When buying a new home it is typical that buyers will focus on the tangible things that they want out of their new property - number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, flooring, appliances, etc. The Ellens Team takes more of a holistic approach to finding you your dream home.

Today’s podcast is targeted at both buyers and sellers. We all know that we are in an inventory shortage. We are currently at 1.78 months supply of inventory, and to be a balanced market, we like to see a three-month supply of inventory. We’ve been hearing many people ask, is the market doing good? Today I will cover that for all you buyers and sellers. We recently got data on forbearance as well, surprisingly the majority of the people in forbearance have at least 30% equity. I would love to talk more to you and answer any questions you may have on this, such as “What is my home worth?” and “What would my net proceeds be if I were to sell?” For all of you buyers, rates are still at a historic low. We don’t have a crystal ball to let us know if these will continue to drop or rise, so it’s good to take advantage of these low rates now! An average of 3 offers are submitted at once simultaneously on homes that sold, and you bring those numbers locally, and we average about 7-8. I would love to talk more and show you how you can make your offer stand out from all the others and put yours front of the line. Most homes are receiving like we said multiple offers and selling above list price for all of you sellers. From my personal experience on the listings that I’ve sold, they have also had multiple offers and sell within only a few hours. If you’re thinking about selling, I would love to help you list your home and get it sold effectively and efficiently.

Today I am joined by the awesome Matt Webber where he explains what makes him different from other lenders in Arizona and why him. Listen in to hear all about the Webber group and what they have to offer. When buying a home it's always a good idea to get pre approved. Knowing your price point and loan program helps start the buying process smoothly. Having a lender you can trust to walk you through the process is key. Make sure to check out Matt Webber and The Webber Group for your buying or refinancing needs.
Today I got the lovely pleasure to feature Liz O'Neal and her company AZ Property Inspections. Home inspections on both the buyer and seller side are crucial even on new homes.

AZ Property Inspections does all of our home inspections and leaves all of our clients feeling safe when they are buying their new home. As well as when we have a home to list when selling it is a great thing to have already done for potential buyers. When you need a property inspection done, make sure to call AZ Property Inspections to get the job done for you. We trust them with all of our clients, and so should you!
Today I wanted to talk to focus win the market, if we thought inventory was low before, it got lower. We were at 1.9 month's supply of inventory and and in January, we hit an all time low of 1.6 month's supply of inventory. Knowing that January is one of those two top listing months, and knowing that we dropped to a 1.6 month's supply of inventory add up to WE NEE MORE HOUSES. We need your HOME!

It's a really good idea to know what your home is worth and I'd love to help you find that out. Imagine what we can do if you just look at your evaluation and determine can I help you. Again, we need inventory. I would love to help you sell your home. We can make that transition very smooth. Send me a DM and reach out to me directly, 602-288-8881.
Today we talk with the amazing Amanda Sue about why it is important to have a title company when you are doing your escrow. There is such big value in powering up with an amazing title company, like Lawyer's Title. Most of the times people don't think about needing a title company until they actually need one. Title company's are the independent third party that facilitate the transaction. As well as ensuring that you own the home and on the other end that the seller gets their proceeds for selling their home. Then make it easy for us agents and ensure that we have the resources, and technology to get your deals done.
