Conversation Advancer of the Week:
“I’m a year or so out from buying”
This is a stall – their monkey mind is just keeping them safe – ask a great question that brings them into the pre-frontal cortex:
“Just out of curiosity what’s magical about a year or so? If we could get you approved for a loan with these low-interest rates, get you into a great home, and show you how that’s cheaper than renting would you be willing to take a look?”

Pretty Cool report from the NAR (yet another reason your dues dollars are well spent) Good info graphics to share with your clients/customers and the full report is downloadable. I’m surprised that hardwood floors are the most effect cost return wise. Real really cool feature is the Joy return – what a great concept (top return – kitchen remodels)
CITI and Bank of America offering programs for buyers with little or no credit – easier qualifying, lower downpayment, and no mortgage insurance. It was interesting that the press initially reported theses as only for Black and Hispanics but they were wrong. Fact Check everything before you spend energy on it!
Inventory up 27% nationwide – its time to work on how to keep listings happy and get price reductions – ask me for a free report .
Mortgage rates at highest level since 2008 – make sure your buyers shop around as rates are varied from company to company.

We need to net more money!
I hear you. More money is important. Is that correct? Im just curious, how would you know if more money wasn’t possible?
(Listen to their answer, be ok with silence)
Saying you need to price your home determined upon what you need is almost like believing the market cares what you need, when in fact the market doesn’t take action on what we, as a seller needs. Based upon my professional and skillful analysis your next best step is to put the home on the market, Mr and Mrs Smith, for $XXX

Canary in the Real Estate Coal mine has been San Diego for Decades – this video explains housing’s hot market and return to normal. I like the “starter home concept.”
More on the new normal – with rates higher (but still great rates historically) price appreciation will slow down.
Misleading headline designed to get readers – it could have said – “Home Sellers still getting 99% of asking prices”.
Generally not a fan of housing as an investment even Goldman Sachs is saying prices will only flatten
MLS listed homes sell for more (send this to all your prospects)

I don’t want to give it away.
And I certainly don’t want you to ‘give it away’ either.
So when you bought this home for $250K 7 years ago, did you ever think that your home would almost double in value in such a short period of time?
Congratulations you won a real estate lottery!
And so when the market price appears to be closer to $510K (as the buyers are telling us), are you really giving your property away? Why don’t we take a look at how you can best take advantage of today’s market and get exactly what you’re looking for.

Should you buy or rent in this savage market? The comments are ridiculous but we need to be able to answer “hesitant” buyers concerns.
Rents set record high – remind your buyers that renting costs more year after year
If this is a recession its a weird one. Go about 1:40 into the video – number of sales have declined.

TECH IDEA
Look at 25 year mortgages for your buyers.
Points charged are less and the interest rate is lower and easier to buy down. And the mortgage is paid off 5 years sooner. Meaning equity grows faster.
For example – currently the 30 year fixed is 6% and 1 point. 25 year is 5.75% and no points (saving $4,000 upfront on a $400,000 mortgage.). The payments are then $2,399 for a 30 year fixed and $2517 for the 25 year fixed loan. So you could save $4,000 upfront and pay $118 a month more and break even at about 3 years. But if you put the same point of expense towards a buy down the 25 year rate to about 5.0% the 25 year payment goes down to $2,339. Saving $60 a month and paying it off 5 years earlier! On the 30 year 6% portion after 10 years you’ve paid off $68200 and with the 25 year same points at 5% you’ll have paid off $92,400.
If the numbers are confusing talk to your local lender and have them explain it.

Conversation Advancer of the Week:
Setting the Stage on a price lower than what the sellers expect.
“Wow, thanks for showing me your home. As we getting into my professional pricing analysis I said WOW! I see you bought the home in September of 2017 for $340,000. If you had known then that the value in 5 years would be over $520,000 you would’ve been thrilled – that’s like $35,000 a year in appreciation. Congratulations. Heres my spreadsheet showing you what your homes value is today.”
This can lessen the disappointment or “Im losing money” when they expected the home to be worth $600,000.

A nationwide number of home sales down 20.2% And the median price rose 10.8% from July to July! Do you know these stats for your service area? (Ours is down 36% and number of sales up 15% in median price)
What do you all think about this lawsuit? Brand protection for real estate advertising. This could lead to a kerfuffle.
Is the market going to see declining prices? For builders maybe

Imagine you are a FSBO and receive a picture with VoiceOver telling
the seller much you like their house/ad/trees etc.
Ice Breaker???

Conversation Advancer of the Week:
When you hear something SO WRONG!!!!
Be gracious and spacious when encountering a belief that is wrong.
I often hear a FSBO or another client say something that is 100% wrong. The BACKFIRE EFFECT can come into play if I use the wrong language. Anything that is controversial can close off space and cause the client to get defensive and will even solidify their erroneous belief. Correcting misinformation hardens, rather than corrects, someones mistaken belief (just look at any comments on a controversial post on Facebook.) Try using “would you be willing to consider…” and “You may be right …” and “others thought that way and then found …” and experience the space and grace it allows.
