April 2019 Monthly Market Update

​April 2019 Monthly Market Update

The spring market is here!  Today we are going to discuss the facts on what’s going on in the market.  There is so much negative news out there.  But let’s talk about what’s going on locally.  It is true what Sam Khater chief economist at Freddie Mac said – “We’re in a mental recession. It’s a constant stream of negative headlines for a couple of months…it wears on you.”  

Our local housing market is hot!  Our listings are selling with multiple offers and FAST!  Another testament to the growth in home sales this year compared to last year is how many transactions the Mortgage Bankers Association, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae are projecting for 2019.  

Fannie Mae thinks we will see a slight increase, Freddie Mac thinks we will see a larger increase, and the Mortgage Bankers Association says we are going to do very well.  

Last month we spoke about how to win a bidding war.  This month lets focus in on how to create a bidding war.  To create a bidding war, you need to be a skilled marketer who knows how to create the RIGHT demand.  There are several elements involved including market knowledge, customized marketing campaigns, and strategic pricing.   This ensures that you will net the most and have the negotiating leverage to make it an easier sale for you.  We discuss in depth our exclusive marketing strategies at our home selling seminars.
