METHOD USED TO SELL HOME, BY SELLER URGENCY... Statistics LAS Vegas

01-12-08
Arina S. Hanciulescu

METHOD USED TO SELL HOME, BY SELLER URGENCY

The majority of Sellers are using an agent or a broker. If the property is priced right, it will sell within 30 days.

Interesting to see that when a sellers are somewhat motivates or in dear emergency, they try to sell themselves the property only to find out that an agent representation and expertise is more important to successfully sell.

As for FSBO sellers would sell, without a real estate agent, only 4% but not the other way around. Listing the home with a agent and later selling the property by themselves...

Arina S. Hanciulescu

The statistic shows the trends in real estate information sources.

Overwhelmingly statistic shows the Internet marketing as the most powerful tool in today's buying market. The chart show the undeniable trends and the clear preferences consumers have for the Internet approach to buying a home

  • If you, as an real estate agent, are not on the Internet bandwagon and if you can't be found by people searching for homes on the Internet, you are completely "missing the boat" in the real estate business. 63% Real Estate Agents services are selected from the Internet.
  • Agents who utilize online marketing and have Internet buyers are more liked, more highly regarded, more likely to have a repeat sale with the client.

Internet buyers said that the response time was extremely important. 83% of those buyers chose email as their favored communication method with their agent. 0% chose "in person."

The old practices as: Advertising on Magazines, Open Houses, Yard Sign or even Television are over turned by the "new trends" of electronic information and fast delivery of services.

  • The money you may spend on brochures, ads, newspaper ads, and the like should be reconsidered and placed into Internet Marketing.

Las Vegas Housing Market Outlook ... for 2008

01-02-08
Arina S. Hanciulescu

Several positive developments in the credit market will pave the way for improving housing market conditions going into 2008. The worst in the credit crunch of August is clearly over. Markets, therefore, have settled down and mortgage rates have trend back down to about 6.3% on conforming loans - near historic lows.

Though the credit problems appear to be over, there is an overhang that looms large that could hamper housing market recovery. Inventory is high. But many people live in the homes that are listed for sale. These people are homesellers as well as homebuyers. A bigger concern on inventory is on newly constructed homes because they are purely vacant. Builders will be forced to provide more incentives and price cutting to attract buyers.

New Home Sales declined 8.3% in August to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 795,000 units. The sales pace of new homes was down 21.2% from year-ago levels. The inventory of new homes available for sale rose 7.9% to a 8.2 month supply. With tighter credit standards -particularly related to the subprime loans and jumbo loans - the demand for new homes will continue to tread on the low side over the next three months.

Despite all the "negative" media coverage on housing, home prices in the region have largely held on onaverage. There are neighborhoods where home price declines are notable, and REALTORS® can pinpoint those areas. One principal reason for price stability on Las Vegas housing market is due to the fundamentally sound local economy. Employment increased by 1,391 jobs in Clark County during July and August. However, the number of job seekers also increased. The combined effect of these two trends was an increase in the average monthly unemployment rate from 4.4% for the second quarter to 5.1% in the first two months of the third quarter. The solid job growth will help to build housing demand, while historically low mortgage rates should continue to spur sales.

However, the pent-up demand is strong (from accumulated job gains) and the recovery is around the corner. Expect measurably higher home sales next year.
