Are you ready for the SPRING MARKET??????
Those of you that are not Mega Listing Agents should be loading up with buyers. You may ask, how do I do that in this market? Well there are a few ways to go about that. The easiest way is to advertise for buyers not listings. One of the things I do is Ads on free websites such as Craigslist.com and Backpage.com or Ebayclasifieds.com. A general ad for price ranges an bedrooms in a particular town or area work very well. Run different ads for each of the towns you work in, but not on the same day. You also need to update the ads every 5-7 Days to keep it in from of buyers. Another way is to put those same ads in the form of a blog. There many different site to do this on, one being Active Rain.

February 22, 2011 Today's Real Estate Forecast By Joe Monaco Real estate in the news today has been dominated by the insights and findings of the S&P Case -Shiller index of 20 large metropolitan areas across the nation. The Case-Shiller index, a unique and comprehensive analysis of the real estate market, has become a single favorite of most major media sources and companies.
Just as real estate differs from location to location, and is as local and different as the weather forecast from Yorktown to mid-town, so is the spin on the subject matter we get from the media. My review of this most recent Case-Shiller index from various sources ranged from doom and gloom to hope and positive signs of recovery.
The collective data of the S&P Case -Shiller index of 20 large metropolitan areas puts a dark cloud over our nation's real estate market, this most recent report is based on data comparing November to December 2010 pricing. One month, by no means is a trend in real estate, but the negative media and perception of a declining market instills a strong fear in today's real estate buyers.
Real estate is a local market and business. Buyers and sellers need to obtain and understand local data and not be swayed by wide geographic analysis.
The following data clearly illustrates the variances in local and regional markets from Las Vegas to Westchester County, New York.
In Las Vegas, it has been reported prices are down nine percent from last January. Half of all homes sold were cash purchases and a staggering three quarters of a percent were vacant. This market has been mostly driven by investors buying short sales and foreclosures sold by lenders at discount prices.
In the greater Yorktown area of Northern Westchester, our market was flat in unit sales and prices in 2010 from 2009. Unit sales dropped to 459 from 467 and the average sales price declined $1,076. from $417,219 to $416,143. 2010 market performance in Yorktown provides strong promise that the market is stabilizing, a necessary prelude to recovery.
In lower Westchester, the market experienced a rebound in 2010 in both unit sales and prices, propelled by lower property values from the market highs of just a few years ago and proximity to Manhattan. Some locales had a 40% increase in unit sales and a 15% increase in the average sales price in year over year comparisons.
Meanwhile, Westchester County total sales data, year over year, are pointing to a path of recovery. Unit sales were up by 5% and the average selling price increased nearly ten percent to $851,124 from $775,756 in 2009.
As you can see, the market performance is local and can vary significantly as indicated by comparing just Northern Westchester with lower Westchester. Many factors are involved in evaluating market conditions and the value of residential real estate, most specifically and important is local market data.
Although, many political and economic factors are involved in forecasting real estate's future, real jobs, consumer confidence and financing are the factors that influence consumer real estate decisions.
Today, the American dream of homeownership is alive and well in Westchester County. Now's the time to buy, I truly believe it, so much so that I assisted two of my daughters who have purchased homes in the last six to nine months.

PRICE IS THE SAME, IT JUST COST MORE!!!

The Cost of Waiting for Prices to Fall
Posted: 11 Feb 2011 04:00 AM PST

Many purchasers have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for home prices to hit bottom. They want to guarantee that they are purchasing at the best possible price. Like them, we also believe that prices still have some room to fall in most markets. However, we disagree that waiting is a good financial decision. The buyer should not be concerned about housing prices. They should be concerned about cost.
The cost of a house is made up of the price AND THE INTEREST RATE they will be paying. Two different pieces of news released yesterday highlight this point.
PRICES
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) released their 4th quarter housing research report. In the release, they reported that home sales rose 15.4% in the 4th quarter over the 3rd quarter. They also showed that prices remained stable during the year:
The national median existing single-family price was $170,600 in the fourth quarter, up 0.2 percent from $170,300 in the fourth quarter of 2009.
A buyer who delayed a purchase might find solace in the fact that prices have not increased. However, the other news released yesterday paints a different picture.
INTEREST RATES
The Primary Mortgage Market Survey was released by Freddie Mac which showed that the 30 year fixed rate mortgage was at 5.05%. Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist of Freddie Mac said:
"Long-term bond yields jumped on positive economic data reports, which placed upward pressure on mortgage rates this week...As a result, interest rates on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to the highest level since the last week in April 2010."
So prices have remained stable but interest rates have risen dramatically in the last 90 days. What does that mean to a buyer looking to purchase a home this year?
The price is the same. It just costs more.
Let's show you what the news means:

By sitting on the sidelines for the last 90 days a purchaser lost:
- $89.44 a month
- $1,073.28 a year
- $32,198.40 over the thirty year life of the mortgage
If you buy a $340,000 home, double all these numbers.
Bottom Line
Even if prices fall another 10% this year, the cost of a home will increase if interest rates go up more than 1%. Buyers should not worry where prices are going. They should be concerned where costs will be later in the year.
