Home owners, why are you selling in this market? Please answer these questions.

In this viral market, why have you chosen to list your home for sale?

Answer these few questions and read my remarks - it's important for you as the seller to understand the market.

1. Are you selling just because you want to move elsewhere/relocate?

2. Are you (or your children) selling as an estate sale? There are alternatives.

3. Are you behind on your mortgage? I can help you.

4. Are you in a short sale, foreclosure situation?

I can help you in Broward, Miami, and Palm Beach County.

Please tell me your story...you can email me if you would rather at Karen.Monsour@Floridamoves.com.

or you can call me at 954-464-4194.

Anecdotally, in southwest Broward, the only people selling are those in distress, foreclosures. If a regular seller has actually listed their home, I suspect there's a hidden financial hardship--not to the point of short selling, but an urgency just the same. No one seems to be selling just because they want to move.

We had a Regional Sales Meeting today and our Title Company reported that 46% of their sales are short sales. If you don't have to sell, it's not the best time.

Dalia,

You are so right...south WEST Florida is in distress and the deals are out there...if you want to live WEST... most of my buyers are looking for distressed properties on the beach...they are just not there.

:-) Thanks for your comments.

Matt,

I know, it's sad. I tell my customers to go back to the bank and try to negotiate a more reasonable rate...it's sad Matt...
