During 2010, there were 25,119 sales closed and posted in WFRMLS (Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service - Utah). There are currently 8,194 active agents.

This is an especially important question because there is and has been no room for error in pricing and negotiation, advertising and marketing, during this continuing housing crisis.

statistics: A Marketing Strategy That Works ... Step 3 "Target Realtors® Working with Ready, Willing and Able Buyers" - 01/21/09 11:30 AM
Step 1 ... "Admit that it is a Buyer's Market" Step 2 ... "Price your Home to Sell and Plan on Negotiating" Step 3 ... "Target Realtors® Working with Ready, Willing and Able Buyers" The MLS remarks section is ground zero for distinguishing my client's homes from the hundreds of others on the market. Trite descriptions are ineffective and puffery is simply annoying to other agents when it is in the MLS. This is the place where I have the opportunity to tell other agents why my client's home should "make the cut" when they are screening houses to show their

statistics: A Marketing Strategy That Works ... Step 2 "Price your Home to Sell and Plan on Negotiating" - 01/21/09 11:21 AM
Step 1 ... "Admit that it is a Buyer's Market" Step 2 ... "Price your Home to Sell and Plan on Negotiating" Price your home to sell ... When I prepare my pre-listing market evaluation for my clients, I assess the "current" market value using the following criteria: 1. I use sold comparables no older than 90 days, the more recent the better, and then adjust for the appreciation/depreciation rate for the most recent quarterly statistics for the community. Since distressed sales (short sales and foreclosures) are so prevelent right now, I incorporate these comparables according to their percentage of the market.

statistics: A Marketing Strategy That Works ... Step 1 "Admit That It Is A Buyer's Market" - 01/21/09 11:15 AM
I have spent a great deal of time analyzing what is happening in our local real estate market. Here is a summary of my research based on MLS data, discussions with other agents and the feedback I've received from my own buyer clientele. 1. Buyers absolutely will NOT buy a home right now unless the BUYER feels that it is an UNBELIEVABLY PHENOMENAL "deal". 2. Buyers EXPECT sellers to pay their closing costs which are calculated at 3% of the purchase price. 3. Buyers will WALK AWAY from any seller counteroffers that in any way indicate that the seller is trying
