Chandler Arizona Real Estate Agents Attend RE/MAX R4 in Las Vegas

Last week, Bill Ryan, Cory Whyte and Kerri Wade attended the RE/MAX convention, aka R4, in Las Vegas.  Wow!  What a week!  The speakers, classes and networking were awesome and the fun times spent with friends old and new and the other five RE/MAX agents from our office were priceless.

On day one, we were treated to two fabulous keynote speakers, Darren Hardy, the publisher of Success Magazine, and Simon Sinek, the author of “Start With Why”.  Darren challenged us to identify what is holding us back and to use our so-called “adversity” to our advantage.  We must stop looking for the quick fix because success is earned by hard work.  “It’s not what you know, it is only what you do with what you know that matters,” he coached.  Several in our group purchased his book, The Compound Effect.

On day two, we got to experience the magic of Earvin “Magic” Johnson.  If you’ve ever thought he was only about basketball, you would be very wrong.  This man has become the most powerful African-American business man in America, and his words and works are inspiring. Know your customer, over deliver, you can do good and do it well, understand the problem first and then create a solution… just a few of the great tips we learned.  Following Magic was Jean Chatzky.  Jean is a journalist, best-selling author, and the financial editor on the NBC Today Show.  Our group totally took to heart one of her lovely pieces of advice: “Spending money on experiences make us happier than spending money on things.”  We took that advice to heart and experienced the ice bar at the Mandalay Bay!  It was a fantastic experience!

All in all, Bill, Cory and Kerri were able to pick up some new ideas and share some of their ideas with their RE/MAX family around the world.  This contributes to our ability to serve our clients even better, and the bottom line is, that’s what we are all about.

Buying or Selling a Home During The Holiday Season Can Be Advantageous

“WHAT?”, you say.  “Has Bill gone and lost his mind?  Everyone knows that no one wants to go through that right now.  The buyers are all hibernating for heaven’s sake!”

Yes, yes, yes.  I know that’s the common perception when it comes to buying and selling homes during the holidays.  But I am here to tell you that there are many advantages to selling and buying right now.

First of all, you’re not the only one who thinks now is a bad time to sell a home.  Most people believe the same thing.  That is why the number of new listings drops every year during November and December.  But here’s the deal… as a seller, you have LESS COMPETITION.  As a buyer, you have LESS COMPETITION!  Let’s face it, no one really wants to move during the holidays, but some people have to move during the holidays.  You won’t be inundated with looky-loo’s.  They’re all at the mall.  And buyers have the advantage of looking at houses that aren’t on the market “just to see if something happens”.  They know they are working with sellers that are truly interested in selling.

And guess what happens as soon as the holidays are over, typically about the middle to end of January?  Everyone decides to list their house!  Everyone decides to buy a house!  Hello competition.

Here’s another plus:  lenders, title companies, home inspectors, and appraisers are not as busy during the holiday season.  Things get done faster!  Chances are they’ll all be able to work with your time line and there won’t be as many frustrating delays.

The big price changes are over for now, in my opinion.  Home values will appreciate at a much more normal pace.  Our market has reached a nice, balanced state.  Waiting until next spring to sell your home probably won’t net you a huge amount more, and if you’re selling a home and planning to buy another, there’s a good chance you may pay a higher interest rate by then.

If you know you are ready to move on with your life, there’s no reason to wait.  I’m about to start my 40th year in the real estate business and I can tell you that trying to predict when the best time to sell or buy is like nailing Jell-o to a wall.  You just have to do what is right for you and what moves you to the next part of your life and where you want to be.

If you would like to discuss whether now is the time for you to buy or sell a home in the Chandler area, give me a call today.  I’ve always been honest with you and if I don’t think it’s in your best interest, I will tell you that.  I’ve spent my career making clients for life and I’m not about to stop now.

10 Things Buyers Want In A Home

From a RISMedia article written by Melissa Campbell.

Recent surveys conducted by the National Association of REALTOR’s, REALTOR.com and the National Association of Home Builders have shown that the top ten things buyers are looking for in a home are:

1.  Quality Neighborhood:  Neighborhoods are very important to buyers but neighborhood choice varies by household composition.

2.  Convenience to job:  Commuting is a necessary evil, but homes closer to work enhance life-work balance which is becoming a higher priority for many Americans, especially millennials.

3.  Overall affordability of homes: It’s important to keep housing related costs as low as possible, ideally no more than 1/3 of your pre-tax income.

4.  Quality of schools: Nearly 45% of buyers are willing to pay a premium for quality schools.

5.  A home suited for the next 15 years: A home that can support lifestyles as they evolve is important.

6.  A mortgage:  Due to the tight credit environment, buyers should consider homes below what they may qualify for in order to bump up the loan to value ratio.

7.  Energy efficiency.  This one tops the list for buyers of new homes. Buyers want energy-star rated appliances and windows.

8.  Open floor plans: Open spaces for entertaining represent quality time with family and friends, and this is especially important to Gen Y.

9.  High ceilings:  They impart a grandness to the home in addition to being more aesthetically pleasing.

10.  Technology:  Millennials cherish technology and find it more important to curb appeal.

Chandler AZ First Major City to See Demand Stabilize

Here’s the latest from The Cromford Report:

November 7 – We are seeing demand continue to fall but at a decelerating rate now we are well into November. It is possible that October was the worst month for buyer sentiment decline in a long time and things look like they may be starting to moderate now. Here are the latest Cromford Market Index™ values for the single family home markets in various cities, and in parentheses a comparison with the previous month (October 7):

  • Sun Lakes – 166.6 (237.6)
  • Sun City West – 153.1 (188.9)
  • Arizona City – 145.2 (166.7)
  • Glendale 107.6 (129.9)
  • Sun City – 116.5 (158.4)
  • El Mirage – 109.6 (116.5)
  • Cave Creek – 109.3 (124.0)
  • Paradise Valley – 108.1 (137.4)
  • Chandler 106.3 (115.2)
  • Apache Junction – 104.9 (124.3)
  • Scottsdale 104.2 (131.1)
  • Avondale – 104.0 (132.4)
  • Phoenix – 100.4 (120.9)
  • Mesa – 98.8 (121.0)
  • Goodyear – 96.9 (126.7)
  • Peoria – 95.8 (121.1)
  • Gilbert – 95.1 (110.8)
  • Anthem – 91.6 (99.9)
  • Litchfield Park – 88.6 (114.2)
  • Laveen – 87.3 (113.3)
  • Surprise – 85.7 (110.1)
  • Tolleson – 86.1 (91.4)
  • Fountain Hills – 81.7 (119.0)
  • Gold Canyon – 79.9 (95.2)
  • Buckeye – 78.3 (93.1)
  • Tempe – 74.9 (94.7)
  • Casa Grande – 67.9 (84.8)
  • Queen Creek – 66.2 (87.5) – includes San Tan Valley unincorporated area
  • Maricopa – 53.9 (67.5)

Chandler is the first major city to see its demand stabilize, though supply is still increasing. Tempe and Mesa look like they may be close behind and the next potential candidates for demand stabilization are Tolleson, Glendale, Anthem and El Mirage.

The 55+ areas and the luxury market were affected much later than the rest of the market, but demand is falling off sharply in these segments at the moment. As a result of their late entry we would expect them to take a bit longer to stabilize.
