The Markets

‘April retail sales beat expectationsImage by Getty Imagesvia DaylifeApril retail sales rose 0.4 percent, the government said moments ago, a figure that was twice what forecasters were expecting, a sign that consumers are opening their wallets and spending.Removing auto sales from April retail sales did nothing to impact the number, indicating that new car sales rose at the same pace as other consumer goods. Same thing if you remove the volatile fuel and food costs.March retail sales were revised upward and grew at a rate of 1.2 percent.

The Markets

‘Europe Clouds U.S. RecoveryThe recovery is beating expectations as new data show consumer and manufacturing strength. But worries persist that it still isn't strong enough to heal deep wounds or withstand a new shock from Europe.

• Buffett Says U.S. Housing Will Recover by 2011 on Lower Supply

• March 1 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire Warren Buffett said the U.S. residential real estate slump will end by about 2011, predicting that’s how long it will take demand for homes to catch up with the supply.

• “Within a year or so, residential housing problems should largely be behind us,” Buffett wrote Feb. 27 in his annual letter to shareholders of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc.”

Market Absorption Scale(Absorption Rate in Months)

5-6 months absorption rate indicates a normal market.

Absorption Rate by Price Range

Weichert has been studying market conditions for more than 3 decades and has found a direct correlation between market

absorption and property values.

As absorption rates increase beyond a normal market level of 5-6 months, property

values depreciate annually.

Q. If this were 2005, where would you place the Price and Rate dots?

Prices Rates

High

Mid-Range

Low

A. In 2005, the V would look somewhat like this one, where prices were on the high end of the scale and rates were in the lower range.

Seizing the Opportunity.Seizing the Opportunity.

In recent history, there has never been an opportunity like this, with low prices and low rates. In real estate, this circular area at the bottom of the V is called the “Buying Zone” – it’s an unbelievable time to buy.

The GOAL is to appeal to the broadest range of BUYERS.

The Way You Live In Your Home…

… And The Way We Market And Sell A House Are Two Different

Things.

“The Investment in Home Staging

is Always Less than Your First Price Reduction!”

Buyers Only Know What They See …

… Not The Way It Is Going To Be.

Based on a StagedHomes.com survey of over 400 homes across Canada & the Continental US prepared for sale by an

Accredited Staging Professional (ASP™) from June 2007 through November 2007.

The average increase in sales price of an ASP Staged vs. non-Staged home is

6.9%.That is an additional

$31,050 on a $450,000 sale.

The average marketing

time of an ASP Staged vs. non-Staged home is 80%

less.

What is

‘Pre-Inspection?’

Home Inspection

WHAT DOES PRE-INSPECTION INCLUDE? The standard home inspector's report will review the condition of the home's heating system, central air

conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the

foundation, basement, and visible structure.  

PRE-LISTING Home Inspection

DOESN’T THE BUYER DO THE HOME INSPECTION?

All Negotiations, including real estate, are all about negotiation and control.

Who is in control?

Right Price

Right Staging

All Repairs are done in advance.

Offer a Home Warranty to the buyer..

Home Improvements

I am moving out of the house, I do not want spend too much money to move.

Or

I just spent $$ on a new kitchen, I want $$$$$$ back on that investment when I move.

Reality of today’s market is that you will see the return on your investment not in an inflated sales price but in retaining the highest percentage of your list price and staying on the market the fewest # of days.

Please consult with your Realtor & staging professional as to which improvements you should finish to make your home the most salable.
