The Local Real Estate Market shocked us once again as the amount of new single family homes coming on the market dropped nearly 300%. Interest rates nudged downward with the brightest stat being the amount of homes going under contract increased this week over last week. Looking at how many homes are for sale, the number dropped 27% to only 44 single family homes for sale right now in Manchester NH   Today we want to talk about asking prices. Many homes that have been on the market a while have dropped in price. Looking at new listings we are seeing 3 trends. Those who price the home at actual market price. Then there are those over pricing their home from the start. On the flip side we are seeing people under pricing their home, not really knowing what their home was worth in today's ...

A close friend calls and asks why I did not warn him? I knew what he meant as the previous month he must have asked me 100 questions about selling his home. His wife though, hired her childhood friend who just passed her real estate exam to list their home.  How hard could it be? Homes are selling themseleves these days.. right? They are learning how hard it can be. They are Buying a house too. They need to sell this home to buy a new home. They also do not want to sell until they find a home to buy. A delicate balancing act but one i handle near every day. But they signed the listing with the newbie before they found a home. Now the broker is making them sell. Does not sound right to me.... Then lets look at their asking price. I sold another home on their street. I would list it for $...

What if someone in a home had Covid 19 and now is recovered and is clear. Can that home be put up for sale? Would the seller have to disclose that fact? Let me share a story how it was not handled right killing that deal. The phone rang and it sounded like a war. With uncertain times, comes uncertain answers. First it may depend on what the state law is. Here in NH on basic items, only defects in the home have to be disclosed. Having recovered from Covid is not one of them... There is a "how ever" though. The owner should be honest when asked.  Here is the short story, the home owner listed with a friend of his wife. A newer agent anxious for her first sale. The sellers had covid and were now clear, so listed. The house needs work so there would not be any bidding wars here. It was too ...

A friends wife calls and she is in tears. WHY did I not tell her all the pit falls of Selling a home. Her sale just died and she can not reach her agent. Wait, she did not list with me. She listed with a co-workers sister who just started in Real Estate. In today's Real Estate Market in the Manchester NH area market, the easy part can be finding a buyer. The hardest parts are getting to and from listing to closing without major issues, stress or the sale falling apart. LETS TAKE A LOOK AT SOME COMMON ISSUES YOU NEED TO KNOW >>>BEFORE<<< YOU LIST YOUR HOME. 1. COMMUCICATION: The #1 issue I hear, is the lack of service from the agent they hired. Their agent does not answer the phone. Does not return texts or emails. Basically no updates on what is going on. What comes next? or What is nee...

I got a message from a friend who wants to sell their home. But his wife wanted to list with a friend of hers who just started selling Real Estate. Before I could ask him why he is reaching out to me, he said it is not going well. He does not think they know what they are doing. He also things they are not getting any support.   They listed the house 2 weeks ago. The first week they made buyers wait to see it until an open house. Now they have nearly 50 offers but the agent keeps showing the house. I wondered why they have not accepted at least one of these offers? The seller said they do not know which one to pick as the agent said to keep getting offers. How many more offers do they need? He then said he is hearing from many angry buyer agents and buyers who are asking the same thing...

With more Buyers than houses for sale in a lot of areas. Buyers are finding it hard to find available homes. They are finding it even harder to get an offer accepted.  There are new home listing s hitting the market daily. There are offers being accepted. Despite that, many buyers can not get their offers accepted. Some are very frustrated. SO much, that some are asking "how I am getting my offers accepted?" The secret is to write better offers. That is followed by "my buyer agent did." But did they? I list and sell just as many homes as a Listing agent. I want to tell you how many "not so good" offers I get when faced with getting 10 or even 20 offers in the first day or two of listing. The buyer is often left to ask why their offer was not accepted.  IN SUMMARY to get an offer accepte...

With a full day of showing homes Saturday, something happened I have never seen before. We drove up to an upscale home in a wonderful neighborhood. There were cars parked almost a mile away with people wanting to get in. We walked around the outside and got in line to go inside. After a short wait we were in the home with wall to wall people. Then a lady came around and entered through a back sliding door. She promptly announced "she was buying this home and all other buyer can just leave." I was waiting for the laugh but she was serious. She wanted other buyers to get out of the home and out of her way. Standing like a wall she was not getting through me. My buyers got to see the home and we headed out a side door. The agent holding the open house had no control. They lost control the ...

A Home Owner called and said they wanted to Sell their home. However there was a condition. I would have to provide a negative test to be able to go inside their home. They went as far as saying any buyer who wanted to see their home, would also have to provide a negative test.  I have not had any seller request this before. Before we get into testing, I need some more information. Are you looking to sell now? They said yes. Next, i asked if they already had a new home to move to, or do they need assistance in finding one. They will be moving in with their daughter. Then they and their daughter will search for a new home with an inlaw area. Their daughter would then need to sell their home.   The next set of questions was to learn more about their house. They enjoyed telling me about al...
