Housing shortage worsens – New York and New Jersey had 497 new jobs and only 13229 new single family permits issued. It will be years if not decades to rectify.
No silver lining – New home sales down 18% year over year 7.16% interest rates – tanks refinances and demand! All cash buyers – are they worried about catching a falling knife – interesting term

Tech Tip
BombBomb
Customer communication in our industry has become awash with drip campaigns filled with automated property updates, impersonal emails, and scripted texts. To stand out from your competition, personal connection and authentic communication have never been more needed. This is the gap that BombBomb fills.
BombBomb’s software allows you to record a video message from your computer or phone making it simple to add a human touch to your emails or texts. Plain text emails can be misunderstood or come off as cold, but video emails allow the client to see and feel your excitement, energy, and passion for the home they are considering buying or selling.
You have the option to record a straight video of you speaking to them via the camera or to share your screen. These are a few examples of ways BombBomb videos can help you stand out above your competition:
- Video introduction to a new lead
- Screen share to discuss a contract or listing agreement
- Screen share aerial maps to show how close schools, work, or desirable amenities are from a home
- Video unsolicited CMAs
- Video updates to listing or buyer clients
If you’re looking for the best way possible to connect or reconnect with real estate clients/prospects, BombBomb is the tool for you.

“If we could just pick this house up and put it down there”
Me too! That is one of the challenging aspects of buying a home in this market— You already know the 3 things that determine a home’s value: Home, Price, and Location. Usually, when I chat with buyers like yourself about this, I ask them if there are 2 of the 3 things that are really important. What are the 2 non-negotiable items?

When they state something as an absolute “I have to have a large yard”
Try “How important is it to have a large yard?” and then “ Could you Describe your Ideal yard to me please.”
This gives you some information and helps you help the client quantify what they want.

“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.
