good real estate market: The Market Has Turned Upward - Read About The Data
- 04/05/12 07:01 AM
Well, it may have arrived before you planned, but the market has turned. Not only are people in almost every area of the country talking about higher volume, but the data back up their talk. Of course there are some areas still in the trough, and many sellers are still selling at below what they purchased properties for, but the numbers are in. According an article on the NAR (National Association of Realtors) web site, "Investment and Vacation Home Sales Surge in 2011". Well it seems that investment and vacation home sales indicate that someone has some money. Maybe it is just … (0 comments)
good real estate market: HEY SELLERS!!! BUYERS Are Already IN This Market!!! GET THERE YOURSELF!!!
- 08/20/10 03:39 AM
If you are a seller of real estate, and your property is still on the market after longer than the average SOLD property in your market segment, you are chasing the market - DOWN ! The statistics for whether prices are going up, down, or remaining the same, are open to interpretation. But lets face it - BUYERS HAVE THE MONEY. If you have had your property on the market longer than the others you are CHASING THE MARKET DOWN. If you think I am just being negative - here is a new example of a statistic that Buyers are relying … (1 comments)
good real estate market: Falmouth Housing Data - 15 Months
- 06/28/10 10:48 AM
Here is some housing market data for Falmouth MA. It shows that there have been twice as many properties coming on the market as have been sold. And the current inventory is almost 1 year. This chart is for Non-Waterfront properties only. While Falmouth has more waterfront that any other town in the country, there are many more homes in Falmouth that are not on the water.
The average list to sale price shows 95%. The only problem I have with that nymber/percentage is that is relative to the listing price at the time it went under agreement. This does not take … (3 comments)
good real estate market: Use the $8000 tax credit fro a down payment!
- 05/21/09 01:46 PM
It appears that the new tax credit of $8000 can be used for a down payment. There is some confusion about how it all works, and more confusion about whether the tax credit can be used. One newspaper in AZ reported a fairly even report about the issue. The comments also give a few different perspectives about the usefulness of applying the credit to a down payment. Whether it is used as a down payment or as a tax credit, it is still eight grand toward a new home! In my area, the foreclosures can all use $8K in fixes, so allowing … (1 comments)
good real estate market: How many Non-MLS agents in your town?
- 05/08/09 03:06 AM
There are over two millon real estate licenses in the United States. Across the country, less that half of those licensees are in ANY MLS. In my town there are more than a few that are not in any MLS. The big aggregating sites would have the public believe that "all the listings" are on their pages. In fact, that is not so. In order to learn about a real estate market, you need to find the agents and brokers that are working in that market. Customers are like first year agents who are madly trying to learn their market area. But, they … (5 comments)
good real estate market: Top States For Real Estate Searches in April
- 05/06/09 11:03 PM
The Top Ten States list is an indication of future real estate interest. Because most people are now using the Internet for 2 to 3 months before they talk to any agent or broker, this list is a good indicator of places that future real estate activity will occur. When you know where people are spending their time studying property and market information, you can plan your lending packages, your inspection marketing, your buyer marketing pushes, etc. Supporting data from the government's"Housing Price Indicator" shows that the bottom may have been reached last November (2008). Nationally, February pricing data shows that prices in … (5 comments)
good real estate market: Where did they look for property in April?
- 04/27/09 07:23 AM
Can you believe May is only a few days away. The sun is shining and the weather is improving and the Red Sox are beating the Yankees... (I'm a Texan, but here in New England, you have to mention the Red Sox when they are doing well.) I will be posting the monthly results that we prepare from the search activity on REindex.com. Because the average "real estate researcher", sometimes called a buyer, is now looking on the net for over 6 weeks before they schedule anything with a broker or agent, this surfing data is interesting. When the data is … (4 comments)
good real estate market: Where Were People Searching In March?
- 04/04/09 12:34 AM
There were some new states that appeared in the Top Ten States Searched in the month of March. While the large states gathered the most numbers because of their large land area and population sizes, there were many small to medium states that had lots of search activity. When the size of state is taken into account, some of the smaller states had a lot of activity. We use this information for a few things. One is to see if there is an area of the country that is developing faster than others. Another is to see if the activity from … (3 comments)
good real estate market: How can I make this a positive? Or No-where to go but up!
- 03/07/09 06:37 AM
The OFHEO (Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight) aka the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) produced another smattering of data that is hard to make into a positive blog. Here is my try at interpreting the data. There we six states that have showed positive appreciation in the last year. They are North Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, Texas, Hawaii, and South Dakota. These states were the leaders in home price appreciation (and the only positive states in the list.) There are a few other states that were close to being positive, too. Many of the other 44 states have started to see an increase in real estate … (0 comments)
good real estate market: More Real Estate Searching In NY Than Any Other State In February
- 03/03/09 05:16 AM
There were more searches for New York real estate than any other state on REindex.com, The Site Engine®. New York has been in the news lately as forecasts of falling prices start to affect the market there. But whether it is news reports, or true activity as the spring market opens up, New York has increased activity. When the number of searches is weighted by the number of towns, New York falls to 21st place, so there is activity in other states that is strong also. But given the size of California and the increases in market activity there, and the size of Texas … (1 comments)
good real estate market: It is the worst of times, It is the best of times.
- 12/06/08 04:57 AM
The real estate business has never had more opportunities. Prices are low. Interest rates are low. Inventory in almost every part of the US has property that provides an opportunity. These days look like the days in the 1980s and 1990s that were the trough of the next wave of investing. The crash in the 80s came from government changing the tax code relative to investment properties. The changes in the 90s came partly from people cashing out of the stock market and driving up real estate prices with their cash profits. And the real estate market today is recovering from … (5 comments)
good real estate market: Does your brain see the good or the bad?
- 12/05/08 03:17 AM
The other night my wife watched part of a television special on the brain. She said they had the viewer do a fascinating experiment while watching the show. The TV screen was full of small, active, blue dots. Then three larger stationary yellow dots were placed in the center of the screen forming a triangle. The viewer was told to focus their attention on the center of the triangle and on the blue moving dots. Within a very short period of time the yellow dots started to randomly blink and disappear. However, when she shifted her focus off the moving blue … (6 comments)
good real estate market: New York has good reasons to look for real estate besides having a large population!
- 07/26/08 04:23 PM
In reference to the Top Ten States Searched report that REindex.com just placed on its website: NY - There are market areas of strength apart from the weight of NYC population that are the reason for so many people searching for NY real estate. In an area that supports 2 teams for football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and who knows what else, there are just a lot of people that consider the NYC area the place to be. Then there is the rest of NY. Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Syracuse, and Lawng-Eyelan, all operate on the outskits of a place where million dollar … (2 comments)
