October 2020 Days of Supply continues to show evidence of strong demand from Huntington Beach homebuyers at a time when the inventory of available homes is very low. The graph illustrates that “Now is a great time to sell� a home.

October 2020 Sales Volume is running at 127.3% of the 5-Year Average for the month.

This represents the strongest showing for a month in the last 3 years.

Low mortgage rates are providing incentive for homebuyers to act.

October 2020 Listing to Sale Success Ratio was 94.21%. So, on average just 6% of homes listed are failing to find buyers.

It can be said that nearly all homes with fair to good locations are selling provided the list price is reasonable.

My New Virtual Tour Platform allows me to do “Live Virtual Open Houses” with “in-tour audio”. It also has a “doll house” view, 2D floorplan, and annotated details about the upgrades.

Example Property Tour:

www.60613th3Dtour.info

A Game Changing Virtual Tour Platform has emerged… let me tell you about it.

Before I tell you about it, I wanted to mention that I hope that you are your family are well. Also I wish to express my continued sincere appreciation for the healthcare workers in our community on the front lines fighting the COVID-19 virus.

There are now countless platforms for interior home Virtual Tours. All the systems have excellent 3D images provided a quality camera is used.

Some systems have tiles along the bottom to move through the house, others have circles or arrows. One of the best Virtual Tour features is the “doll house” view (made famous by Matterport).

Some systems can also generate a 2D floorplan, which buyers have relied on for years.

But, what these systems all lack is the detailed information about the upgrades and features of the home that many buyers would like to know as they “walk through”. And, “live” simultaneous communication with the Realtor (similar to the traditional open house experience), has not been available in the virtual tour systems.

The NEW Virtual Tour Platform I implemented for my three most recent listings has all the functionality that was missing in previous virtual tour platforms:

Buyers like to see the overall neighborhood, so I am now using Aerial 360 Tours for all my listings where drone flights are allowable.

Example Aerial Tour:

www.Sunsetisland360Aerial.info

I believe Coldwell Banker - Campbell Realtors is the only real estate brokerage in Huntington Beach using these two advanced tour systems. If you are thinking about selling and want the best possible marketing experience for your home, please contact me via phone or text at 714-336-0394.

I can now annotate the upgrades in your home inside the tour giving URL links to features like your new wood flooring, built-in refrigerator, air conditioning, and anything

else you want the buyer to know about.

There is also a 2D Floorplan drawing inside the platform.

Most importantly, I can now “Live Walk” the buyer though the home tour… it is like a Zoom Meeting inside of the tour platform.

Like Zoom, multiple buyers on separate devices can be on the “Live Walk” through the home. Perhaps the husband is on an iPhone watching the kids play at the park, the wife is at home on a desktop, and the grandparents were invited to participate on their tablet. Either myself, or any one of the participants can manipulate the movement through the various “3D Views” of the house.
