“There should be 3 million homes on the market right now…Yet, there are only 1.9 million.” Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors.
What a great opportunity to jump in if you are selling! Interest rates are still low. Buyer demand is strong – even stronger than a year ago. The economy is humming along. And not enough folks are selling. Then along comes hurricanes and fires and there goes the opportunity for new home construction to help stabilize supply and demand. Sellers – you are needed now
So we have the known shortage – but for what other reasons should you list now?
Buyer demand is expected to continue. Competition is lower right now – time of the year. An opportunity for you to move up! And, an opportunity to move on to the next adventure! Are you ready
Unlike the rest of the market – the luxury home market is in the hands of the buyers!
The inventory of luxury homes in some parts of the country is more plentiful than demand requires and those higher priced homes tend to stay on the market longer. This is an opportunity to use the investment from your present home to step up to new levels or, if you have been apartment living and saving for this day, to jump right in and skip the starter home completely! The opportunity is there for you. Check it out in today’s report
A professional REALTOR brings value to the sale of your home. Ever wonder why the majority of folks who try to go it on their own eventually turn to a professional real estate agent? It is not just the risks, the potential legal pitfalls and the safety issues. Think about the psychology of the process. The seller thinks they will get more money by not having to pay a commission. The buyer thinks the seller is saving money so why should the seller be the only beneficiary of not paying agent fees. And the stage is quickly set to erode what sounded like a windfall savings.
Professionals have hours of training and continuing education requirements. Professionals bring experience, skills, and resources to the seller. The seller is hiring the agent but receives the benefits of the multiple listing service (MLS) and all the other agents in the local board. The more your home listing is exposed to the market, the greater chances of being sold – and sold at the right price.

It's about you! Or, at least it should be. It is not about your agent or the agent you may hire. Personally, I hate talking about me. I will gladly explain the program and how your house will be marketed, but realistically - you should have checked me out before inviting me to your home! If you do, our conversation is easily focused on your needs and how we proceed.
