Buyers and Sellers Need To Know The Current Trending Market Conditions...Oh Yeah!

Have you noticed how hard it is to work with our clients lately. I'm like so amazed at what the market conditions bring to us as opportunity....very unrealistic buyers and sellers that still do not understand our current market.

I do understand both positions for the buyer and the seller and what can I say but that it is a HARD market. You must as a buyer be realistic in knowing market value and how that relates to a SCREAMING DEAL and a well priced home that is not in hardship. You need to be knowledgeable about REOs and Short Sales and the pit falls for both.

As a seller you need to know that market value minus 3 to 5% below that market value will work if your property is in excellent condition, in a desired location and you have an Realtor that knows how to target market the buyer with the best blow-out marketing.

I really do ask my clients lately whether after a description on the market conditions, if they are comfortable and can work within these conditions and do understand the trending market. When that answer does not measure up then I would rather not work with the client. The harsh truth is I will not be able to help them.

It seems harsh, however it will not benefit the client or me. I believe in providing knowledge-based services to help my client understand the nature of the real estate trending market and to reach their goals as quickly and safely as possible. That means HOW TO BUY and HOW TO SELL in the present market!
