That is the saying we have heard so many times......
I have such a habit of cleaning my home, my desk, my car, my files, etc.....all for the goal of organizing my life between Christmas and New Years. It's my MENTAL way of getting my brain in order.
The same holds true for my current listings.
I noticed that the "expired" listings on our MLS database is up and our inventory is down. I know that is a normal thing for the end of the year.
I have new listings that have gone into the MLS this week, with more after January 1. But I also have listings that have decided to take their homes off the market. They don't see the market improving and have lost the motivation to move.
As Realtors, we work so very hard for our clients - using all our marketing tools, pricing stategies yet still have no "results" for our selling clients.
I hate having a listing expire. Every listing has a different story. Different needs of the sellers, different motivation of the sellers. Life changes for my clients and I understand their needs. Some now have decided not to sell at all.
If you too get discouraged that your clients goals were not met.......keep the faith! Keep up your hard work! The market WILL move.
So if you have expiring listings that won't renew in this down market......just keep in touch with those clients. You are their professional agent.
So OUT WITH THE OLD
and IN with THE NEW!
Let's all Plan for A Prosperous 2009. For you AND your Clients!
