As REALTORs, we keep tabs on the daily changes in the real estate market. When we search in CRMLS (one of the biggest MLSs) we can see what properties are new, which properties went into escrow, and what sold. For all of these properties, we also get a RED down arrow and a GREEN up arrow depending on whether the price was cut or the price was increased. If the property sold for over list price, then there is the green up error. If it sold for less than list price or the price... was reduced, then there is a red down arrow. When you're pricing a home right now, it's crucial to look at the trends of the local market. As you know from real estate and mortgage headlines, the rising mortgage interest rates have pushed some buyers out of the market for financial reasons and other buyers have decided to wait because the monthly payment is higher than when they first got preapproved. If you're thinking of selling, let's talk today about a plan...not next month. You can't predict the future, but you can make plans for the future. Let's make a plan for you to buy or sell your home and accomplish your real estate goals. 9095255543 [email protected] #sellingrealestate #mortgagerates #TeamDanandNan #KALEO #MLS #localmarkettrends #REALTOR #californiarealtor #socalproperties #realestategoals

Home Selling Myth Busters! Myth #1 - You have to do Repairs. Select items such as carbon monoxide devices, smoke alarms, and water heater bracing ARE required. But in general repairs are a point of negotiation. ... Myth #2 - Price High to Get More Money. Pricing at market or right below market value gets the most interest, more offers, and puts you in a position of strength to counter for the highest and best offer." Myth #3 - Spring & Summer are the Best Time to List. The pandemic changed the traditional seasonality of listing. The best time to list is when YOU need to move. The best time to list is when there are fewer homes on the market. Myth #4 - All Real Estate Agents Do the Same Thing. Not all real estate agents are the same. Our office and support staff have a high level of communication and 5 star experience as our standard. We list homes with professional, inclusive services. Myth #5 - You should never accept the 1st offer. The first offer COULD be your only offer AND your best offer! If you want to hold out for more offers, you can always do that, but it also means your days on market are increasing. In this market, properties that are active for more than a couple weeks can get a stigma from the general home-buying public. Myth #6 - Remodeling has a Return On Investment (ROI). Many homeowners believe that if they remodel a bathroom and spend $50,000 that they will make that money back when they go to sell. Not all remodels have a one-to-one relationship with increased value. Myth #7 - Living Trusts Complicate Deals. Many homeowners hold title to their property in a trust. We have experience selling homes that are held in living trusts. We have done probates and properties where there is a successor trustee because the original trustee has passed away. Our team and support staff can navigate anything! 9095255543 [email protected] #realestate #SoCalproperties #TeamDanandNan #KALEO #realtor #homeselling #contractnegotiations #livingtrust #homerenovation #openhouse #realestatephotography #homestaging #brokersopenhouse #pricedtosell #whoyouworkwithmatters
