2. Needs versus's Wants My personal rule these should be listed in priority. This will determine your price range and will narrow your search down. To have an idea of how the market is moving ask your agent for market reports. Search local tax records. Don't be afraid to ask for numbers and statistics a A great Realtor® will have the data at hand. This is a great time to buy. Interest rates are at historical lows. There are a variety of programs for buyers. Find out how much you qualify for, and most importantly how much down payment and closing costs will you need to purchase. A great mortgage professional will ask the pertinant questions. 5. Start viewing homes. A great Realtor® will listen to your needs and wants list a show you suitable properties. A great Realtor® will also show you properties you have found searching on your own. |
2 calls today - Both super Bizarre -
Early this afternoon I received a call from it went a little something like this:
ME (Rebecca Savitski): This is Rebecca how can I help you?
Caller: Um yeah we are looking for this subdivision in Granville County we saw on the web, can you give us directions.
ME (Rebecca Savitski): What subdivision are you looking for?
Caller: We found you on Google and read about your sale? And are interested in this subdivision umm its umm..........
ME (Rebecca Savitski): Okay, lets narrow this down give me an idea of what you are looking for so that I can help you with directions for the subdivision and show you the available properties.
Caller: Thats not necessary we are meeting our Agent at the property, thanks anyway?
Click: Was this a joke? Was someone playing a practical joke to see if I could convert this into a sale? Be honest who is behind this!!!!!
ME (Rebecca Savitski): This is Rebecca how can I help you?
Caller: I am in front of this home can you show it to me?
ME (Rebecca Savitski): Ok which home? Who are you?
Caller: 555 Main Street Wake Forest?
ME (Rebecca Savitski): Can I have your name and number I am pulling into the office to gather the necessary information, I will call you back in a few minutes.
Caller: No problem, I will stay here and wait for you to call back.
In the meantime I pull up the address (it doesn't exist) I pull up by street (the street doesn't exist). I call the number back I get this message: "The number you are dialing is no longer in service"
Very freaky day. I am hoping its all just someone being funny but am being very very very careful.
Rember to stay safe while trying to sell Real Estate. Crooks know are need to support are families and to take risks just remember to always be safe..
Raleigh area buyers - the list price is just a thought!
The list price really doesn't mean too much these days. Its a starting point. It gives you an idea of how much the seller would like to sell for, but it doesn't really mean that much anymore.
Lets face it with 18 months of inventory buyers can afford to shop around for the best value. With multiple homes in a neighborhood buyers can make offers on multiple properties until an offer is accepted.
Everyday I examine my "Hot Sheet" (data collected from the Triangle MLS with closed sales, new listings, pending sales, expired sales and change of price) and noticed a few things.
Not that long ago in the Raleigh area sellers were able to receive 97%-100% of their asking price. Even when other parts of the country where experiencing soft markets Raleigh area sellers were still able to receive close to list price. Today buyers are being aggressive. The few buyers that are in the market for a home realize they have buying power.
Today I noticed 3 homes closed on Trades.
1 home was listed at $849,000 and sold for $750,000 (Inside the Beltline)
It doesn't matter the price range see a few examples from closing reported on 1/2/2009 these sales are new and resales throughtout Raleigh, Cary and Wake Forest. This information is not scientific I haven't analyzed it, I did not pick out specific sales just random sales to point out the trends I am noticing and experiencing.
List Price Sales Price $ Difference %
$849,000 $750,000 $99,000 11.66
$449,000 $400,000 $49,000 10.9
$349,900 $325,500 $24.,400 6.9
$324,225 $278,550 $48,675 15%
$114,900 $100,000 $14,900 12.9%
$99,000 $93,000 $6,000 6%
$134,500 $121,500 $13,000 9.66%
The numbers do not lie. We Are In a SERIOUS Buyers Market and Interest Rates are at historical lowes. To search for all Raleigh Area Real Estate visit www.NCListforLessRealty.com.
If you find a home don't hesitate to make an offer!

Rebecca,
Thank you for helping us get into our home. We are very happy Harold is busy in the garage! We cannot thank you enough and realize that without your help we would not have been able to find this home and get the financing.
Thanks
Cathy and Harold
Hey Rebecca,
Eric and I would like to invite you to our wedding picnic. We feel that you are more than just our Realtor but are truly one of our friends. I am sorry I was such a spaz but with the wedding, selling the house, packing, moving, buying the next home I had the right to freak out!! Thanks again and I hope to see you there.
Mr.and Mrs. Campbell
Rebecca, we can't thank you enough for your patience and perseverance during our recent home search! You went above and beyond what we would have expected from a Realtor. You helped us stay within our preset boundaries and commisserated with us when we became discouraged that we would never find the right house. Thank you for realizing that we were more than "tire kickers" and taking the time to help us find just the right home!
Regards,
Marsha and Matt
