Realtors Foundation awards $4,250 to regional charities LOWER EASTERN SHORE, MD – The Coastal Association of Realtors has awarded $4,250 in grants to local charities through the Coastal Realtors Foundation. Since the foundation was created in 2019, it has awarded nearly $50,000 to local charities. The following organizations received grants in the Coastal Realtors Foundation’s latest round of funding: • Junior Achievement Eastern Shore • Epoch Dream Center • Eastern Shore Pregnancy Center • Wall that Heals (Veterans Memorial) • WGP Warriors Against Addiction “We are so excited to partner with these great local organizations,” said Coastal President Joni Williamson “We have just entered our third year of the foundation, and although covid-19 threw a wrench into some of our plans
and fundraising we are continuing to push forward and support our Realtor members who nominate and work with these wonderful nonprofits.” The Coastal Realtors Foundation is a charitable fund held by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. The association raises money for the fund through an annual charity golf tournament as well as other efforts throughout the year. The fund is accessible to members of Coastal through an application process administered by the association and reviewed by a committee of members. Grant recipients must be 501(c)3 organizations and must be located in Somerset, Wicomico, or Worcester counties. Applications are accepted quarterly, and the next deadline is June 15.

Importance of home staging significant in buying, selling WASHINGTON – A new survey from the National Association of Realtors reveals that home staging continues to be a significant part of the home buying and selling process. The biennial report, the “2021 Profile of Home Staging,” examines the elements of home staging, including the perspectives of both buyers’ and sellers’ agents, the role of television programing and the expectations of buyers. “Staging a home helps consumers see the full potential of a given space or property,” said Jessica Lautz, NAR’s vice president of demographics and behavioral insights. “It features the home in its best light and helps would-be buyers envision its various possibilities.” Buyers’ agents overwhelmingly agreed, as 82 percent said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. These agents also said that visuals themselves are helpful, even more so in relation to buying a house during the coronavirus outbreak. Eighty-three percent of buyers’ agents said having photographs for their listings was more important since the beginning of the pandemic. Seventy-four percent of buyers’ agents said the same about videos, and 73 percent said having virtual tours available for their listings was more important in the wake of covid-19. “At the start of the pandemic, inperson open house tours either diminished or were halted altogether, so buyers had to rely on photos and virtual tours in search of their dream home,” said Lautz. “These features be-
come even more important as housing inventory is limited and buyers need to plan their in-person tours strategically.” Staging also increased the sum buyers were willing to spend for a property, according to the report. Twenty-three percent of buyers’ agents said that home staging raised the dollar value offered between 1 percent and 5 percent, compared to similar homes on the market that hadn’t been staged. Coincidently, the response from sellers’ agents was nearly identical, as 23 percent reported a 1 percent to 5 percent price increase on offers for staged homes. Eighteen percent of sellers’ agents said home staging increased the dollar value of a residence between 6 percent and 10 percent. None of the agents for sellers reported that home staging had a negative impact on the property’s dollar value. Moreover, 31 percent said that home staging greatly decreased the amount of time a home spent on the market. Exactly which parts of a home to stage vary, although living rooms (90 percent) and kitchens (80 percent) proved to be the most common, followed closely by master bedrooms (78 percent) and dining rooms (69 percent). As many workers were forced to work from home due to the pandemic, 39 percent staged a home office or office space. Television programing played a noticeable role in how buyers viewed a potential property, according to Realtors. Agents surveyed said that typically Continued on page 7

Interest in ‘green’ properties rising quickly WASHINGTON, D.C. – Thirty-two percent of Realtors said they had been directly involved with buying or selling a property that had green or ecofriendly features in the past 12 months, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors. NAR’s 2021 “Realtors and Sustainability Report” surveyed Realtors about sustainability issues facing the real estate industry. The association released the report in recognition of this year’s upcoming Earth Day celebration. Sixty-five percent of respondents said promoting energy efficiency in listings was valuable, with 36 percent reporting that their multiple listing service had green data fields. Among Realtors who did have MLS green data fields, 36 percent used them to promote green features, 25 percent highlighted energy information and 13 percent listed green certifications. More than half of those surveyed – 55 percent – said their clients were interested in sustainability. “A growing number of consumers are seeking homes with features that are good for the environment and, by extension, good for their wallets by reducing utility expenses in the long run,” said Jessica Lautz, NAR vice president of demographics and behavioral insights. “The pandemic has led to an increased focus on wellness and sustainability is
an important variable in that overall equation for some people.” A strong majority of Realtors – 82 percent – said properties with solar panels were available in their market and 40 percent said solar panels increased the perceived property value. Twenty-two percent of respondents said that a high-performance home – defined as a systematic building science approach to home improvements
that enhance indoor comfort, health, operational efficiency and durability – increased the dollar value offered compared to other similar homes. The home features that Realtors believed were most important to clients included the windows, doors, and siding (39 percent); proximity to frequently visited places (38 percent); a comfortable living space (37 percent); a home’s utility bills and operating
costs (23 percent); and commuting costs (15 percent). A quarter of respondents – 25 percent – had clients who frequently or sometimes requested to see properties close to public transportation. Fourteen percent of those surveyed said that a neighborhood’s walkability was very important to their clients while 8 percent said the same about access to bike lanes and paths.
Home staging big part of process Continued from page 6 10 percent of buyers believed homes should look the way they appear on TV shows. Sixty-three percent said buyers requested their home look like homes staged on television. Sixty-eight percent of Realtors reported that buyers were disappointed by how homes appeared compared to those seen on TV shows. In some cases, agents found that TV shows could influence a buyer’s perspective about a home. Seventy-one percent of respondents said that TV shows that depict the buying process impacted their business by setting unrealistic or increased expectations. Sixty-one percent said that TV pro-
grams set higher expectations of how homes should look, while 27 percent said that TV shows result in more educated home buyers and sellers. “The magic of television can make a home transformation look like it happened in a quick 60-minute timeframe, which is an unrealistic standard,” said NAR President Charlie Oppler, a Realtor from Franklin Lakes, N.J., and broker/owner of Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. “I would advise buyers and sellers alike that before house hunting or before listing, they connect with a trusted Realtor to get a reasonable sense of what’s out there and an idea of what to expect.”
Eight-one percent of those surveyed said buyers had ideas about where they wanted to live and what they wanted in an ideal home (76 percent) before they began the buying process. Forty-five percent of surveyed Realtors said they have seen no change in the share of buyers who planned to flip a home in the last five years, while 42 percent said they had. Also, 59 percent said they have seen an increase in the buyers who planned to remodel a home in the last five years, while 34 percent said they have seen no change. Agents surveyed said that typically 25 percent of buyers who plan to remodel will do so within the first three months of owning their home.

Prices, sales up as market’s pace quickens Inventory throughout state remains exceptionally low ANNAPOLIS, MD – Maryland’s housing market continued its strong sales pace in 2021 with March sales figures of 7,964 units sold, which outpaced the previous year’s sales of 7,148 by 11.4 percent. The average sales price, $404,606, reflected an increase of 11.3 percent from March 2020, while the March 2021 median sales price of $342,500 outpaced the previous year by 8.7 percent. An indicator of how fast the
market is moving, median days on market, dropped to just seven days in March. Housing inventory, or the lack thereof, remains the overarching concern with the current market. For the first three months of 2021, months of inventory has remained at 0.8, while the pool of active inventory has continued to shrink. March 2021’s active inventory was recorded at 6,202 — a shadow of March 2020’s active inventory, which stood at 19,061. “Home sales are continuing at a
formidable pace. Even pending units — houses under contract — are up substantially, at 10,337, an increase of 35.4 percent from last year,” said Dee Dee Miller, 2021 president, Maryland Realtors, “but yes, the concern remains with available inventory. With fewer homes available to sell, it’s driving the price up, which is good for sellers, but it could drive some potential buyers out of the market.” The number of new listings showed a small increase, from 10,441 in March 2020 to 10,970 in 2021 but this is not likely to have a significant
impact on other factors driving this market, she said. In a recent post on LinkedIn, Dr. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, stated, “Today’s market is so hot and so rare that over a half of homes are being sold above the listed price in some states.
