Earlier today I had an email issue which caused me to have to go out to my server. By accident when deleting something I marked it as spam, which I did NOT want to do, so I went to move it back out of the spam folder and into the deleted folder. BUT when I was in my spam folder I saw a newsletter from an agent in my market. Being the curious type, I wanted to see it.
bahahahaha.
This is a spipped screen shot January's prices were NOT higher in our local market than January 2014. And for the love of Pete at 29 months worth of inventory in our market I certainly don't think the words "remain low" should be anywhere in a newsletter emailed in this market. I mean seriously there is almost two and half years worth of inventory in our market. And NOWHERE on said newsletter does it say where that market update data for the March update was pulled.
So when I got to the part of the newsletter that said Real Expert. Real Neighbor. Real Estate. I just thought, ummm, NOT!
If you read my Market updates, they are local data pulled from the local MLS. Real estate data should be LOCAL LOCAL LOCAL if you are sending it out to consumers unless you are specifically telling them if it's state data, local data, national data and stating the source of the information.
I'm sitting here thinking about all the people in my market who got that newletter and think we have low inventory. We don't. And if you want to sell your house when a market is saturated with inventory then you have to list at a price that comps support and have aggressive marketing. Interested in selling? Give Lane Realty a call!
