Here’s what you should know about how Zillow determines the value of your home and why it’s flawed. With the growing popularity of Zillow and other instant offer sites like it comes one important question: Can you trust Zillow’s estimate of your home’s value? For perspective, Zillow has only been around since 2007; I’ve been in real estate since 1981, so I think I have a leg up on Zillow. In most cases, when Zillow comes up with its valuation (known as a Zestimate), they don’t even step foot into your home, they just crunch marketplace data. “To be honest, I don’t even think Zillow knows why it changes its figures.” Zillow uses an algorithm to estimate home value, and there’s no way for that algorithm to factor in any improvements you’ve made to the property. I’ve had several people ask me, “Well, why did Zillow raise my price,” or, “Why did Zillow lower my price?” To be honest, I don’t even think Zillow knows why it changes its figures. The bottom line is this: Don’t trust Zillow. What you need to do is get an experienced agent to look at the inherent benefits of and improvements to your home. Here at the Roth Team, we compare what homes like yours have recently sold for with what’s currently on the market. Then, based on your competition, we position your home so you get the highest price possible. Again, don’t fret if Zillow gives you an estimate that seems leagues lower than what you feel is right. It almost certainly is too low, so seek out a professional opinion. If you’re thinking of selling a home soon, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or someone else on the Roth Team. We’d be happy to sit down with you and figure out how to get you the most money for your home.
Today I’m sharing my predictions regarding prices, inventory, interest rates and average days on market. To bring you up to speed on our current real estate market, interest rates are still low, and we’re looking at fixed-rate mortgages as low as 3% to 3.5%. Here are my predictions on what the market will do in this new year: 1. Interest rates will stay low. The government said it wants to hold interest rates, so I think for at least the next six months you can expect them to stay low, but after that—you never know. 2. Inventory will increase. As of the beginning of January, we’re seeing the lowest level of single-family homes for sale in the Milwaukee area, less than 4,000. For reference, compare this number to roughly 9,000 homes in January 2015. However, as we head into the spring and summer months, I do expect that we will see an increase. “I predict that in 2020 we will see a 3% to 5% increase in prices.” 3. Median sale prices will continue to go up. The rise likely won’t be as high as what we saw recently in the Milwaukee area, where prices in some cases increased by 8% to 10%. I predict that in 2020 we will see a 3% to 5% increase in prices. If inventory levels get higher, prices may even level out. 4. The average days on market will increase. In most market places, the average days on market is about 30 days. The higher price-range homes (anything from $500,000 to $1 million-plus) are still taking longer to sell and aren’t going up in value as much. The average days on market in 2020 will be lengthened by an increase in inventory. It’s a great time to buy a home when you consider how low the interest rates are; if you need pre-approval, contact us and we can get you set up with a lender. Sellers: take advantage of what will be the seventh year of a strong seller’s market. If you would like to get a valuation on your home, give me a call or reach out to anyone at the Roth Team. We’d be happy to help you.

Today, we have a guest with us, Jim Finch from Schroeder United Movers, to answer some questions that my clients have had about moving. 1. “Where do you move people to?” We can move people anywhere. United van lines can move people all around the world. Here in town, we can move people locally as well as all around the United States. 2. “What does a typical move cost?” For something like a 2,500 square foot home, a local move could cost anywhere from $500 to $3,000, depending on the services you request and how far you’re moving. For a farther move, like from Greater Milwaukee to Atlanta, costs could range from $1,500 to $10,000. 3. “What are the variables for those costs?” The type of service and the amount of stuff moved will affect the cost. Whether you’re only bringing personal possessions or you’re bringing all of your furniture will vary the expense, as well as if you need temporary storage space. That’s why we try to get our sales representatives out of the house and take a look at the situation. Then we can give them a price estimate right then and there. Another factor is that our company is insured, so any potential damages will be covered. “The type of service and the amount of stuff moved will affect the cost.” 4. “What types of storage options do you have?” We have different sizes of moving containers that we ship on our trucks, which are especially useful if people don’t have that much. 5. “When are you the busiest? How far in advance should someone contact you?”The busiest moving times are between April and September. In that period, we probably would need three or four weeks’ notice. As we get into the fall and winter, we’re pretty flexible. 6. “If someone wanted an estimate, how could they reach you?” Our phone number is(262) 446-4709, so call me and I can provide you with whatever information you may need. If you have any questions about moving or selling your home, feel free to reach out to us at the Roth Team. We will be more than glad to help you out.
If you’re selling your home, why should you hire a full-service brokerage like the Roth Team instead of a limited-service, discount broker? There are four points you need to remember. 1. Exposure and resources. At Shorewest, we have 900 agents who each get paid a 25% bonus if they sell your home versus one that just got listed on the MLS. We have the resources for relocation buyers moving in and out of town through corporations and our contacts with other national real estate companies. Discount brokers don’t have these same resources. We also offer active marketing. There’s a difference between listing your home and passively waiting for a buyer to show up and actively finding a buyer. Speaking for myself and the Roth Team, we actively and aggressively market your home to the buying public every day. 2. Professionalism. When you’re selling your home, you want someone who will answer the phone at their office and return your calls. Many discount brokerages will leave you talking to an answering machine most of the time. Follow-through like that is the biggest reason why we sell more homes. 3. Negotiation skills. Think of it this way—if a discount agent is so quick to give up their commission for you, how quick will they be to give up your price to the buyer? On average, we net our homeowners 2% more on their sale price than limited-service brokers because they don’t have the skill and knowledge to negotiate a good price on your behalf. “Our service nets home sellers more money than limited-service, discount brokers.” 4. Results. In 2016, 16 of our limited service brokerage competitors sold 2,500 homes combined. Our company sold over 12,000. We outsold them five-to-one. There is a reason people use our service—it works, and it gets them more money. If you have any more questions about how we can net you more money in your home sale than a limited-service, discount broker, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to speak with you.
Summerfest 2017 is almost here. This is what you have to look forward to on the 50th anniversary.We’re less than a week away from Summerfest, Milwaukee! Are you excited?

Dozens of other top performers will grace the stages as well.What’s new this year at Summerfest? For one, the Miller Lite Oasis Stage has been redone, complete with a concert viewing deck. Summerfest also has a great app this year through Pepsi, where you can get all the information you could possibly need about the festival, the performers, and the food.What are you most excited for? Speaking of food, there are more than 50 new additions to the menu. These include stuffed pasta pizza, waffle nachos, and beer-battered bratwursts on a stick (my personal favorite.)

If you are looking for a real estate agent, it is vitally important that you ask them these five questions before giving them the important job of selling your home. Despite what most people think, not all agents are created equal.Are all attorneys the same? Are all CPAs the same? Are all doctors the same? Of course not. So, how can you make sure that you hire the right real estate agent? I recommend asking them these five questions: 1. How many homes have you sold so far this year? You should also ask how many homes they sold the previous year. Why? The average agent sells fewer than three homes in a calendar year, which means that they probably don’t know much about real estate. At the Roth Team, we’ve sold 175 homes so far this year; last year, we sold 236 homes. 2. What is your average list to sales price ratio? In other words, how close is the purchase price to the asking price? Some agents offer a lower commission because they will give your house away. They let the buyer negotiate the price down. Our average list to sales price ratio is 98.4%, which is very close to asking price. 3. What is the average days on market for the homes you list and sell? Of course, if it takes an agent six months to a year to sell homes, they are wasting time and money. This year, our homes spent an average of 48 days on the market. 4. How many years of experience do you have? Do they have another job? Quite honestly, many agents do not make enough money to support their income in real estate. Many agents have less than three to five years of experience in the market. I’ve been doing this full-time for 35 years. Experience counts; it can really make a difference when it comes to selling your home. 5. How many people will you talk to every day to sell my home? Every agent puts your home on the MLS, throws it on a few websites, and takes out an ad in the paper. Some agents may even hold open houses. However, those methods are not good enough. They need to personally contact potential buyers every day. We call that active marketing. Our team contacts as many as 100 people a day to get your home sold. You need an experienced agent who works full-time. If you have any other questions about real estate, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. My team and I would be happy to help you!

What are the benefits of using a home warranty to sell your home? Our company and team actually use another company called Home Security of America (HSA), and they provide warranties on the sale of existing or used homes. This coverage actually covers all the mechanical systems in a home, such as plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning, water heater, and even the appliances that are included in the sale of the home. It covers the buyer for up to one year after closing. On a single-family home, the cost of the coverage would be $564. If it was a condominium, the cost would be $535. The buyer is then able to extend that beyond a year after they buy it. “A home warranty makes a buyer feel more comfortable.” Many of our sellers are using this as a marketing tool to sell their home. If they do provide it up front, the seller actually gets free coverage on items while the home is listed for sale. For example, we just had a client who had a water heater replaced while the home was listed and got a brand new one for a nominal deductible of $100. There are two main benefits: First, it’s a great marketing tool. If your home has a warranty and another competing property doesn’t, that may make the buyer feel more comfortable in buying the one with a warranty. Plus, all new construction has a builder’s warranty for one year. Secondly, it adds peace of mind. This is especially true in cases where a seller may have older components in their property, such as an older furnace, air conditioning, plumbing, or electrical. All of that is covered for the buyer for up to one year after closing. They also don’t have to actually replace these components. If you have a 20-year-old furnace that still works, you can keep the furnace and offer a home warranty! If you have any questions about the home warranty or how the process works, please give us a call at the Roth Team and hopefully we can answer them. Thanks, and have a great day.
Hey everyone, thanks for joining us once again. Today we want to discuss a question we get a lot from clients: Why should I sell my house now vs. waiting for the spring or summer to make a move? There are a lot of reasons you should consider selling now instead of in a few months. Today we are going to give you our top 5, so you can make a decision before your grass gets green and the spring is in full swing. 1. The transfer market is extremely activeThis is the time of year that people who were offered jobs at the end of 2014 are looking for homes to move into, and they won’t want to wait until summer to buy your home. They are in the market for a home right now, and are desperate to get a good home. 2. You can change the closing dateWhen you sell your home in the early months of the year, you can delay your closing date until the summer. By the time your home goes through the entire closing process, it will be late spring or early summer, so you won’t be rushed to find a new home right away. 3. Homes are selling every dayIn the last 60 days alone, over 1,300 single-family homes have sold in the Metro Area. The Roth Team has sold over 55 of those homes by ourselves. 4. Buyers have fewer optionsInventory is very low right now, and buyers are gobbling up the best homes almost as soon as they come on the market. Right now, there is a 25% deficit in inventory from where we usually are at, and the demand has only increased so far. 5. Interest rates will rise soonRight now is the perfect time to take advantage of our low interest rates. Instead of waiting until later in the year and having to deal with 5-6% interest rates, you can secure an interest rate right now between 3% and 4%, saving you tens of thousands in interest over the life of your loan. If you are thinking about making a move and have any questions, we are always here to answer them. Give us a call or send us an email, and we will get back to you soon! We can’t wait to hear from you!
