real estate: Knowing When to Do a Price Reduction
- 11/03/15 08:15 AM
As a home seller, you want to net the highest possible price for your property. However, as the real estate market is constantly fluctuating, it may mean that the ideal listing price changes. Occasionally, by reducing the listing price, sellers can ensure that their property is comparably priced against similar homes to be in front of the largest pool of poten-tial buyers. This helps ensure consistent showings and can encourage multiple offers to bring a higher sale price than would be otherwise gained without a price reduction.
So, how do home sellers know when it is time to consider reducing the price? … (2 comments)
The months of inventory (MOI) for the Portland Metro markets, including Washington, Multnomah and Yamhill County, have remained relatively steady through August and September as the summer rush of home sales has remained steady through both months. However, the increased MOI in September for homes priced between $1,000,000 and $1,999,999 is representative of reduced buyers in this price range. Typically, through the fall and winter, we forecast an increased MOI across all price ranges as many home buyers postpone moving between school years and the holiday season. Homes priced at $299,999 and below … (0 comments)

real estate: 10 Things That Help Homes Sell Quickly in the Spring Rush!
- 03/26/15 03:39 AM
The spring housing rush is here in Oregon! Some of the homes listed with The Kelly Group aren’t even on the market for a week now before going pending! However, some properties take a bit longer to find the right buyer. Why? Well, every listing broker can give you a list of what he/she has found helpful for getting homes to sell, especially those homes that haven’t been getting all the showings. If you compared all those listing brokers’ lists side by side, they would have an awful lot in common! That’s because, truth be told, there are only about 10 … (4 comments)
real estate: What Is Your 2015 GOGAN?
- 12/31/14 05:53 AM
I am a big fan of business slogans! A good slogan can reinforce goals, highlight key concepts of a business plan, or showcase your business’s best features to the public. My one problem with slogans is the word itself; it implies slow and I am a go, go, go kind of person! So for 2015, I decided to come up with a business Go-gan! This year, The Kelly Group gogan is “If it is to be, it is up to we!”
I came up with this gogan to really highlight the team effort in my office that has always … (4 comments)

real estate: Open Houses in a Slumping Market
- 12/16/14 07:07 AM
If you’ve read the recent news on the real estate market, then you already know that there is a potential lag coming in the housing market. As interests rates are expected to rise next year, now is the time to get your listings sold to get the best value for your sellers. As there will likely be fewer buyers through the winter with plenty of listings available, buyers can be more discriminating in their search for the best buy to meet their needs. One potential way to snatch up limited buyers for your listings may be to return to the old … (4 comments)

real estate: Should You Tell Your Clients to Remove the Holiday Décor?
- 12/08/14 09:31 AM
The same issue comes up every year around this time. Sellers will call me and asks if we should take their home off the market for the holidays. Why? Because they want to celebrate a religious holiday, to decorate their home and enjoy the season. And I know many brokers would give advice not to decorate for religious holidays as this may put off potential buyers. Some even recommend not listing through the holidays as there are less buyers and it can be much harder to schedule showings when sellers have guests visiting.
However, the smaller pool of buyers … (39 comments)
real estate: Giving Back to the Community – Kelly Land Style
- 12/04/14 07:25 AM
In the 14 plus years that I have been an agent in Newberg, OR, I have always held my annual Christmas event, Kelly Land.
