In todays market there are so many homes for sale. Our market currently has 21,514 properties actively listed for sale. Over the past 7 days there have been 170 properties sold, 633 new listings and 751 properties with a price change.
As the market began to slow one of the things I learned was to change some of the speech I used. Instead of saying "price reduced", I changed it to "price improved". While it may not seem like much, when talking with a buyer it can mean a whole lot.
Here is a definition of reduced: "To bring down, as in extent, amount, size, rank or degree; diminish. Diminish? Bring Down Size? Lower Rank? These are not ideas I want my buyers or sellers to think of when I mention price reduction.
Instead try saying price improvement...by saying this buyers and sellers are thinking these types of things: "bringing to a more deisrable condition, making more profitable, increasing the value of, and all around making the home better."

Jeremy,
Subtleties like this are important in marketing...not that we are trying to 'fool' the consumer, but trying to express as clearly in words what our language will permit!!! Thanks, Fran
