many homes and liked several a lot looking at 2 or 3 more than once. Made an offer on one and withdrew it hours later. Something isn't right and can't put my finger on it.
766,819
They can't afford the home they want and are unwilling to settle for less. This is why we get paid the big bucks. It is our job to keep them involved and to buy the best available property within their budget. They need to know that in the long run they will be much better off than renting.
