I have strategies to get your home sold before the value continues to drop even more.



I'm not going to feed you a bunch of falsehoods, nonsense or baloney just to get a listing. You may not like what I say. My goal is to help Seller's and Buyer's make rational decisions in real estate. When seller's and buyer's connect there needs to be trust through transparency.

Please note...
If your property is currently listed for sale with a Brokerage, or you have an agency buyer agreement that is required by law when working with an agent, please disregard my offers. It is not my intention to solicit the offerings of other realtors you may be working with through an agency relationship agreement. I will be happy to work with them and cooperate fully.

Side Notes 5-26-25

In 2023 I talked about a no body's market, neither a seller market or a buyers market. This no body's market is headed towards a buyers market. Ouch for sellers, BUT you need to price your home to sell, don't chase the market downward. Those in the real estate industry have experenced this, 1981 to 2025

There are personal reasons to buy and sell. What's the motivation for buying and selling and your time frames. Buy for personal
reasons, like job transfers, 1031 exchanges, and other, and knowing you will be in the home for many years.

We have shadow data of 2007-8-9-10. Hate to say this but the market is very interesting.

Those who have had their properties on the market for a while and have expired from the MLS, you need to price the home right and get it sold before July 2025. I stated a while back ago "gone are the days" you appraise your home based on past 180 day data. You have to price your home to sell. You do not want to get stuck in the down turn after July. Based on the data I've been collecting and future consistent trends, you need to consider the trends. 
You do not want to be the highest bidder on your home. You have to feel the pain of the buyer, would you buy your home based on the terms you are trying to sell it at.

Inflation is pushing people out of the market and interest rates will never be at 5% or below 5% ever again, and it will not matter if Trump is in office. He has great ideas, but what's the lag time. Comps are out the window. The longer it sits on the market the less value it has.

I help sellers and buyers make rational decisions in real estate.

The person listing your home may have to take a hit as well. And, don't give me that BS as an agent or brokerage that you de-value yourself if you don't charge a higher commission rate, PEOPLE! rates are negotiable. Great services can be at any rate. Agent's need to help their sellers and we might have to take a hair cut as well. 

107 homes did sell in May, they sold because the list price and the sold price changed. 107 people needed to buy for what ever reason, even dead people sell and buy real estate.

The rejection rate will increase for refinance. Families are strapped with debt and it's domino effect. Based on how I predict the market prices
will continue to drop month by month as I have been
predicting since 2021-24-25.

Purchasing power of the US dollar. Our real estate market, like all markets follows CPI, Click



Baby boomer's. Approx 2800 nation wide are dying or going to rest homes. These home's in most cases will need to be updated and buyers will be asking for reductions due to these
outdated homes. Lowes will love this.

Unfinished and finished unsold homes just built will have an affect on competing homes built and standing for a while. Builders can drop price eaiser than someone with a large home loan.  Prices are continuing to drop month by month since 2022.

I don't suggest testing the market with an over priced home.

notes and comments...

I'm still hearing chatter among people I bump into and their mindset is a bit mixed up. Still hearing from them that interest rates are the problem, again they are not the problem. I've been telling people this since 2023, we have an inflation problem. The more we lower inflation the lower the rates go.  Scroll through the data below. Click on the links going back to 2022-23 below. you will always see rate increase based on... 

The Fed Rev inflation rate  Click here. The inflation rate has to be below 2% to lower rates. The way to stop inflation is found here... https://Doge.gov
 
There is still more inventory then demand and you'll see from the data below, sellers are getting motavated month by month. The data I've been collecting is real and its not based on opinion, its based on facts. When I list your property for sale, we will talk reality, you don't want your home sitting on the market.
Scroll down at what I've been predicting in the last 29 plus months, the consistency is on point.

More inventory then demand and motivated sellers. Homes are staying on the market longer. I have a strategy to sell your home right the first time.  I'm not going to give you smoke and mirrors to get a listing. If we are a match great! if not no problem and lets move on.

People are still suffering from inflation. Inflation is still kicking butt, and I honestly don't see interest rates dropping for years.  Like I keep saying, we have an inflation problem, not an interest rate problem. It took 10 yrs to go from 21% rates to 10.5% from Carter to the end of Reagan.

It's difficult to out save inflation. Creative Financing is the key to beating inflation. Ask me about this, not many Agents or brokers understand this concept. Prices are still dropping, agent's maybe telling you prices are going up. They are NOT!

When inventory increases, prices drop. I have strategies to help you sell your home right the first time.

There is one thing that I feel will lower inflation, DOGE. Because we are reducing inflation by gutting Gov. debt.  This will lower interest rates because the national debt and inflation will slowly come to a halt.

Here's a tip for selling your home right the first time...
Can a brokerage be a discount brokerage and still offer full service, YES!!!
Some brokerages will try to tag a brokerage who offers less commission as a discount brokerage, meaning limited services as a brokerage. That is non sense. So, if you are not a discount brokerage what's the standard commission rate that justifies full service, mid-service, limited service, etc. There is no standard rate, never has been. There are brokerages out there who will offer EVERYTHING the high priced brokerages offer, and they do a lot more than the so-called full service brokerages say they offer. Not even sure what is defined as full service. So when you here an agent say, that person / brokerage is a discount brokerage, they offer less in services, challenge them on that. Brokerages who offer less commissions does not mean they do less or offer fewer services. Interview EVERYONE, including myself. Ask them what their commission covers with the services given. Finally an affordable performance driven broker.



Every month prices will continue dropping. I predict until August 2026, I personally feel selling price will be more stable.
Remember when I said back in April 2024 that prices will continue to drop.
