Thing are selling!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Integrity - Team Leader

I have finally come to terms that watching the news isn't as beneficial as it used to be.  The media continues to be overly negative with the current real estate economy.  With the booming market from 2000-2005, of course were no where near those levels.  However, all things considered, we are still towards the top of all time highs. 

The past couple of days I've been showing homes in Elk River, Rogers, and Maple Grove, MN.  I'm starting to enjoy a non-confirmation, let me explain! Nearly 30% of the showings have been denied because the properties have sold.  THINGS ARE SELLING!  There are still buyers, still motivated sellers, and situations in which people have to move, why are so many focusing on what is bad.  Go out there and give people the truth.  There hasn't been a better time to buy within the past thirty years, low rates and high inventory!  Lets get out there and sell!

Jake, great post. Things are alive and well here in Central New Jersey. All of my listings are selling quickly and I am seeing multiple offers on both my listings and homes that I am showing.

It is still slow here depending on the listing.  I did sell one the first day listed but it was actually at market price.

Hi Jake,  We have noticed a marked increase in the number of open house attendees, equests for showing, etc.  Lets hope this is the signal of a return to a more normal market !  Good selling to you.

That is what it comes down to, correct pricing reaches smart and motivated buyers!

Jake, as you and I discussed, the local media is dampening the true message that this is a terrific time to buy.  Good post, my friend.
