and the
homes that are being sold are being sold very close the original list price
(The DOM/CDOM feature is currently not being calculated correctly so unfortunately we do not know exactly how long homes are sitting on the market. (DOM/CDOM = DaysOnMarket/CumulativeDaysOnMarket))
(96-99% of List Price). So the current market
conditions would definitely NOT be considered a "buyer's market." This is not meant to be bad news. There ARE many homes for sale in the area, it
just means that when we find the right home for you and your family, we will
need to act quickly and submit a "SOLID" offer. I just closed escrow on a home here in Simi
after looking for close to a year with a client. I share this with you to try and shorten the "learning
curve" for you. It can be a very
frustrating process if we bid on a few houses, and we are consistently outbid
because we are not sensitive to current market conditions. Please review the attached data carefully so we
can successfully bid on and close escrow on the home of your choice. J
Some of the things that we can do to make your offer on a
home more attractive, is to do some of the homework and get PreApproved with a
lender. If you are already PreApproved
with a lender of your choice, that is GREAT!
If you would like a few names of some of my lender contacts, please just
let me know and I can put you in touch with some great lenders.
As always, if you know anyone looking to buy or sell real estate, please have them shoot me a text. I LOVE my job and I love helping families buy their next home!
Thanks,
Brett
