homes: Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for July 2010 - 08/16/10 05:35 AM
Below is the Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for July 2010.  What is significant about this month's report has that the inventory is decreased slightly, but the number of homes going under contract has remained relatively unchanged.  Fewer homes actually closed in the month of July.  I suspect many homes going under contract are having a hard time getting to the closing table.  My guess would be this is a reflection on the ability to obtain financing.

homes: Why Your Listing Agent Wants You Out Of The House At Showings! - 08/06/10 03:24 AM
 
This happens so often.  Truth be known, the buyers don't want the sellers to be home when they look.  It makes the buyers uncomfortable, they tend to spend less time, and they are too distracted by the presence of the seller to really absorb the home.  Buyers need to be able to envision themselves living in the home, not feel as if they are trespassing on someone else's property.
And then there's the information the sellers ALWAYS inadvertently give.  Most sellers don't realize how damaging even the most innocent comment can be.  In their haste to sell the property, they … (8 comments)

Lisa really hits the nail on the head with this one.  I admit that I love Zillow for the exposure that it provides to my listings, but haven't found one "Zestimate" to be accurate yet.  If you want to know the TRUE value of a home for sale in Springfield, MO, only a local REALTOR® can give you an accurate value....not some computer in "who knows where."

homes: Tornados and Walkout Basement Homes in Springfield, MO - 07/11/10 06:15 PM
I work with a lot of buyers from out of state.  A large percentage of them ask for a home with a walkout basement.  It is obvious that many of these buyers do not need the basement for the space.  They are wanting shelter from tornados.
I recently worked with some buyers who had a basement home as their #1 criteria.  Several months into the process, it was obvious that the only homes we were going to find that fit all of their other criteria were not going to have basements.  We finally found one home that both husband and … (12 comments)

Below is the Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for June 2010.  What is significant about this month's report is that, while the number of homes "under contract" and "sold" have stayed fairly consistent with May's number, the number of "active" listings has increased, providing a larger inventory.

Below is the Rogersville MO Real Estate Market Report for May 2010.  I had to check my data a couple of times just to be sure I was seeing this right.  This is a wonderful community that offers great access to Springfield, has an excellent school system, but you can see the that the housing market is barely moving in this community right now.  Such a shame considering the high-quality homes on the market there.

homes: 10 Reasons Why Your Home Did Not Sell - 09/03/09 12:40 AM
 
I thought I'd share this blog I found written by Michael Johnson.  It's right on point no matter what area you're in.
 
As most everyone knows, today's real estate market is a buyer's market.  This means that the number of homes for sale in a given area outweigh the number of ready, able, and willing buyers in that same market.  Although we've been in a buyer's market for about 2 years many sellers have yet to adjust their mindset and expectations to reflect this change in the market.  These same people are upset when after 6 months their home is … (4 comments)
