Show, Don’t Tell

Using market statistics intelligently with

clients

Page 18: Sioux Falls Housing Market

Show, Don’t Tell

Statistics aren’t numbers,

they’re stories.

Don’t be scared.

Page 19: Sioux Falls Housing Market

Show, Don’t Tell

Statistics are more important

now than ever.

1) Unique market conditions2) Consumers have far more

information

Page 20: Sioux Falls Housing Market

Show, Don’t Tell

Provide knowledge at the expense of salesmanship.

It’s not always a good time to buy or sell. Tell a consumer that and

you have their loyalty for life.

Small Group Discussion

You’re making a listing presentation to a seller. They believe their house is worth far more than you do.

How would you make your case?

Use statistics from the Monthly Indicators Report, but what else would you say?

The Future of Sioux Falls Real Estate

Beyond 2009, the crystal ball is hard to read.

Sales are up, but some of the incentives driving the recent surge are temporary:

1. Historically low mortgage rates

2. $8,000 Tax Credit for 1st Time Buyers

Inefficient Use of Government Funds?

From “Help May Bring Another Bubble” Las Vegas Sun, 9.22.09

“We paid $8,000 to at least 1.5 million people to do something they were going to do anyway,” Jakabovics says....The tax break, due to expire at the end of November, is on track to cost $15 billion, twice what Congress had planned. In other words, it will cost $43,000 for every new homebuyer who would not have bought a house without the tax break.
