MISSION STATEMENT

REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE - FALL

LISTING

We provide Champion Level Attention and Superior Service (CLASS) to our clients to create an experience that is Satisfying and Stress Free.

The real estate market is driven by simple economics: supply vs demand. Demand is up 8% from 2018, driven by historically low interest rates and our strong local economy. But I really want to dive into the supply side of the story.

Listing Experience

Power of Marketing • TWILIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY & VIRTUAL TOURS: Every property we represent receives the highest quality in photos, video tours, and property flyers.

• EMAIL ADVERTISING: Targeted email campaigns sent to thousands of homebuyers and the top real estate agents.

• DIRECT MAIL: We send hundreds of direct mailers to those areas proven to be the most successful in a resulting purchase.

• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: Your home is featured on the top social media platforms for specific homebuyers .

• BROKER OPENS: We happily provide both broker open houses and consumer open houses for our properties.

• LOCAL WEBSITE: High traffic on both brokerage and team websites.

• WEBSITE SYNDICATION: Your home syndicates to every major online real estate platform (including Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Redfin).

• THE ONLY BROKERAGE IN TOWN: LPRE is the only brick & mortar brokerage in Vistancia.

Our listings are displayed 24/7 in our front window and we sell almost 2 homes per month just from walk in traffic.

The valley has had a historically low supply of homes for so long that it has become somewhat normalized – but that isn’t normal. There are currently just over 13,000 residential properties in the valley currently for sale. To put that in perspective, normal supply should be just under 30,000 valley wide. While we have certainly seen more extreme past markets such as in 2005 (8,000 active), this low supply is putting tremendous pressure on buyers trying to find properties. It isn’t just the increased demand that is causing the issue – it is also the scarcity of sellers coming to the market. June 2019 was the second lowest new listings to market for a June since the Cromford Report began tracking it in 2001. July 2019 was the lowest July recorded for new listings. August, the second lowest August.

To quote Michael Orr of the Cromford Report: What is unusual is that supply is 43% below normal. We have had supply below normal ever since May 2011. But the weak flow of new listings has exacerbated the situation.

In Trilogy there are only 32 resales on the market as of September 18th. In the Trilogy Lifestyle- Summer Issue, I mentioned that values in Trilogy have gone up 20% in the last 3 years alone. In September I put 3 homes on the market in Trilogy and all 3 sold for full price or higher in less than 2 weeks.

This is a great time to list your home for sale before all the “testers” flood the market in January/February.
