Russell Prun…, Real Estate Pro in Greenwich

Why do you think Buyers are not out in the market buying a home at this time?

Asked Sun Nov 16 2008, 13:24 by Russell Prun…  -  06830  -  Home Buying  -  9 answers
Emily Medvec answered:
I see just the opposite, Buyers are in our local market today. Remember, all real estate is local as is how the local economy further impacts the local real estate market. The big difference is real estate has changed and many brokerages and realtors have not adapted to both the economic and technological changes in buying and selling real estate. Buyers have zillions of choices for information including property web sites, trulia, zillow, yahoo as well as featured and showcase listings on realtor.com plus syndication plus blogs and microblogging sites. They are no longer simply picking the up the phone and calling a realtor for help. However, they are looking and if they are qualifed they are buying when they see a deal. Unlike most sellers, they are more familiar with the range of information online and they are using it to their competitive advantage in this buyers market. For example, they know when a home is overpriced. They know how to get market information and are less dependent on realtors who at times do not respond to an email or text or a phone call. I would recommend a re-look at your business plan and a re-focus on what you are doing to connect with them differently. Good luck, Emily Medvec - Sun Nov 16 2008, 17:52
Katrina, Home Seller in Salt Lake City, UT/...

I am at the end of my rope.

Asked Sun Nov 16 2008, 11:05 by Katrina  -  Salt Lake City  -  Home Selling  -  11 answers
Emily Medvec answered:
Your situation challenging but not impossible. I recommend your Realtor give you a current and detailed market analysis focusing on days on market and absorption rate for your home in your location (not just your neighborhood). At the same time discuss with them what the current marketing plan is to sell your home. For example, where and how online is it being advertised? What is the feedback you are getting from open houses. Does your home have a property web site? Then, how can the current plan be improved. Second, I would talk to your lender about your situation and see if you can renegotiate your loan (not refinance). Third, I would talk with your accountant and/or CPA and discuss the impact of selling your home at any size loss.
I get the impression from your question that you would benefit from knowing ALL your options first before counting on another price change to make a difference. Good luck, Emily Medvec - Sun Nov 16 2008, 17:30
Mildred Mark…, Home Seller in 11021

What does preforeclosure mean??

Asked Sun Nov 16 2008, 07:08 by Mildred Mark…  -  11023  -  Market Conditions  -  6 answers
Emily Medvec answered:
I recommend you contact YOUR listing agent and ask them for an updated comparative market analysis on the pricing of your home (past six months) and also for information on what is happening in your local market, such as days on market for homes like yours and the absorption rate, plus the number of homes in pre-foreclosure or lis pends and homes that are now bank owned and on the market. It is critical for homeowners to know about the competition in their market coming from pre-foreclosures and bank owned homes. An updated comparative market analysis is a good way for you to be more informed. Good luck. Emily Medvec - Sun Nov 16 2008, 08:20
Pj, Home Buyer in Canton

On a short sale pre-forecloser can the seller (morg. holder) ask for more money after the contract has been

Asked Sun Nov 16 2008, 04:21 by Pj  -  Canton  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Emily Medvec answered:
In my experience, a short sale needs the final approval of the lender or lenders involved. I wonder if both parties (buyer, homeowner) are being represented in the transaction by Realtors experienced in short sales. I certainly would recommend you contact local real estate attorney to review any contracts and agreements you have signed and to obtain legal advice as to your options and obligations. Good luck.

consumer inquiries

Emily Medvec answered:
I think in this new landscape of real estate it is important not to stereotype "customers" or Realtors. Everyone is different and in a marketplace that is driven by media news stories, blogs, portal sites such as Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo and others, as Realtors, we now have a different way to communicate with strangers. In my opinion, the bottom line is all about trust and respect. My advice, re-visit your business model and make different choices. After all, I believe we have the business we create. Good luck, Emily Medvec - Fri Nov 14 2008, 15:17
