Keeping it real (estate) with Jo Parker

Have I got FOMO or FOOP?

(And is it contagious?)

Who doesn’t love a good acronym? Especially when they are as cute as FOMO and FOOP. I’m sure you know what FOMO is. We were experiencing it way back in the different world of the ‘vid. Remember those crazy precovid days when we used to recklessly blow out candles on a cake and kiss on first dates? Crazy stuff. Fear Of Missing Out - whether it was real coffee or your dream home – FOMO was real. For a while it was fun - who doesn’t love bunny ears or drinking wine from your coffee mug on Zoom? Our homes became our cocoons – our bubbles. Then they became our obsession.

Kiwis wanting their own land, bricks and mortar isn’t a new thing. But being prepared to pay anything for a home felt new. Houses were selling so fast, that people felt pressure to be ‘cashed up’, missed out if they weren’t quick enough, dared to get a builder’s report (while the other buyer took the risk), wouldn’t pay a huge premium, or (heaven forbid) had a house to sell first.

Buyers would buy anything. Mould? “A bit of colour and texture is nice”. Leaks? “Ooh, a water feature!”. About to fall down? “I’ve been meaning to get into DIY”…and so the buyer-logic went. Buying a house was hard Jo Parker Residential Sales Consultant

but mortgages were cheap. Now, buying is easier and mortgages are hard to get.

So when did FOMO become FOOP? We all went to the beach last summer and came back to a dramatically different real estate market. A light switch was flicked over Christmas. Legislation changed, we could travel, living costs and interest rates rising all meant the balance of power changed. Buyers weren’t prepared to pay above the odds and FOOP was born. FOOP (as cute as it sounds) is the Fear Of Over-Paying (imagine ominous music for dramatic effect). Buyers are currently, understandably, terrified of over-paying.

However, if you’ve found a home you love and plan to stay in for some time, and can afford the mortgage, don’t let a psychosomatic case of FOOP stop you from buying it. Don’t miss out because you couldn’t get it at a bargain basement price. Pop in a cheeky offer, but be prepared to negotiate up to $1 under what you would be happy to miss out on it by.

Are FOMO and FOOP contagious? Absolutely. Social distance from both. I wonder what our next (hopefully even cuter) acronym will be? Next time we’ll see how real estate is like the rose ceremonies on The Bachelor. Until then, have a great week, Jo

Are you ready for a courageous conversation?

It’s my catch cry at the moment to our Sales Associates – Are you having Courageous Conversations? In challenging times of real estate when the elephant is in the room, you need to speak about it! Wherever you sit in the process – agent, seller or buyer the important conversations are not the easy ones.

You will have read a variety of commentary from our media on the state of our property market, values down, volumes down, cost of servicing a mortgage up. While it’s easy to put a negative spin for click bait purposes, and not tell the full picture within property stories for e ect, the facts are still the facts. On the flip side, many of my peers in the world of real estate talk of not focusing on the negatives, seek out the positives and spin the commentary the other way in order to keep our people and our market upbeat and moving. I espouse telling it how it is, very dependent on circumstance of the customer, the property and the dynamics that are at play at a given time.

At a micro level I know there will be sales people / agents who will spin the positives to the extreme, including using old sales statistics, or conveniently not including the most current sales, and low and behold value a prospective vendors property on the upside in order to inflate the appraised value, inflate expectation and win the listing. Did I say that? Surely professional sales people wouldn’t do such a thing? I guess the key word is professional. Appraisals are not an exact science, so we need to accept that in a declining market we are not going to get it right all the time, but unlike the 2021 rising market where if one undercooked it the result was generally one of elation anyway, the result at the end of the sales process in 2023 could be like eating sour grapes. If a seller has an expectation somewhat higher than market reality they need to know!

In our sales and training meetings we talk of ensuring we are the trusted advisor, if the advice is “don’t bring your home to the market” – give it. Knowledge and expertise from your salesperson, their colleagues, management and the support available to the

customer is fundamental in selecting who you work with amongst a myriad of real estate companies and agents. No time is more important than now, as the market continues to be unpredictable. While it is important that your salesperson is ‘nice’ and communicates well, sometimes nice on its own doesn’t sell a home or maximise value. Only when you have knowledge and expertise can you put a strategy together for a specific vendor and home, in order to then implement it e ectively.

Maximising value comes down to a number of factors, including choosing the right method of sale that’s fit for the property and fit for the purchasers most likely to have interest and seeking such a home. A salesperson who is a one trick pony might not have the skillset. Detailing the home, the specifications and considering defects before they are discovered in the selling phase by purchasers and become barriers to the sale, or barriers to optimising sales value is vital. Conversations about contentious building materials must be had. Perhaps the most important skillset currently is the art of negotiation, and it is probably one of the biggest gaps in many agents repertoire. Negotiation is not always meeting in the middle! Sales methods and negotiations is a vast topic, and I’ll leave it for next time.
