Market Absosrption Analysis
1-4 months of inventory is a sellers market. There is less inventory and more buyers.
5-6 months of inventory is a stable market.
7 + is a buyers market. There is more inventory than buyers.
Foreclosures, shortsales and renting your home because it has not sold, are the new normal. Pricing your home correctly is more important than ever.

The Advantages of Selling Your Canton OH Home this Fall/Winter Season.
1.) The non-serious buyer will buy at the regular time of year.
But during the holidays, they are more serious. They're doing
this because they have to buy, rather than want to buy.
Thus, the quantity of buyers may not be out there during
the holidays however the quality of serious buyers during the
holidays are 500% compared to other times of the year!
2.) Corporations move people
during the holidays because kids are out of
school. Ideally summer is better, but this is
another opportunity to move. If you are
relocating, you will do this at a time when
you aren't working. A holiday is a time
you can scout.
3.) On a prospecting level, people are
home more during the holiday season. If
Realtor's are prospecting and they want
to meet people, these are the months to
meet people.
4.) Job transferees' use the
holidays to house hunt because
January is the biggest transfer month.
5.) Investors usually want to close
escrow by year-end for tax purposes.
6.) Remodeling, decorating,
appliance installation, and other services
are more available and at less of a premium.
7.) Lenders aren't as busy and can process
loans faster.
8.) Homes show well when
decorated for the holidays.
9.) Showings will be fewer and less intrusive, but more
likely to be fruitful with motivated, qualified buyers.
10.) There is less competition with
fewer homes on the market.
11.) If you are moving up, you
can save thousands.
12.) Holidays offer great networking opportunities!
You'll see more people this time of the year than any
other time and be able to discuss your business and
spread the word about your inventory!
13.) Interest rates just fell again
- to 4.19%.
14.) You beat the rush of inventory
that is coming next year.
15.) You have less ‘discounted'
inventory with which to compete.
Bottom Line!
If you are looking to sell in the near future, there may not be a more
opportune time than this Season. Serious buyers, great move-up
deals and less competition from foreclosures creates the perfect selling
situation. Don't miss it!

My achey breaky heart in Canton Ohio Real Estate

My buyer didn't have a computer and liked to drive by the homes to look at the outside first. This worked out well for both of us. More work for me, because I couldn't put her on automatic email campaign, I'm previewing all houses before I call her based on her specifications.
"Hi Buyer, I said, I've got some more houses for you to see."
"Oh Hi Deb, my buyer said, we were just having lunch to celebrate the successful home inspection. I love my new house."
I felt my head spin round like in some exorcist movie. Taking a deep breath, I said "what are you talking about. What house? Why didn't you call me?" The kick in the stomach was when she said,what ever agent sent me a house that I liked, I went with that agent. You were just one of many agents helping me. I was one of many helping her! The house she purchased was against every thing she said she wanted. It was on a busy street with no fenced private back yard in an area of town she didn't want.
I wanted to say, "whadda you mean, you wrote an offer with someone else. We have an exclusive buyer agency agreement in place. (Unfortunately it had been in place for three months and expired the day the offer went pending Hmmm!) I thought we had a relationship. We've written two offers ( that you lowballed), we talked twice a week about what she wanted. We previewed countless homes. I met her family. I thought I was her Realtor.
Where did I go wrong?
