Introduction: Supply and Demand
The guiding law of how markets operate.
The balance of supply and demand
affects everything.
“Sellers Market”
•Low supply, high demand
•Seller advantage
•Growing prices
•Quick sales
“Buyers Market”
•High supply, low demand
•Buyer advantage
•Flat or declining prices
•Longer market time
“Balanced Market”
•Neither side has a market-wide advantage
•Price growth and market times in line with historical norms

2.What are the biggest challenges or misconceptions you face with today’s sellers?
Show, Don’t Tell
Using market statistics intelligently with
clients
Show, Don’t Tell
Statistics aren’t numbers,
they’re stories.
Don’t be scared.
Show, Don’t Tell
Statistics are more important
now than ever.
1) Unique market conditions2) Consumers have far more
information
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.
Show, Don’t Tell
Use proof to back up your claims.
RASE market reports give independent third-party
verification.

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
First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
First-Time
Buyers
All Other Buyers

The sequel won’t be as effective as the original
Sell-forward effect
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.
