Tupper's Marketing Campaign

Tupper Briggs (Re/Max Alliance Evergreen) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:22:46 -0600

Tupper recently attended the CyberStar Summit in Scottsdale, AZ sharing and learning about others newfound skills and resources to improve the service they offer to clients back in their hometowns. While at the Summit, Tupper sat down with Michael Krisa, a well-known real estate interviewer, to talk about the unique Tupper's Team marketing campaign. The "Evergreen Style" campaign has been an absolute success. Not only is it well recieved by the public, it is fun!

Perfect Storm

Tupper Briggs (Re/Max Alliance Evergreen) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:48:34 -0600

We're in a 'perfect storm' where the seasonal and economic cycles are coincidentally at low points, so the market is understandably quiet. Our real estate market usually reawakens in January and slowly builds to a crescendo in August. The wild card this year, of course, is whether the economic cycle will cooperate with some signs of turning around during the first half of 2009.

Let me assure you that we've never had a buyer come into our office and say "I want to steal a home". Nor have we had a buyer say "I want to bail someone out by paying too much for their home, just to help them out". The truth is that buyers just want the best house for the money--fair value.

We'll keep you posted on the market as the new year unfolds and we encourage your call or email if you have specific questions we might help with.

Here's the latest article from an economist I follow regarding the economy.

We wish you and your family our best wishes for a warm and happy holiday season.

The Pros & Cons of Selling During the Holidays

Tupper Briggs (Re/Max Alliance Evergreen) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:38:12 -0600

With all the other things on people's minds between now and New Year's eve, you may be wondering if now is a good time to be on the market. Not only are potential buyers busy with holiday parties and events, but your own sanity will surely be strained by trying to perpare for showings in the midst of seasonal obligations. Should you decorate your home for the holidays? Or should you leave it generic and forego some of the fun in favor of marketing priorities?

Your home is definitely not going to sell if it's off the market. Since many sellers call it quits during the holidays, there is less competition if you stay on the market. And buyers who go to the trouble to look for a home at this time of year are generally serious and not just 'looky-lou's'.

It's your choice. If you are in no rush to sell and want to take a break, you can take this time to freshen, de-clutter and make small repairs so you can reintroduce your home with a splash after the holidays. Also, if your home has been on the market for some time and you take it out of the MLS for at least 31 days, the 'days on market' counter resets to zero, thereby removing a potential stigma.

If you do remain on the market, make sure your home is priced realistically and shows well--with or without decorations. If you'd like more tips on selling over the holidays, please call.

Road Map to Real Estate Recovery

Tupper Briggs (Re/Max Alliance Evergreen) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:58:45 -0600

Anyone who has driven in an unfamiliar area without directions knows what it feels like to be lost. People are facing that same sense of panic today because they find themselves in unfamiliar economic territory. A handful of people vaguely remember being on this road before, but it was so long ago they've forgotten how to get through.

All real estate markets will follow the same road to recovery. However, not all markets will recover at the same speed because some markets spun out of control more than others. In Florida, for example, buyers-turned-speculators drove prices up to foolish levels and those irrational prices will now inevitably fall to irrationally low levels before that market corrects. Greed drove the prices up; fear will drive them down.

In Colorado, on the other hand, buying activity was never as out of control, so our prices may soften but not plummet like Florida's. Same road, different speed.

Everyone wants to know when our market will recover. That's like asking when a broken leg will heal. Technically, the healing begins right after the trauma happens. The break will heal faster if the bone is set correctly, but the setting process can temporarily add to an already painful event.

Likewise, our real estate market began healing as soon as the national bubble burst. Resisting the pain of setting prices correctly today only prolongs healing. Full recovery cannot happen until buyer confidence returns. However, that confidence hinges on prices falling to a point where fearful buyers feel comfortable about the value they receive for the price they pay. In the short term, many buyers will focus on price; they will sit on the sidelines if they can't get a spectacularly good price.

A few submarkets, like bank-owned properties and (some, not all) short-sales are already priced well below rational value. But they usually require additional investment and/or elbow grease after sale to bring them up to comparable condition to ‘ordinary' properties-proving the old adage that you get what you pay for. Until foreclosures and distress sales are wrung out of the market and buyers see beyond the frenzy of price-slashing and again consider value in what they buy, our market will remain in the healing process.

There is only one road to recovery and all market segments will fully recover. In the meantime, sellers who want to sell in this environment will need to "speed up" by driving their asking prices lower to appeal to price-conscious buyers. Ultimately, buyers will come to realize that there some very attractive values available without having to beat sellers down to foreclosure prices. At that point, confidence and order will be restored.
