With the arrival of FALL -Is it GOOD or BAD for the Real Estate Market

Will the arrival of FALL bring a boost or put to bed the Real Estate Market for 2015? It may depend what area or region you are in. Here in New Hampshire, the arrival Fall usually brings a boost in sales. Home Buyers looking to move before winter and re-locations to our area are the biggest groups of buyers. For Home Sellers they find less homes on the market which can mean less competition than a spring market. We have seen an upswing in seniors looking to sell their homes and head South and beat the arrival of winter.

 

The BOTTOM LINE is ANYTIME can be a great time to buy or sell a home you are ready. We do now that right now is the lowest the interest rates may be for perhaps the next decade. Soon they will rise and that is inspiring buyers to buy now. When buyer are ready, seller should get ready. 

 

The BEST way to go about any home sale or purchase is to know that the consumer should not choose just any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home

The hard truth is that Buying or Selling a home can go as good as the agent you hire. 

 

If you are Buying or Selling a home, you need an agent who will work with you, look out for you and guide you through each step of the Buying and Selling process. Buyers and Sellers should know that they have a choice of agents. Use your choice to hire the BEST agent in your area, and know that bigger is not better. 

 

I have put together a simple recipe for both Home Buyers and Sellers. Follow this along with pricing your home right, and the result can be a SOLD SIGN in your front yard.

 

 

THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT

 

 1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.   

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.  

 3. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY:  Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.   

4. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.   

 

 

IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.

 

 

It does not take magic to turn your "For Sale" sign into a "Sold" sign. it takes a full time Local Agent who specializes in Listing homes like yours.

Scott, I look at it as a wonderful break between steamy humid weather of July and August and the snow and ice of January and February.  It's my favorite season for selling.

Hi Scott -- in my area, the transition in seasons has a lot less to do with any changes in real estate but I do find many in our field begin to slow down as we enter the fourth quarter.  And that's fine by me ---- my practice continues....

Hi Scott - We traditionally have a moderately busy fall that runs through November, and things go slower until late February. But you're right that anytime is a good time to sell if you have the right agent.

I agree ... anytime (in my market) is a good time to buy or sell. I know that is not the case in areas that get a lot of snow.

I think fall is the second spring.  One thing is for certain...any buyer looking for a property outside of spring is generally more serious.  A lot of tire kickers come out in spring.

Scott- it's a bit different here.  Our snowbirds will return as will many visitors to the area.  No fall leaves though.

In my area it is a great time to buy a house. We sell houses all year long and fall is beautiful weather to look for a new home.

Ya Scott Godzyk we like the Fall just south of you too. The summer doldrums are over and we usually have  good pickup in activity.

You know I'm sure it varies from market to market, but we traditionally have a very strong fall market.

Mine too Michael Jacobs , i have seen a rush this week in new buyers, perhaps fall and perhaps the interest rate scare.

Dick Greenberg I sure hope to get the message out to home owners. We too can see a slow down Dec through February but it depends on how cold or how much snow we get, a warm winter can keep things busy

Kathleen Daniels snow can sure slow down showings and sales but it leads to a "pent up" demand that when the weather breaks, we get a mad rush

Chris Ann Cleland I agree and often say that, in fall people are ready and able where sprong brings alot of dreamers out that are not sur ethey can buy and many of which have some work to do on their credit or yet to start saving for a down payment,

Kathy Streib many of my Florida friends in the business love the business the snow birds bring but the others just complain about their driving. The leaves are just starting to turn in the rural areas.
