No matter if you’re buying or selling in our Lee County market, opportunities are there for the taking. Find out why in our latest market update. Buying a Southwest Florida Home? Search all Homes for Sale Selling a Southwest Florida Home? Click here for a Home Value ReportIt’s time for a look at how our Lee County market performed this past April. There’s a lot to share, so let’s jump right in.Although the number of closed sales for single-family homes saw a 6.8% dropoff year over year, the median sale price went from $263,000 to $266,500—a 1.3% increase.As we predicted, the market is making an adjustment, which has led to a bit of a downturn. Even still, we’re seeing plenty of activity and buyers getting into the market.For sellers, this could very well mean that now is as good a time as any to take advantage of all the opportunities before you in our market. If you’re more comfortable with waiting, just know that you could be gambling away the chance to earn top dollar on your home sale.The choice of whether to get into the market now or later is much clearer for buyers: Year over year, the number of active listings in our market has shot up by 10.2% from 6,017 to 6,633. It goes without saying that the more homes available to you, the better your chances of finding the perfect home. “We’re seeing plenty of activity and buyers getting into the market. ”As for new pending sales, we’ve had a year-over-year increase of 5.5%, so it’ll be interesting to see if we can keep this up into May.Next, let’s look at the median time to contract—from the time the home goes on the market to the time it’s under contract. Here, we saw a 16-day jump from 55 days to 71 days. In all likelihood, this can be attributed to our market’s above-average supply of inventory. Unless a home is priced aggressively, it’s going to sit a little longer. Shifting the focus to townhomes and condos, the number of closed sales is 6.9% higher than it was at this time last year. The median sale price for these homes is up as well: Between April 2018 and this April, it rose from $198,000 to $205,000. For condo owners looking to sell, upgrade, or downsize, it only makes sense to get your property on the market now.Our market’s sweet spot when it comes to pricing is currently between $200,000 and $300,000. Broken down further, it’s between $200,000 to $250,000 and $250,000 to $300,000 for condos and single-family homes, respectively.For help with any and all of your real estate questions and needs, you can reach us by phone at 239-309-2352 or find us online at SearchFloridaGulfHomes.com.

This week's episode starts off with the Market Snapshot where we find out how the month of February matches up to this time last year and last month.Moving on from there, special guest Daniel from Mr. Home Inspector joins Michele and Curtis and go over many questions to do with getting a Home Inspection. We start off with some classic winter home prep that are often overlooked, plus some surprising problems found in home inspections. If you're thinking about buying a foreclosure home, a Home Inspection should be considered in order to appropriately assess the amount of work need in this 'as-is' purchase. It's also helpful to get a pre-listing home inspection so that you are aware of any issues that need to be addressed and that there won't be any surprises when the buyer books their inspection. Daniel also shares what sets his Inspection company apart from others; such as using the latest technology, Inspectors experienced in construction and renovations, and offering free technical support for as long as you own your home! Daniel is active in his community and you can see him daily hiking the Abby Grind!

Even though temperatures aren’t quite cooperating, our spring market is in full swing. We’ve all been hearing on the news lately how great the market has been so far this year. You’ve probably also heard about the extreme shortage in inventory we’re seeing. Well, this is still definitely the case. There are too few houses right now to match the number of available buyers, and prices are being driven up as a result. At the same time, the level of activity in our market is being driven down. Of course, different locations will see different trends reflected within their own markets. So if you want to learn more about what’s going on in your area, specifically, I’d be happy to meet with you for a no-cost consultation. “There are too few houses right now to match the number of available buyers, and prices are being driven up as a result.” But let’s look at the big picture for now. There’s currently 30% less inventory than there was at this time last year in our market. And while rising prices are having a big impact, so are rising mortgage rates. Experts predict we’ll actually see rates go as high as 5% by the end of 2018. With all these conditions at play, many of today’s buyers are making their moves as soon as possible. But first-time homebuyers are facing some difficulties, as lower price ranges are seeing significant appreciation. Homes in the range between $200,000 and $350,000 have appreciated by an average of 9% in the last 12 months. Thankfully, inventory levels are likely to rise a bit over the course of our spring market. They may not go up as much as we’d like, but hopefully this upward trend can make it easier for the buyers out there. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Welcome to the first episode of “The Phoenix and Scottsdale Real Estate Show!” It is our mission to keep you informed so that you can make smart decisions when buying or selling real estate and keep you connected with the community. We started this show to really connect buyers, sellers, and investors out there in the Phoenix area. We’ll provide localized content about what’s happening here in our area. When you hear national news about the national real estate market, it’s not at all applicable to our city, our ZIP codes, or your community or subdivision. That is what we’re here to do. If you have any questions about your specific area, go to our Facebook or Instagram and post your question. We’ll answer you in the next episode. That brings us to today’s episode. When you’re out looking at homes, it’s easy to fall in love with a property. Emotions run high, and it’s easy to get emotionally attached and overlook other important things as a homebuyer. As a buyer, there are three important things that you need to check before you move forward on a property: 1. Crime rates. Crime rates are often overlooked, even though it’s public information. Again, when you fall in love with the house, you don’t want to see any flaws, so you ignore crime rates or don’t bother checking them. It’s important to check crime rates, though. I recommend sites like AreaVibes or NeighborhoodScout. These are both good sites that you can use to get data for the area you are looking in. “School districts will impact the resale value of your home.” 2. School districts. Even if you don’t have kids, school districts are very important because of resale value. Chances are that part of your future buyer people will have new families and young kids, so they will really pay attention to school districts. For us personally, having three small kids ages six, four, and three, schools were very important when my wife and I purchased our home. To see how schools in the area are ranked, check out GreatSchools.org. 3. Resale values. It’s important that you have a good agent who can really articulate property values. They can help you determine what the home sold for and how long the previous owners have been in the house. If you are looking for a place with more stability, look at the neighbors and see how long they have been in their houses. This is a very important thing to do. If you move into an area with a high turnover rate (north of 15% or 20%), that may not be the best for real estate value. Again, a good agent can articulate the value of the property you’re purchasing and the value of homes in the area. One of the benefits of working with us is that we have proprietary software called Market Snapshot that you can sign up for. If you are looking to purchase a home (and even after you purchase), we will send you a monthly email that shows you what’s going on with prices for homes in your area. That way, you can keep tabs on what’s going on and keep track of the market value of your property. I hope you found this information helpful. We helped 174 families meet their real estate goals last year, and we are hoping to help over 200 families this year. We want to be a resource for our past and prospective clients, so we look forward to seeing you in episode two. Follow #Phoenix&ScottsdaleRealEstateShow for updates. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. We would be happy to help you!

Today I want to give you a final recap of our 2016 numbers and let you know what's going on in our real estate market so far in 2017.  Looking to sell your Central Illinois Home? Get a FREE home value report Looking to buy a Central Illinois Home? Search all homes for saleToday I want to give you an idea of what our real estate market is doing. I’ll go over some numbers from the end of the year last year and give you an update on what’s happening now in 2017. In 2016, the number of sales was down 1.7% compared to the year before, the average sales price was up 3.2%, and inventory was down 10%. However, 2016 was a fantastic year for our team. Our sales were up 22.9%, which is amazing! We couldn’t have done that without your support and business. Thank you so much! In other news, the spring market has already started. People have already started putting their homes on the market, and buyers are already out looking! That probably has something to do with the fact that our weather hasn’t been too cold, and people feel comfortable listing sooner than normal. Nicer weather has kick-started the spring market! We find that houses that are priced right and are move-in ready are selling right away. Buyers want a house that offers the most value and in their eyes, a move-in ready home in their price range is worth snatching off the market.  If you are looking to buy or sell a home, or if you have any questions about real estate in our area, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

Just give me a call or shoot me an email, and I’d be glad to help. 

What's going on in the market? The numbers for September are hot off the presses, so I wanted to share some interesting details about what our market looks like this season.Want to sell your Home? Get a FREE home value report.Want to buy a home? Search all homes for sale.The market snapshots for San Luis Obispo are just in, so I wanted to talk about how the real estate market fared in September. The market is still very robust all over the county. In North County, there was a month-to-month drop in property values and properties were on the market a little bit longer (61 days) in September than in August, but the median price year over year rose by 10%. In Scenic Coast, the moderate growth in August values were dwarfed by the 19% increase in September, which is great. The single-family home value is up to $650,000, days on market is down to 41 days, the median price is up about 19% year over year, and there are about 104 properties available.“The market is still very robust all over the county. ” Down in San Luis Obispo and Avila, the list of available properties for sale really shrunk last month. When you couple that with properties being on the market for fewer days, it really means less competition for today's sellers. The median single-family home value is about $716,000 and the average time on market is down to 38 days. The median price is up about 3%, and there are only 47 properties listed on the market in that area.Down here in South County there was a big jump in the median price in the Five Cities areas. The number of days a property stays on the market for sale also jumped. The median single-family home is up to $615,000, the days on market are up to a 68-day average, and there are only 247 homes listed on the market. Year over year, though, the median sales price is up 15%. As you can see, things can vary a lot by area, so if you're curious about what your home is worth in your specific area, I'd be glad to help. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email me today.

As you will see, due to a nationwide increase in prices and fall typically being a good time of year to sell your home, we’re in a seller’s market in Polk County.Want to Sell Your Polk County Home? Get a free home value reportLooking to Buy a Polk County Home? Search all homes on the mlsWhat’s been happening in the Polk County real estate market this fall?Right now, we’re definitely in a seller’s market. Fall is typically a good time to sell your home because people are looking to move before the end of the year. Nationwide, we’re still seeing a trend of prices increasing due to a lack of available inventory out there.What these conditions mean for buyers and sellers is that sellers don’t have to take the first offer they see, and buyers need to see their Realtor immediately if they see a house that they like.If you’re a buyer, when you come to the table with an offer, your offer must be one of your best. The times of negotiating back and forth three for four rounds just aren’t there anymore. We’re seeing many multiple offer scenarios happen, which means there are probably three or four other people making an offer on the same house that you are.In a volatile market like the one we’re facing, the terms of your contract (i.e., inspection period, financing, etc.) have to stand out.“If you’re a buyer, come to the table with your best offer. ”I’m proud to say that the Butler Team exceeds our local market in terms of the average days on market. The average days on market for all homes listed in East Polk County is 92 days. From January 1st through August 1st, our listed homes have averaged 67 days on market.If you have any other questions, please feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

This became known as "Brexit," and it has created a lot of uncertainty and worry for our neighbors across the Atlantic.Here in the U.S., though, Brexit has been nothing but good for our real estate market. Because of Brexit, investors all over the world want a safer place to invest, and this has pushed already-low mortgage interest rates down even further because they are investing in our housing market.“Here in the U.S., Brexit has been nothing but good news for mortgage rates.”In fact, we are now in the middle of the second-longest run of cheap mortgage rates in history. Currently, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 3.46%; this is only a few points above its all-time low of 3.31%.What does all of this mean for you?First, if you are looking to buy a home, now is an unusually good time to do so because these low rates mean you will be paying less. As an example, if you were to take out a 30-year, $250,000 mortgage today versus a year ago (when interest rates were almost 4%), you would save more than $25,000 over the lifetime of the loan.Another way to look at it is that at today’s rates, you can afford a more luxurious home without paying more. For example, if you were to take out a 30-year mortgage, you could now afford $15,000 more for a home than you could a year ago while keeping the same monthly payments.Clearly, this is a great opportunity.If you’re curious about which homes are available for sale in the greater Palm Springs area right now, check out the “search all homes” link above to get a list of available homes.Now, if you are looking to sell rather than buy, these low rates also benefit you big time. The more the mortgage rates drop, the larger the population of qualified buyers is, and the greater the demand is for homes.This healthy demand keeps up the price of your home and ensures your home will get sold quickly. Not surprisingly, pending home sales are up by 1.3% this summer and are now at the second-highest level in over a decade.If you’d like to know how much your home might be worth in the current market, I have a great tool I’d like to share with you called Market Snapshot. To use this tool, simply enter your address and some attributes of your home, and then we will provide you with a list of all of the homes that are currently on the market in escrow and homes that have sold in your specific area. This will give you a good idea of the value of your home.As you can imagine, these ultra-low mortgage rates won’t last forever and will rise sooner or later.If you are looking to take advantage of this unique situation while it lasts, give me a call or send me an email anytime. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, I’m here to help you.

You may also call me at (843) 972-3833 for a FREE home buying or selling consultation to answer any of your real estate questions.A lot of people ask me where they can find the best homes in Charleston, and I'm happy to tell you that there are a lot of good options for you.The Internet is a great place to start looking for homes. There are dozens of real estate websites, such as Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, etc. These websites are great starting points for your home search, but they don't always have the most reliable data put on them. Some of the listings are outdated, so a home that you're eyeing may actually have sold months ago. If a home is in good condition and priced correctly on Zillow, it's probably already been sold.I have a great Internet tool to suggest to you, and it's called the Market Snapshot. We deliver you information about homes that you're interested in. So if you want a four bedroom, three bath, with a three car garage and a pool, we can alert you via email when a listing like that comes onto the market.However, the downfall of the Internet is that it's not real. Sometimes what you see is not what you get, and that's why sometimes simply going out and looking at properties is the best thing that you can do. You can drive around and look at properties, but a better strategy is to hire a local real estate agent to show you homes.I have access to some of the best homes in Charleston, and some of them aren't even on the market yet! If you search on my website (www.davefriedmantv.com) it's updated every fifteen minutes. You just need to go in and set your parameters (# of bedrooms, # of baths, square footage) and you will receive alerts when a similar home becomes available.Because inventory is so low, we also have a 'coming soon' list of homes, and this allows you to escape the competition and find a good home very quickly.If you want to find some of the best homes in Charleston then please don't hesitate to contact us. We have access to premier listings in Charleston, and you'll need our help when the market is this hot!

Want to sell your Michigan Home? Get a FREE home value report Want to buy a Michigan Home? Search all homes for saleThrough the first half of the year, sales are up a little over 3%. Average sales prices are up a little over 6%. The interesting thing is that inventory is down 19%. The fact that sales and prices are up by small margins is a large indicator that this crazy seller’s market that we’ve been in the last couple of years is probably coming to an end. Looking at the Michigan housing affordability index, our index currently sits at 180. To provide some context, an index of 100 means that the median family can afford the median home. An index of 80 means that the median family can’t afford to purchase this same home. Historically, Michigan’s number has stayed level at around 135. At the peak of our recession, our number reached 210. As we trickle down toward the 130 to 140 mark, what it’s going to take to get level again is interest rates in the low-to-mid 5% range and housing values to potentially increase another 10% or so. "This gravy train sellers have been on is likely coming to an end."Another interesting point is that 89% of homes in Michigan have positive equity, and 72% have 20% equity or more. We may have one more spring like we’ve had with competing offers and low inventory, but by and large I think this gravy train sellers have been on for the past three or four years is ending soon.If you’re thinking about selling and aren’t sure whether it’s a good idea to pull the trigger now or to wait until next spring, give us a call and we’d be glad to help walk you through it. Until next time, make it a great day.

Steven Pritchard and Henry Jennings brings us a market snapshot.

There are many great Truckee area homes for sale.  Click here to perform a full home search, or if you're thinking of selling your home,click here for a FREE Home Price Evaluation so you know what buyers will pay for your home in today's market. You may also call me at (530) 582-6900 for a FREE home buying consultation to answer any of your real estate questions.Today I wanted to touch on what’s hot and what’s not in the real estate market up here in the Truckee Tahoe area.Overall right now, our sales are down about 10% with the average price up about 7% in Tahoe, but these numbers are quite different in certain neighborhoods. In Tahoe Donner right now, sales are up over 15% right now and the average price is also up 7%. Out in the Martis Valley, the sales are also up around 14% percent and the average sales price up about 6% as well.Over in the Glenshire area and the surrounding neighborhoods, sales are down about 31%, but the average price is up 14%. Why is this? Because the inventory is so low right now that prices are being driven up. If you have a house in say, Tahoe Donner, priced between $700,000 and $1.3 million, we’re seeing bidding wars, multiple offers, a lot of activity and a lot of demand. If you have a house in the Glenshire market and you’re thinking about selling - wow! Now is the perfect time. So what’s not hot right now? Homes that are a little dated, need some repairs, aren’t presented well, or are priced higher than the competition tend to sit on the market right now. Even nice, beautiful homes that are priced even $15,000 more than the competitively-priced homes are also sitting on the market. If you’re a buyer, I’d highly encourage you to make offers on those types of properties. Even if they’re a little out of price range, take a look because there’s not a lot of competition for them.If you’re interested in buying, we’d love to represent you in your search! Send us an email or phone call and let’s get started today!

If you're a prospective buyer click here for a full home search, or if you're considering placing your home on the market, get a free home value report, right here.The market here in Phoenix has seen better days. There is currently a weak demand for homes throughout the area, with the exception of a few pockets. Because of weak demand, the average days on market has risen to 84, from only 61 last year. Our inventory has also increased - to 4.2 months from 3.4 months at this time last year. Additionally, the listing success rate has fallen from 76% to below 70%.The only good piece of news we have for you today is that average sales price has risen to $250,000 from $225,000. The luxury market is seeing some positive trends, as activity is still strong for homes above $2 million. While overall conditions aren't the best, we will make it through this holiday season. Homes may be sitting on the market for longer, but sellers are getting higher prices in the end. This time of the year is pretty ideal for sellers, as we typically see serious buyers in the fall and winter months.If you have any questions regarding Phoenix real estate or need a hand navigating this tough market, give us a call or shoot us an email.

These trends are good for a recovering market, as there aren't concerns about appraisals on these deals. Also, it means the market has become stable, as the cash transactions will not be at any risk of future default. This last month, we had the lowest number of new properties coming on the market since February.

After the crash, we saw the market bounce back strong from 2011 to 2013 but now it's settled down again. To get an idea about what's happening in the market, there are a few indicators to look at. When we see a lot of homes listed that are not selling or are being forced to reduce their price, that indicates we have a buyer's market. On the other hand, when we see appraisals coming in lower that what the sales price is, we're in a seller's market.Right now, we're seeing appraisals get a little easier because the market is flat. There are fewer multiple offer situations and appraisals are coming in around where the sales price is. Just the other day we were working with some buyers who were interested in a home in a neighborhood where homes had been selling for around $600,000.  We were able to make and secure an offer under the list price because the house needed a great deal of work - it needed new carpet, paint, appliances, etc. Six months ago, that offer never would have gone through.What does all this mean? We have a very stable market. It's not trending up or down, but is staying consistent. This means neither buyers or sellers currently have an advantage. If you want to know what's happening in your specific area, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We can help you make the most of our current conditions.
