According to TREND, the tri-state MLS system, the pendulum swing from the buyer's to the seller's is showing a more concrete and less subtle shift.

A slight and expected dip in November's average was $195,266 reflecting 133 homes being sold, but then December, the historically lower month of home sales, rebounded to an average sales price of $210,663, even though only 74 homes sold. This end-of-year sales from the quarter's beginning, shows a 7 percent sales … (2 comments)

keller williams realty central de: Why Being a For Sale by Owner May Not be in Your Best Interest
- 12/21/09 03:46 AM
1. Saving the Commission. Often times the principal reason homeowners make is that they can save the commission by selling their own home by themselves. Experience proves this is not usually the case. Buyers today are very savvy. They feel, whether it is true in particular instances or not, that owners overprice their homes and what the owner expects to get for their home is inflated by the amount of the commission in order to cover the cost of advertising and other expenses required in the sale of their home.2. Qualifying Inexperience. The owner, unless a former REALTOR, has had neither … (4 comments)

23. The Settlement Problem. Once a contract is signed by the seller and buyer, a complicated and highly detailed process starts which leads to the settlement when the owner gets his payment for his home and the new owner takes possession of the home. The process involves loan processing, in which 'snags' or more serious complicationis arise; the legal aspects of title and deeds, overcoming possible easement situations, rights of way, and dozen of other factors involved in the final transfer of the property. These and other matters must be coordinated on a time schedule that will ensure completion of various steps in … (0 comments)

21. Lack of Future Interest. Many buyers often feel the owner has no future interest in them once the sale is complete, whereas the Realtor does. The owner sells, moves away, and no local or personal contact information is provided in the event a future problem arises that was not evident at the time of the purchase. The buyer knows the Realtor has future interest in them as a satisfied client, as a source of referrals, and in the event the buyer then needs to sell themselves and has to move in the future. The propsective buyer accepts far more readily … (0 comments)

19. Any Strangers have Access toYour Home. The For Sale by Owner sign in the yard is an invitation to anyone to ask to see your home. While such occurrences may be infrequent, it has happened, and can happen, that undesireable strangers gain access to your home. There also have been instances when thieves have posed as prospective buyers to learn what might be of value in your home which they can steal when no one is home. If the sign is posted only when you are home and then removed in your absence, this means prospects may drive past your home and not … (0 comments)

17. Underpricing Danger. Owners are not familiar with the often rapidly changing market conditions, and the characteristics of supply and demand for a particular type of home, in specific locations, as is the experienced Realtor. As a result of lack of knowledge, owners often under-price their home, and by the time all "cost saving" expenses are paid, considerably less is netted than if the sale were handled through a broker. 18. Not a Home Problem. Rarely can the homeowner be at home virtually all of the time to receive visitors. When the prospective buyer finds nobody home they often go on to look at other … (0 comments)

15. Buyer's Reluctance on Inspection Details. Related to the home showing are several details which may not seem at first to be of great importance, but often are. Many buyers when they are going through a home with an owner, are reluctant, or will not, open cupboards, closets, medicine cabinets, etc., because they feel this would be an intrusion on the owner's privacy. This feeling does not exist with the Realtor. Additionally, buyers are most likely not going to make comments about the home or question the seller out of fear of putting the home owner on the defensive. A Realtor … (0 comments)

13. Owner Expense. The owner may incur considerable expense in succeeding in selling their home at a somewhat reduced price. Such expenses can include newspaper adversting, cost of internet advertising, staging costs, home advertisement such as signs and brochures, legal fees, etc. When the amount of the price reduction and the expenses are added up, the owner has netted little if anything over what they would have received from a broker sale. When the seller fails to make a sale, these costs are pure costs and do not get recouped. The broker on the other hand, as part of their services, assumes all expenses for advertisement. … (1 comments)

11. Lack of Follow-up System. Homes are frequently sold on the second or subsequent visits which have been brought about by a REALTOR. The broker has a follow-up system on all prospects that haven't yet purchased a home. Usually the broker's representative accompanies prospects on inspections of other homes and when the situation is logical, brings the prospect back to homes they have previously toured for comparison. The owner can take none of these steps with only one home (their own) to sell. Often, visitors to a For Sale by Owner open house, will not provide their contact information, not even their … (0 comments)

9. Lack of Prospect Sources. It is a trusim in real estate selling that the more exposure a home has to qualified buyers, the more likely there will be a quicker and more favorable sale. Most sellers are limited in their sources for propsects, friends and neighbors, organization bulletin boards, and some owner advertising. On the other hand, the professional broker has a large and constantly renewing flow of prospects from which to pre-select qualified buyers for the owner's home. 10. Lack of Advertising Exposure. The owner is advertising one home; their own. The broker on the other hand is adversting … (3 comments)

7. The Urgency of the Situation. When the time in which a home must be sold is limited, it is very unwise for an owner to take any of that time to try and sell their home themselves. When they fail, which is often the case, a broker finally selected often times does not have enough time to market the home properly to get it sold (depending on the market) before the owner moves out to leave the home vacant. A vacant home, even when redecorated, usually is more difficult to sell than one being lived in. 8. Problems with Financing. … (0 comments)

5. Prospects Hidden Objections. Prospects often find it reluctant to bring out and discuss objections with the owner because of the personal element involved. They do not want to put the seller in the position of defending their own home. Thus, and owner can't represent themself properly with many prospects because the owner does not know the prospect has unrevealed objections. 6. Inexperience in Handling Objections. Techniques for handling objections professionally and effectively are the most difficult of all techniques to master in selling. Almost never does a homeowner have any such training or experience. Thus, when major objections are raised, … (1 comments)
