sellers: No Urgency on the Part of our Buyers Char and Jim Koch Strongsville Real Estate - 10/27/08 01:04 PM
Dear Sellers,
I know you think you are aware of the increasing inventory on the market.  And you may even know that a buyer's market means that there could be between 8-10 months of inventory currently listed.  You may even have a Realtor who is keeping you informed of what houses ( listing comps and sold comps) are currently on the market and which ones have recently sold or gone into pending so you can take a good look at what those homes are offering above and beyond your home.
You may have cleaned, decluttered, painted and neutralized your home so … (0 comments)

sellers: Thought for the Day for Sellers, Strongsville Real Estate - 09/25/08 10:21 AM
If you are committed to the sale of your home, do you have a plan B? 
The market value of your home is determined by the MARKET, meaning it is determined by what someone is willing to pay for your property based on your home's condition and how it compares to the competition in the market.
If you have to sell, what is your plan B.  Lower your price and sell,offer your home for lease.
If you don't have to sell, do you plan to take your home off the market and wait for another time when you can compete in the … (1 comments)

sellers: Not sure what your looking for? - 09/21/08 10:22 AM
Although the Internet is a great tool for searching for homes in your price range, Open houses are still one of the easiest ways to get out there and view properties.  Of course as Realtors we would prefer you call us to make appointments to preview properties, but many buyers aren't ready to commit to a Realtor until they have met a few, and a good way to interview a Realtor is meeting them at an Open House. 
As a buyer, you don't have to spend the entire day viewing homes, two or three each Sunday or Saturday can really help you … (0 comments)

sellers: Tough times for Sellers Strongsville Real Estate - 09/16/08 03:12 PM
Sad to say, most sellers today are either in disbelief or denial that their homes can not sell at fair market value  or  for the values that have been set by their county auditors ( or their own misconception of what is happening in today's market).
The selles who bought their homes 2 or 3 years ago are finding that those pricesare today's prices or in some cases HIGHER than today's prices. Sellers are still in shock when they see a seller's net sheet and find out  they will have to either bring money to the table in order to close their deal  because … (1 comments)

sellers: Counting my blessings! - 04/01/08 09:58 PM
We have seen a slight ( and I mean slight!) surge in our buyers.  Some properties are moving at a little bit better pace than we saw last fall.  But overall, we have not seen the offers or contracts we had hoped for our sellers.  It's still pretty stiff out there!  Never would I have believed that any of my listings might not appraise for the low price we accepted.  AND for me that's still the struggle in this market.  It's still a buyer's market but because of the quality of buyers, I'm not sure it makes our job any easier. … (0 comments)

sellers: Remember when your buyers just loved the home they offered on? - 02/06/08 10:03 AM
Geez!  What a trip getting an offer these days!  There is no sense of urgency in writing or countering.  Buyers write low offers and inch themselves up or walk away.  It takes days to get a counter and no body wants to put anything in writing ( probably so they are free to go bid on another home while they wait for your seller to mull over this low offer, afraid that it may be along time until they get another one!) .  I haven't seen too many buyers these days that you actually got the feeling that they absolutely LOVE … (5 comments)
