Mid-year Analysis of the Business

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate - 720-231-6373 DRE# ER40011786

 

I like to look at my sales for the year every year about this time of year and analyze where my business is coming from.

 

With Denver's real estate market being ON FIRE for the last six years, it has been tough on buyers finding the right home in some cases.   Some have given up, and renewed their lease, which is so hard to swallow!

 

Sellers have decided to cash out with lots of equity and move to another location selling for less, and most paid cash for their homes in other states.    

 

.063% was from a divorce 

.312% were from Sellers moving out of State, or out of the country

.375% were investors selling/buying investment properties 

.1875% were repeat clients

.063% was a first time buyer

 

Plus, interestingly, over 30% were paid with CASH versus obtaining a loan.

 

Business has been good this year, but a bit down from last year, so wondering if our crazy market is starting to cool off, or if it is just the normal seasonal slowing this summer.   We shall see once Labor Day passes.  The market usually picks back up right after this Holiday, but still not as frenzied as earlier in the year.

I think about 30% of my sales were cash transactions as well. I also get a lot of successtor trustee sales in Sacramento.

The cash always amazes me, Joan. I haven't seen but one cash transaction in years... and it hasn't even happened yet... we close on August 3rd.

Hi Joan- you're smart to look at your mid-year metrics!!!   Even though I'm not an agent I like seeing what's going on around the country.

Those are very interesting statistics that you quote Joan. I think it is good to look at where our business comes from and what financing, if any, they take to buy a home...

Elizabeth, I think the most surprising was seeing how many of my past clients wanted to sell their rental properties this year!
