Hello Everyone,

 Well the seasons are changing and that is also true in Real Estate. Here in Spokane Washington as with the rest of the nation people are starting to feel the cold breeze of change in the real estate market. The sunny days of asking for discounts or trying to sell for sale by owner are over and the cold nights wondering if it ieven going to sell at any price even with a Realtor are here.

What has changed is that with the level of competition the agent you choose now makes a huge difference. If you can't find someone to make your home stand out among the masses then you will be spinning your wheels. I just flat out tell people now if they do ask about discounts that they will be luck if they can get it sold at all let alone with extra savings.

The agents who can still get homes sold in this market do not need to discount. They have a commodity that is rare and worth more money. They should charge extra. People didn't believe me 6 months ago, but are starting to wake up and realize things have changed and they either need to adapt of give up on selling their home.

My approach has gotten a little more straight to the point with people because they need to wake up and stop wasting time with things that are unlikely to work. The smell of winter is here but the best agents will still help you get your home sold, but pay them, and pay them well because they are more and more rare in a market of unsold homes.
