If You Can't Stand The Heat Get Out Of The Kitchen. "REALTORS" If you can't stand the market get out of the business.

Obviously, Sellers in Elkhart County say the price is usually the most important element, but there are other factors that make an offer more - or less - attractive. For instance, one obstacle is a "contingency," a clause that allows a Buyer to back out if certain conditions aren't met. Of … (2 comments)

If you are trying to sell your home, here are some things to think about that turn home buyers off:
I'm running into this quite frequently, so I'm sure you are too. The scenario: seller's with nicely kept properties, but they are needing to sell because the payments are just too tight. They're making them, but barely. The loan payoff amount, commissions, and closing costs will leave them with nothing at … (4 comments)
Attention sellers, we are currently in a declining market. If you are serious about selling your home then it is critical that your Realtor understands the dynamic between the market trend and your home's value. Let me explain. The longer your home is on the market the lower the market value. … (3 comments)
When we list a home for sale in the Colorado Springs real estate market, one of the most important things that we do is make sure that we price it effectively.
I saw a squirrel chasing a nut across the street yesterday, and somehow it struck me as quite ironic. I've admitted before that I hate squirrels (and yes, hate is a strong word), but I was too amused with the scene to think about putting the pedal to the metal and … (48 comments)
Over the years I have taken the majority of my loan applications face to face. I like to do it this way for several reasons but the most important is "we can both interview each other." The interview is a time to pre-qualify the client and let them pre-qualify you. Is … (2 comments)

This is a home buyers market and it is incredibly challenging for home sellers today. I get calls everyday from desperate home sellers who want to sell their current homes. I got a call from a one such seller today. He bought the property about 4 years ago for $295K, he … (0 comments)
Here is the breakdown on the last 7 years of Outer Banks real estate stats
I would like to share a confusation with you. What's a confusation? It's a mixture of confusion and conversation. I'm all for preserving the English language and avoiding the addition of new and pointless slang terms. But, at the same time, I enjoy having a little bit of fun with ideas … (2 comments)

How many of you have heard nothing but negative comments about Real Estate lately? It seems like you can't get away from it. I wish there was an annual NO-NEGATIVITY day. It would be great to turn on the news and hear about 5 people SURVIVING a bus crash, rather than … (3 comments)
From Buyers, I hear a number of thoughts as to why they "are not ready yet ..." to buy a new home.
I have been trying for six months to get a listing on a house that I think is simply a fantastic home.
Well, not only has the warmer weather brought out the flowers, the birds, the pollen, the termites - but guess what ?? It is bringing out the BUYERS!!! Yep, I saw some the other day - I was in shock - I couldn't remember quite what to do. My family said I … (17 comments)

New Milford, Connecticut Real Estate Update March, 2008
It's still not too "latte" to enroll according to the Collin College Schedule of Continuing Education course offerings for January - April 2008. 
Let me guess...your home has been on the market for months. You had a few open houses and a few showings, but haven't received a single offer. Your getting very frustrated with your Realtor® who keeps telling you to lower the price, but if you do, you'll have less room to negotiate. … (13 comments)

I've been on Active Rain for over a year now, but one of the first bloggers I discovered was Gita Bantwal of Bucks County PA. I first noticed that she and I had all the same designations: ABR, CRS, GRI, SRES, so I checked out her blog.
Sellers, I hate to tell you but there are few things that no buyer is desiring at this point. I'm not trying to offend you, but it's the truth, and if you change them, you are likely to get your home sold sooner and closer to your list price. I know … (0 comments)

Another example that real estate is local - very local. There is a lot of discussion about the housing market being stale and homes are sitting for months if not years. Folks, here in Washington it's not time to panic. Yes, homes are on the market longer than they were a … (0 comments)

The latest numbers from the Sarasota Association of REALTORS indicate that over the last 3 months, sales price has averaged 92-93% of list price. This is in direct contradiction to many buyers idea that Sellers "will sell at any price" to get out of their home, and seems to indicate further a stabilizing … (0 comments)
In my years of selling real estate, and working with buyers, I have never had a client say to me,” find me a house that is in marginal condition.” I have had requests for fixer-uppers and requests for homes in excellent condition, but nothing in between. 
Showing this morning of an older lady's home. As you walk thru the tour, you point out the high points but also see the life of the owner flash before your eyes. There is the picture of their marriage 70 years ago, and her husband is no longer with her. There … (3 comments)

I'm not a real big fan of Open Houses. One of two things usually occur:
How do you like them?Me, not a fan. It allows your seller to not be serious about selling their home and buying the next one. If a client ones to sell their home and buy a new one, we're going to put it on the market.We're not going to buy a … (2 comments)
Short Sales in the real estate market have started to become more prevalent in this topsy turvy market.

A Realtor who talks to you on your level?

Falcon Height, MN Market Update
As long as I have been in Atlanta Real Estate, it's always been a buyer's market. Sure there were some streets and some neighborhoods that had a certain essence that people clamored for, but overall, as a buyer you could always expect concessions of some sort. 
Ever want to get inside the head of a buyer? As a buyers specialist with the rivers team, sometimes I feel like I know exactly what they are thinking.Here's the scenario:We drive up to house A, in the neighborhood they want to live in. The first thing you see when you … (0 comments)
