The Power of Pricing According to a 2023 survey from the National Association of REALTORS houses that were on the market.

Market Data

Mortgage rates surge, slowing New York housing market in September Albany, NY – October 19, 2023 – Mortgage rates reached their highest point in over two decades while inventory continues to dwindle across the Empire State, according to the housing report released today by the New York State Association of REALTORS®.

The inventory of homes for sale dipped 24 percent across the state, from 38,082 homes in September 2022 to just 28,943 units available last month. This marks the 47th consecutive month in year-over-year comparisons of shrinking inventory.

Interest rates finished September at 7.31 percent on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, according to Freddie Mac. This is the highest level since the year 2000. For the month, the average on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose from a 7.07 percent average in August to 7.20 percent in September.

Closed sales fell to just 9,564 homes in September 2023. This marks a 22.5 percent decrease from the 12,335 sales in September 2022. Pending sales were also down, falling 8.1 percent from 10,049 homes last year to 9,232 units pending in September 2023. New listings fell as well, from 14,017 listings in September 2022 to 12,592 last month. This represents a 10.2 percent decline in year-over-year comparisons.

Existing-Home Sales for October 2023 will be released on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.

Selling your property requires an expertly created and researched pricing strategy that maximizes the excitement and momentum of your property as soon as it goes to market, while also reflecting its distinctive features and amenities.

Neil Woodies | 917-512-8443 | neilwoodies@tepgroup.nyc

My Pricing Strategy Setting an optimal price point for your property involves: Conducting a detailed, custom market analysis Understanding the unique characteristics and amenities of your home and its location Relying on my expertise in the real estate market and understanding your expectations around timing I believe this pricing plan, matched with my marketing plan, will draw buyers to your home and position it as a highly appealing, highly competitive property.

The recommendation list price is based on relevant properties that have recently sold, have recently expired and those that are currently for sale in your market area.

Brooklyn CMA Report – From ATTOM Data Solutions Average Sales Price: $1,563,047 to $2,290,000 Average Sales Price - square footage: 1,425 to 2,892 Recommended List Price: 1,700.000.00 to 1,900.000.00

A home priced at market valve will attract more buyers than a home priced above market valve.

Also consider that a home price competitively will attract a greater number of potential buyers and increase your chances for an expedited sale.

I look forward to working together with you to get your home sold as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions Are there things we should do to our home to help ensure the maximum price?

Yes. There is a benefit to making sure your home looks its best prior to offering it for sale. There are also small remodeling jobs that will pay off at resale or unless it’s AS Is sale. I can advise you about specific improvements that will ensure your property is valued as highly as possible if required.

How often will you advertise our property?

I don’t list homes; I market them. Properties such as yours require a curated marketing plan that employs a variety of communication including web, print and in-person networking. I will make sure your home is marketed to potential buyers around the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What if another agent tells us they can get us more for the house?

Some agents will quote a higher listing price in an attempt to earn your business, but a home that is priced out of the market will not sell. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a comparative market analysis prior to recommending an asking price for your home. I will explain how I arrived at that price, but ultimately the decision is up to you. I will offer my professional opinion on how the market will value your time.

Do we have any responsibilities during the marketing of our home?

Rest assured that every aspect of the transaction will be handled from start to close.

Should you require anyone to assist you in ensuring your property is kept neat and clean for showings and open houses. I can connect you with trusted professionals.

Additionally, virtual staging, if required which includes everything from furniture placement to home fragrance, can be arranged by a professional, or I may advise you on effective techniques.

What happens once we get an offer?

I will help you consider each offer and negotiate the best deal for you. Once you’ve accepted an offer, I will guide you through the entire closing process and ensure everything proceeds smoothly.

Neil Woodies | 917-512-8443 | neilwoodies@tepgroup.nyc

Testimonials Neil Woodies is a wonderful agent, and the team around him executes very well. I recently sold my multifamily property through him and full disclosure, it was my first time selling plus he informed me of the 1031 exchanged timetable, and various timing between us and the bank, and the buyer’s agent keep everything smooth to close within a few months.
