How Long Will It Take To Sell... ... Is a loaded question in today's real estate market and for most its not for the faint of heart both buyers and sellers are feeling the stress points of the sales process 1st and foremost you need to get under contract which is taking longer for both sides these days a well priced home in a great location can sell quickly one that needs repairs and is overpriced can take much longer to sell we have seen homes sell in a day we have seen homes on the market for 6 months and not sell the seller has a lot of control on price and condition if they want to sell fast and then you have to look at the terms of sale for the closing process timeline lets suppose that you have to sell a home in order to buy another and after 30 or 60 days you go under contract on the home you are selling now you are tasked with finding a home to buy and get that under contract the deadline to do so may only be a few days/few weeks depending on your home sale if you have enough proceeds to pay cash then you can be super aggressive on the number of days needed to close the purchase and possibly overcome a contingency to sell your home if you need to finance the purchase, then you will need to ask the seller for contingencies for the sale of your home and also the mortgage approval in most cases, 30 days is enough time get the loan approved when you start to add up the days to close a sale it becomes clear that if cash sales are involved with no contingencies the process can be completed in 30 days or less if financing is needed on top of a home sale then plan for 30-60 days all of this is on top of however long it takes for the home sale to go under contract so the long answer to the short question of how long does it take to sell is that it depends on your situation today's show takes you through the twists and turns

Where Did All The Showings Go... ...its a real thing right now as there are very few people actively looking at homes   and its a clear signal to the home sellers out there for homes that are not priced well   based on the condition and location of their property   those will struggle to get showings and offers let alone sell quickly    with multiple offers with excellent terms   thats not say that properties in great condition and in great locations   will not sell fast for top $$$ - because those will   as that type of home will do well in almost any type of market   but when sellers are not getting many looks online   and aren't seeing the number of showings and offers that they want   what is their next move ?   most sellers go on the market feeling that they are positioned to sell   but unless you have a robust marketing system   and a highly active agent   its going to be an uphill battle to outwork the competition   the lingering effects of the covid real estate market   show that sellers expectations have not evolved into the current market   now before you take the for sale sign out of the yard...   lets keep in mind that we are entering the time of year   that has the most activity for buyers and sellers   and it might just be the time that a new to market buyer   is just seeing home marketing ads for the 1st time   its a fact that some sellers will make adjustments to their price and condition   those will be the ones that see a spike in showings and offers   we unpack a lot of information in today's show    with tips on how to navigate this summer market   give us a listen and subscribe if you like what you are hearing    

... Is a home buying strategy with many advantages At a time when real estate inventory continues to increase home buyers remain very particular in what they are looking for and there is a real fear of the pressure that exists when they only have a limited time to select a home and its the exact reason that many choose to make their purchase before they ever put their home on the market and if you are open minded to doing so you open the door to possibilities that wouldn't exist otherwise imagine for a moment being able to to renovate your new home before you begin to move in new flooring fresh paint new kitchen cabinets and back splash updated bathrooms all could be done relatively quickly you could selectively begin to move in 1 room at a time while the work is being done and your final move in would be into a new home that will need little, if any work done, for the foreseeable future and in the process, your previous home will be empty and clean making it much easier to complete any repairs or touch ups to get the home ready for a profitable sale that will very likely breeze through the inspection process this opens the door to the widest pool of buyers the hidden bonus is that this option relieves most of the stress involved when trying to sell and buy at the same time and removes the need to purchase with home sale contingencies that can cost you money or even worse cause you to miss out on the home that you really want as most sellers are averse to taking a chance that your home sale doesn't close today's show gives your real life scenarios to guide you through the process  

Did We Just Enter Into A Buyers Market...     ... A lot of home buyers are certainly feeling that way right now We have seen a steady increase in the number of homes for sale And homes are taking longer to sell but does that actually mean that its a buyers market most real estate experts consider 6 months of inventory as the line of demarcation when determining what type of market it is less than 6 months of inventory is a sellers market 6 months of inventory is a balanced market more than 6 months of inventory is a buyers market we are finding that many areas of the country are hovering right around the middle  and when this happens those watching the market are looking for signs of which direction it will be heading in the short and long term and during these times both sides feel like they can win listen in to learn more about what we feel is about to happen

Send us a textThe housing market is undergoing a seismic shift that most mainstream media outlets aren't addressing with the clarity you deserve. I've been diving deep into the numbers across zip codes nationwide, and the evidence is compelling – we're witnessing inventory levels approaching those seen during the previous market bottom.In small towns like Black Mountain NC - which could be small town America anywhere - available homes have increased from just 17 in 2022 to 85 today – nearly matching the 94 homes available at the bottom of the previous market correction. Even more telling, nearly 40% of sellers are implementing price cuts compared to 32.5% during the previous downturn. This isn't just happening in quiet mountain communities; metropolitan areas are experiencing even more dramatic inventory surges. For sellers, this shift demands immediate strategy adjustments. The days of aspirational pricing have ended – buyers now have options and negotiating power they haven't possessed in years. If you're considering listing, you need to either price aggressively from the start or consider alternatives like my Certified Pre-Owned approach, which eliminates the typical 3% repair concessions that plague conventional sales.Buyers, especially younger ones, should recognize this moment of opportunity. Many in their 20s and 30s have resigned themselves to never owning homes, but this market correction creates potential entry points. Consider a 20-year mortgage instead of the standard 30-year option – yes, payments increase slightly, but you could own your home outright by age 46, creating a wealth-building foundation most Americans never achieve.The current 6-7% interest rates aren't the crisis many portray them to be – they represent historical norms. Smart buyers are negotiating seller concessions to buy down these rates rather than waiting indefinitely for decreases that may never materialize. Remember, you can always refinance later if rates drop significantly.This market evolution follows patterns economist Clément Juglar identified over 160 years ago – predictable 7-11 year economic cycles. Understanding these fundamentals allows you to make strategic decisions rather than emotional reactions. Whether buying or selling, your ten-year plan matters more than ever in navigating this transitional market successfully.Ready to discuss your specific situation?

The Fed Interest Rate Move...      ... Wasn't A Move At All Interest rates, once again, remain unchanged In all honesty, the real estate industry doesn't need it right now At a time when market activity historically increases It isn't necessarily important to the real estate industry The time period right after tax season closes out combined with the end of the school year is an annual rewenal of interest for many home buyers and sellers whether they are upsizing or downsizing their home some may be getting ready to buy a retirement property whiles others are seeking an investment property for additional income regardless of the reason this is the season where the most people are in the market most years and with that, there will likely be an increase in new listings which in turn will lead to a spike in home sales most of which will close by the month August According to the National Association of Realtors More than 80% of Metro Markets nationwide (189 of 228) saw home values increase in the 1st quarter of 2025 and there is a belief that this will continue over the summer month today's show is a lively conversation regarding why this is happening

Delay Your Taxes Even Longer...  ... is something that almost everyone wants to do A 1031 Exchange is something that I have spent a lot of time on over the years Its a tax strategy used when selling a property that allows the seller to defer (delay) the tax due until a subsequent sale has been completed this allows them to put more of the money to work and pay the taxes somewhere down the road I have discussed it in a number of forums recently in the spirtit of contribution to the real estate community there is another layer that can be added when a seller decides that they want to take their profits and use them for something other than a real estate purchase let's suppose that you have a need for some of the money now but not all of it right away and what you would really like  is to have an income from the sale for 10, 20 or even 30 years you could "become the bank" and finance the purchase for your buyer they would give you a down payment and make monthly payments just like they would if they got the money from their bank the difference is that you receive installments each month and would only pay tax on what you receive in a year based on your cost basis and profits from the sale which allows you to spread out the tax due for many years you should definitely talk to your tax planner before you make any moves like this but for some sellers and investors this is the exact right strategy today's show walks you through a number of scenarios

...its the time of year where things go faster and differently tax season is now done and there is an increase in real estate activity level most people have a very clear financial picture documents are readily available for those that will apply for mortgages snowbirds consider selling their homes those nearing retirement are looking for to relocate landlords are looking to cash in investors are looking to add to their portfolio the school year has ended which always add buyers and sellers to the market so this is a time where properties that have lingered unsold we find many sellers will be taking price reductions so they can get a 2nd look from this new audience a large number of home sellers will be looking to purchase a different home and lining up the closing dates can be challenging to say the least the usual speed bumps are more amplified inspections appraisals contingent on selling a property insurance delays due to tropical storms today's show goes super deep into these scenarios  

This episode's second part focuses on the seller's perspective in real estate transactions. We explore key considerations and provide practical guidance for homeowners looking to sell, addressing common questions about the selling process. Selling Costs: The total cost of selling a home includes REALTOR® fees (3-7%), legal fees (~$1,500), staging costs, cleaning fees, and potential mortgage penalties. Market Timing: While late spring and early summer are typically optimal for selling, market conditions can vary significantly, making timing subjective. Property Value Assessment: Realtors use Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine property values by examining similar properties, analyzing sale prices, and considering factors like location, features, and market conditions.

...and there are whispers of the market going negative but one has to wonder is it market movement or is it market manipulation we have discussed the big moves made by Rocket Mortgage to acquire Redfin and Mr Cooper and now is the time that we should take a look at Zillow as they just shared their forecast that home prices may go down nearly 2% next year no has knows for sure but I do find it interesting that Zillow has acquired Follow Up Boss and Showing Time in recent years in an effort to become a seamless 1 stop home buying/selling portal and lets face it - negative news gets clicks online and if consumers belived that prices were about to drop it would create new activity in the housing market buyers would check more intently for deals sellers would be more likely to sell quicker if they felt the price would be lower each month ongoing but here's the thing is it smart for a seller to drop their price dramatically when 1% of $400,000 is just $4,000 even 2% is only $8,000 knowing this, it doesn't make finanical sense to drop their listing price 25k unless they were glaringly over priced I am not saying that the zillow forecast is right or wrong thats for consumers decide but I do find it interesting that it appears to move the ball forward in their grand plan  tune in to today's show for the details

We're answering the top three most-asked questions from sellers on pricing, pre-listing preparations, and more. Selling your home is a big decision, and it often comes with a lot of uncertainty. Whether you're relocating, upgrading, or downsizing, the process can feel overwhelming. To help you navigate through it, we'll share the three most common questions we get from sellers so you know exactly what to expect. Question #1: What do I need to do to get my house ready to sell? When preparing your home for sale, the goal is to make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers. Right now, homes that are selling are clean, well-maintained, and staged thoughtfully. You don't need to do major renovations, but small updates can make a big difference. Freshly painted high-traffic areas and replacing worn fixtures or finishes can have a huge impact. These simple steps can help your home stand out and attract serious buyers. Question #2: What is my home's worth? Knowing your home's current value is one of the most important steps in selling. Right now, it's a strong market for sellers, but market conditions can change. Pricing your home correctly is key. Factors like your home's condition, local market trends, and buyer demand all play a role in determining its value. Getting an accurate, up-to-date market analysis can help you understand your home's worth and guide your pricing strategy. “Access to off-market listings gives you an edge in finding your next home.” Question #3: Do you know any homes that meet what I'm looking for? Finding your next home is just as important as selling your current one. The market can make it challenging to find the right property, especially with low inventory. However, there is a solution: off-market properties. These homes haven't been listed yet but might meet your needs. Having access to off-market listings gives you an advantage by letting you explore options other buyers don't know about yet. Additional question: Do you know anyone looking to purchase my home? Sellers often ask if it's possible to find a buyer before listing their property. With the right connections, it's possible to find a buyer even before your home hits the market. Access to a broad network of potential buyers can help you sell your home quickly without waiting. This can be a great option for those looking for a faster, smoother sale. As you move forward with selling your home, keep these questions in mind. Understanding how to prepare your home, determine its value, and find your next place will help you make informed decisions.

Welcome to the Real Estate Rundown! This week, Kala, Jason, and Eliot discuss a viral home seller's rise in the media after listing his home without an agent.

Home sales are starting to look weak Last week we saw the release of existing home sales in the month of January and the decline was far bigger than expected. The number of units sold on an annual basis was 4.08 million, which was a decline 4.9% compared to the prior month. Analysts were expecting a smaller decline of 2.6%. While inventory remains tight at a 3.5-month supply, it is improving. Month over month inventory increased 3.5% and when compared to last January, we saw an increase of 17%. For now, it appears that housing prices are stable with the median price of a home sold in January at $396,900, an increase of 4.8% over last January. The number of cash buyers slipped from 32% one year ago to now only 29%. What is more disturbing is the numbers on first time homebuyers. Over history, first time homebuyers have generally made up around 40% of home sales, but January data shows that has slipped to only 28%. I don't see a crash in the housing market coming, but I do believe people buying a house thinking they will make 10 to 20% on their investment over the next year or so is a mistake as I'm pretty confident those days are gone. If you're going to buy a home, buy it as a place to live and raise your family, do not try to make a quick investment return on the short term.   Some home sellers are giving up As a whole, the US home selling market has had some cracks, which we have talked about in the past. The rising interest rates have kept buyers on the sidelines and people selling their homes still think they're worth more than what they can get in today's market. Also, sellers have been spoiled over the past few years thinking you put your house on the market and you should be able to sell it in less than a month. Over a longer period of time, which looks out further than just the last few years, it used to maybe take 3 to 6 months to sell a home. Home sellers really became discouraged in December as delistings soared 64% in the month compared to last year after not finding an interested buyer to purchase the home. At 73,000 delistings, this was the highest level since 2015. We could see that change if interest rates come back down, but at this point in time there's no indications that that will happen in a major way. I'm still looking for a low growth environment for the price of real estate in the coming years.   Another comparison showing AI is overpriced Many people have used the comparison of the tech boom and bust when looking at the high prices for a lot of these AI stocks, which I believe has a lot of relevance. But if you go back 100 years, there's another comparison with Radio Corp. of America, which was a booming technology back then. If your company put radio in the name somewhere, you got to ride along on the upward trend. Sound familiar? RCA stock rose 200 times its value during the 1920s, but then by 1932 it fell 98%. What is even more amazing is in 1986 General Electric acquired RCA for about 72% higher than the price peak back in 1929. It has never been a wise investment strategy to overpay for any investment, which seems to mostly happens in technology. Over the years this hype cycle has happened with cannabis, electric vehicles, and 3-D printers just to name a few. No one knows where the top will be for AI, but one thing I know for certain is many people will lose far more than they could even imagine, which unfortunately will destroy their retirement portfolios.   Berkshire Hathaway historically high cash balance It is no secret that Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, is sitting on over $300 billion in cash, which is invested mostly in T-bills. As a percent of assets, it is now just over 25%, which has never been seen before. The excess cash is caused by two things, first reducing ownership of Apple and some other stocks. Last year alone Berkshire sold 605 million shares or about 70% of its holdings in the stock. It now has a market value of only $75 billion. The second reason for all the cash is likely because of his philosophy to invest when others are fearful and sell when they are greedy. We are definitely in the greedy stage, which we have been talking about at our firm for probably over a year now. No one knows when this will change, but it will. With the expensive nature of many companies and the markets, Warren Buffett likely cannot find anything on sale that he believes is worth buying. I don't see a major crash coming in the near future, but I also don't see any big gains coming either. I do continue to believe we will likely see a correction that leads to a short-term pullback of 10 to 20%. I hope you're prepared for a few months of volatility, as I believe it is coming.   What's so Special about your “Full Retirement Age”? The Social Security Administration references your “full retirement age” quite often, so it is important to understand why that matters, and why it doesn't. The main reasons this age is important is because at that point you are no longer subject to the earnings limit, and your benefit amount at that age is used to calculate spousal benefits. If you begin collecting Social Security before your full retirement age, you are subject to an earnings limit of $23,400.  For every $2 of wage or self-employment income you have above that limit, $1 of your Social Security benefit will be withheld from you.  Other income sources do not count and this rule no longer applies after reaching you full retirement age, meaning you can work and earn as much as you want.  If you do have Social Security withheld due to the earnings limit, you will receive a credit for that when you reach your full retirement age. As a spouse if you had a limited earnings history, you may collect a spousal benefit from the record of your higher earning spouse.  The spousal benefit is ½ of the higher earning spouse's full retirement age benefit amount.  The age that the higher earning spouse actually collects does not change the spousal benefit.  In order to receive the full spousal benefit, the lower earning spouse needs to collect at their own full retirement age.  Waiting beyond that does not increase the spousal benefit, but collecting before full retirement age will reduce the spousal benefit. For those reasons full retirement age matters, but there are plenty of situations where it doesn't. If you stop working before your full retirement age, then the earnings limit is irrelevant, and if you and your spouse both have an earnings history, then spousal benefits are irrelevant. Many retirees have the belief that something special happens to their benefit amount at their full retirement age, but the truth is, your Social Security window is from age 62 to 70.  Every month you wait to start, your benefit amount increases slightly.  There is no additional increase upon reaching a specific calendar year, birthday, or even your full retirement age.  For some it may be best to collect at their full retirement age, but for the majority of retirees it is more beneficial to collect at an age other than their full retirement age based on their individual income, asset, and tax situation.   Companies Discussed: Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX), Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM), Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) & Eli Lilly and Company (LLY)

The US housing market remains in uncharted territory. Median -- not average -- existing home prices hit another all-time high last month, yet transaction volumes are at lows not seen for decades. And potentially changing the game from here is that mortgage rates are likely headed downwards now that the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates. We're also seeing inventory starting to surge in an increasing number of regions. What does this all mean for home prices as we head into 2025? Will we ever return to a "normal" market again? And what would "normal" look like from here? To find out, we welcome housing analyst Nick Gerli, founder of reventure Consulting and creator of the new reventure app back to the program.
