Buying & Selling
Home Prices Keep Rising,
Slowly
A slight slowdown in home-price increases signifies a return to a more balanced market
H
ome prices across the country continue to increase, but at a more moderate pace, per the findings of a survey. The composite indices – one measuring 10 cities, the other 20 cities – gained, respectively, 9.4 percent and 9.3 percent in May, a significant drop from the 10.9 percent and 10.8 percent returns recorded in April, thus ending a 14-month streak of double-digit, year-over-year increases in home prices. While many interpret these findings as a sign that the housing recovery is taking a step back, others say these numbers represent positive news. “This is an indication that we’re moving toward a more balanced market. The latest report still shows a strong market with solid growth,” says Karen Krupsaw, vice president of real estate operations in Washington, D.C. “It’s also an indication that last year’s numbers were inflated, and now we are seeing the return of healthier market conditions.” Jim Esposito, agent in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, agrees.

“It shows the market is consolidating instead of building toward another bubble. We are coming out of a severe slump, and it is only natural for home values to bounce sharply off the very bottom,” Esposito says. The moderation of home-price appreciation “suggests a market that’s behaving the way housing markets have normally behaved over time – as prices increased, demand weakened, and prices either came back down or price appreciation slowed. That’s what we’re seeing now,” says Rick Sharga. For buyers who suffered from buyer fatigue in 2013 or who got priced out of the market and decided to postpone their plans to purchase a new home, the upside is that they’re now more apt to enter the market under these current conditions, Krupsaw says. However, this is still clearly a seller’s market, “so it’s more likely that buyers will pay top dollar for a home than it is sellers will have to offer a discount,” adds Sharga.

How Much Mortgage You Can Afford
Bert Clay 360.202.5430 Homesanacortes.com
By knowing how much mortgage you can handle, you can ensure that home ownership will fit in your budget.
WELCOME TO PARADISE! 506 Colville Way, La Conner
Enjoy the charm of La Connor and the luxury of Shelter Bay! Spacious 4 bedroom home with fully finished lower level. Entertain, relax and enjoy this well- appointed home. Very close to marina and park. $399,500 MLS 643427
Homeownership should make you feel safe and secure, and that includes financially. Be sure you can afford your home by calculating how much of a mortgage you can safely fit into your budget. Instead of just taking out the biggest mortgage a lender qualifies you to borrow, consider how much you want to pay each month for housing based on your financial and personal goals. Think ahead to major life events and consider how those might influence your budget. Do you want to return to school for an advanced degree? Will a new child add day care to your monthly expenses? Does a relative plan to eventually live with you and contribute to the mortgage? Still not sure how much you can afford? You can use the same formulas that most lenders use, or try traditional methods for estimating the amount of mortgage you can afford. See these formulas and more at: http://buyandsell.houselogic.com Mission Statement: The Nor th Puget Sound Association of Realtor s advocates for Realtor s and their clients, provides services to help members prosper, and promotes the protection of property rights.

You should ask your broker for the typical number of days a home remains on the market in your community. Nationwide, according to the National Association of Realtors, existing homes in May were on the market for 47 days before receiving an offer. However, markets vary enormously, and what’s “usual” for your market We listed our home for sale with a local broker, might be very different. and during the first week he placed the property Now let’s talk about the buyers. in the MLS and has shown it several times.

move in their furniture will hide such alleged imperfections, and once hidden they likely will not bother with the cost of painting things, which will never be seen. As to the purchaser who was disappointed because you do not have marble counter tops in the kitchen, you can safely ignore such complaints. If the buyer was seriously interested in the property and capable of making an offer he or she would’ve said, “Hey, we’ll take the house if the owner will give us a 2-percent seller contribution.” In other words, the buyer could offer to purchase the house in exchange for a credit from the owner at settlement equal to 2 percent of the sale price. The buyer could then use this credit to fix up the house as they want or for other purposes. For details regarding seller contributions as a bargaining chip speak with your broker.

Selling
How Low Should Your Price Go? E
very seller wants their home to move quickly, but for homes that linger on the market longer than anticipated, a price reduction may help speed up the sale. Here’s what to know about dropping your asking price The goal of every home sale is to sell high, but when a house lingers on the market for longer than anticipated, the sellers may need to consider a price reduction. Reducing your asking price, however, is a move that has to be handled carefully and timed appropriately, say real estate experts. Ask different real estate agents when they advise making a price cut, and you’ll get a variety of recommendations – although the general consensus is within a few weeks of listing a home for sale. “It depends on the local market, how many days on the market that are typical for the region, how the property compares to other similar homes that have received offers, and other factors,” says Cori McGrath, Realtor in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “If a home has had several showings with no offers and has no other stigmas, then it’s time to drop the price.” For Greg Williamson in New York, a solid month is the rule of thumb. “If there is no offer in four weeks, then it’s most likely not priced right,” Williamson says. If the seller needs to move quickly, a price reduction may be necessary much sooner – every 10 to 14 days, suggests Sue Goodhart, an agent with McEnearney Associates, Inc., in Alexandria, Virginia. When it comes to deciding the amount to discount, agents equally differ in opinion. “The reduction has to be meaningful but not necessarily a set number,” says Glenn S. Phillips, in Birmingham, Alabama. “It’s often based on how off the market the home is prior to a reduction, so a set percentage can be dangerous. For example, a 10-percent reduction on a home that is priced 20 percent
August 29, 2014
above the market is not as meaningful as 5 percent off a home that is already at expected market pricing.” McGrath says most properties in her area sell within 5 percent of the listing price, “so I typically recommend a reduction of about half that (2.5 percent).” However, many professionals caution that listing prices (including reduced prices) should fall within big, round numbersearch parameters so that house hunters shopping online – where most home shopping begins – can more easily find the property for sale. “A home priced at $412,000 would not appear in searches for homes priced at $400,000 and less, so a reduction to $402,000, for example, still does not introduce the home to buyers that top out at $400,000,” says Phillips.” Given the current real estate climate, which favors sellers in many markets, a price cut may not be needed at all – especially if the home was priced correctly from the start based on comparable properties, low inventory/high demand conditions, and the patience of the seller. But sellers that are considering a discount should consult closely with their agents. “The consideration should never be, ‘Let’s cut a little and hope it gains attention.’ It should always be, ‘What positions this house over the competition for buyers’ attention and money,’” Phillips says. Before making a reduction, think about how it might impact the ultimate sales price, be aware of your bottom line, and allow for some wiggle room in negotiations. Lastly, realize that there’s no shame and little risk in having to lower your price. “One or two price reductions are fine – it shows that you are a real seller,” Williamson says. “However, three or more price cuts suggest a desperate seller, lack of confidence and that the property was priced incorrectly from the onset. So, it’s better to do one substantial price cut rather than two or more.”
