The day of Over Pricing your home is OVER

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

The amount of homes currently For Sale in our area just doubled in our Local Manchester NH Real Estate Market. All Spring and into early summer we averaged about 24 homes for sale. This week we hit 48 homes currently For sale right now.

 

In addition, the other major change is that there is NO more Covid Buyers. They have come, purchased and already settled in. The days of offers of $30,000 over asking price, $50,000 over asking and even $100,000 over asking price are over. Our new listings are selling quickly at full price though.

 

BEFORE ANYONE HITS THE PANIC BUTTON when you hear that over all the total sales is down due to that earlier lack of listings to sell. The good news is that Interest rates have began to head down again with market trends. It also means that LOCAL BUYERS now have a chance to get their offers accepted. New listings are picking up. Sales are steady and quick.   

 

The market s still very busy for us here at the Godzyk Real Estate Services. The largest factor i am seeing, is that before local buyers can buy, they need to sell their current home. That means even more listings coming on the market. Our market is strong. With the economy roaring here in NH, i am starting to see an influx of people coming for our great high paying jobs. 

 

 

 

THE MORAL OF THE STORY is that in the end, the most important thing in Real Estate for me is provide GREAT SERVICE. I want to stand out from the crowd. My philosophy is simple. To provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the selling and buying process.

 

All agents are not created equal and every consumer should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest agent. Let me show you there is a difference. Please Support locally owned and operated business.

Some people still forget that prices are always based on a market expectation of what the price will be

As covid cases are on the rise again, maybe the next wave of 50,000 over ask is just around the corner.

Great news for your area, Scott. 

"With the economy roaring here in NH, I am starting to see an influx of people coming for our great high-paying jobs."

That is NOT the case in my H-Hole state of California .. I imagine many of the $50-$100K over asking buyers may have been former CA homeowners/residents.

COVID buyers? Can you elaborate on that?

Our market is steady, there has been ever so slight an increase in inventory. Whatever our respective markets are doing, we have to keep pace and adjust as needed.
