Do National Headlines Reflect Our Local Real Estate Market?

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Fox & Roach, Realtors

You know, Gil and I get this question really frequently; so do the folks at Keeping Current Matters. And we totally agree with their take on the situation. Local real estate professionals (like The Marchany Home Selling Team!) know that the best information for both buyers and sellers is, without question, local market data. That being said, everyone has to acknowledge the fact that happenings in the national real estate market dodramatically impact regional and local markets.

Buyers here in central New Jersey – and all over the country – are concerned about the reports of distressed properties that are coming onto the market, and what impact they will have on house values. The really critical thing to remember is this: if overall consumer confidence is shaken, every market in the country is impacted.

This is why we believe it's critically important that you work with a real estate professional who completely understands each of the following things:

  1. What the national headlines are saying, and why they are saying it

  2. What effect the issue may or MAY NOT have here on our local market

  3. How to simply and effectively explain both of the above to you

But perhaps even more important than their understanding of those two points is this: Can they clearly explain both of them to you in a way that makes it applicable to your situation?

We know that agents who ignore national headlines are doing a disservice to both themselves and their clients. If they use the headlines to frighten and unduly influence their clients, they're engaged in unethical behavior.

The Marchany Team takes time to stay up-to-date on all national real estate issues, and we're as clear as can be in explaining how these issues will impact you right here in central New Jersey.

We often repeat the "real estate is local" mantra.....the media can have people believing otherwise.
