A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT Jonathan R. Krause -

THE HOUSE OF THE FUTURE? I happened to see a segment recently on 60 Minutes about a new method of building homes. This process is known as 3D printing. It is a technique that has been developed for use in making all sorts of things such as parts for machines, cars, and more. 3D printing uses a computer guided nozzle to precisely lay down material layers on top of each other to eventually form complex parts.

Now this process has been super-sized to build homes out of a special concrete mixture. For example, a company out of Austin, Texas is developing an entire community of homes using this innovative 3D printing method.

To provide some context of where the home building industry was 100 years ago when Frank Gambino built his first new home, take a look at the photo of two men and a horse digging out a basement. The horse would pull a bucket that would scrape out a layer of dirt and then dump it off to the side. This process would be repeated over and over again until the hole was deep enough. (Kind of like 3D printing in reverse!) Unfortunately, the horse drawn bucket could only make a bowl-shaped hole, and men would then hand dig the corners to make the basement. It was back breaking labor!

There have been many improvements to home building in the last 100 years, but the basic design has remained relatively unchanged. Will a 3D printed house be the future? Only time and American ingenuity will tell.

Gambino Realtors is proud to have been a part of growing the Rockford area for 100 years, and we look forward to continuing that tradition for the next 100.

Jonathan R. Krause, President Gambino Realtors

HOME PRICES ARE NOT FALLING "Home prices aren’t falling anymore. . . The surprisingly quick recovery suggests that the residential real-estate downturn is turning out to be shorter and shallower than many housing economists expected . . ."

D

uring the fourth quarter of last year, some housing experts projected home prices were going to crash in 2023. The media ran with those forecasts and put out headlines calling for doom and gloom in the housing market. All of this negative news coverage made a lot of people have doubts about the strength of the residential real estate market.

If it made you question if you should delay your own plans to move, here’s what you really need to know.

Home Prices Never Crashed Disregard what you saw in the headlines. The actual data shows home prices were remarkably resilient and performed far better than the media would have you believe (see Exhibit A on right page).

This graph uses reports from three trusted sources to clearly illustrate

prices have already rebounded after experiencing only slight declines nationally. That’s a far cry from the crash so many articles called for.

The declines that did happen (shown in red), weren’t drastic but were short-lived. As Nicole Friedman, a reporter at the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), says: “Home prices aren’t falling anymore. . . The surprisingly quick recovery suggests that the residential real-estate downturn is turning out to be shorter and shallower than many housing economists expected . . .”

Even though some media coverage made a big deal about home prices pulling back, the slight correction that happened is already in the rearview mirror.

Basically, this data shows you home prices aren’t falling anymore – they’re actually going back up.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

What’s Next for Home Prices?

The consensus from experts is that home price growth will continue in the years ahead and is returning to normal levels for the market. That means we’ll still see home prices appreciating, just at a slower pace than the last few years – and that’s a good thing.

indicates that’s ticked back up recently (shown in red). This change is surprising especially since the home price data shows prices are going up, not down. It tells you the impact the media still has on public opinion.

Some news sources will see home price growth slowing and put out stories that make you think prices are falling again. The return of misleading headlines like those is already having an impact on how homebuyers are feeling again. You can see how this affects general opinion in the Consumer Confidence Survey from Fannie Mae (see Exhibit B above).

Don’t fall for the negative headlines and become part of this statistic.

Remember, data from a number of sources shows home prices aren’t falling anymore.

While the percentage of Americans who think prices will fall has been slowly declining this year, the latest Consumer Confidence data

Even though the media may make things sound doom and gloom, the data shows home prices aren’t falling anymore. So, don’t let the headlines scare you or delay your plans. Let's connect so you have a trusted resource to cut through the noise and tell you what’s really happening in our area.

KEY SKILLS YOU NEED YOUR LISTING AGENT TO HAVE

S

elling your house is a big decision. And that can make it feel both exciting and a little bit nerve-wracking. But the key to a successful sale is finding the perfect listing agent to work with you throughout the process. A listing agent, also known as a seller's agent, helps market and sell your house while advocating for you every step of the way.

But, how do you know you've found the perfect match in an agent? Here are three key skills you’ll want your listing agent to have.

They Price Your House Based on The Latest Data While it may be tempting to pick the agent who suggests the highest asking price for your house, that strategy may cost you. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement when you see a bigger number, but overpricing your house can have consequences. It could mean it’ll sit on the market longer because the higher price is actually deterring buyers.

Instead, you want to pick an agent who’s going to have an open conversation about how they think you should price your house and why. A great agent will base their pricing strategy on solid data. They won't throw out a number just to win your listing.

Instead, they'll show you the facts, explain their pricing strategy, and make sure you're on the same page.

They're a Great Negotiator The home-selling process can be emotional, especially if you’ve been in your house for a long time. You’re connected to it and have a lot of memories there. This can make the negotiation process harder. That’s where a trusted professional comes in.

A skilled listing agent will be calm under pressure and will be your point-person in all of those conversations. Their experience in handling the back-and-forth gives you with the peace of mind that you've got someone on your side who’s got your best interests in mind throughout this journey.

They're a Skilled Problem Solver At the heart of it all, a listing agent's main priority is to get your house sold. A great agent never loses sight of that goal and will help you prioritize your needs above all else.

If they identify any necessary steps you need to take, they’ll be open with you about it.

Their commitment to your success means they'll work with you to address any potential roadblocks and find creative solutions to anything that pops up along the way.

Whether you're a first-time seller or you’ve been through selling a house before, a great listing agent is the key to success. Let’s connect so you have a skilled local expert by your side to guide you through every step of the process.
