The Age Old Questions....Will Listing My Home "For Sale By Owner" Save Me Money?

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:00:00 GMT

If you are considering listing your home as a For Sale By Owner to save money, there is a very good change that you will actually be spending a lot more then anticipated!

A few things to consider….

Price

A realtor will be able to consider all the factors and be able to tell you what the home will sell for and a Starting List Price. Being higher then your competitors may leave you on the market longer and paying more mortgage payments. OR you can be just below the average price of comparable homes and have no more mortgage payments and possibly have a bidding war that drives the price higher.

Advertising

To sell your home you must have it seen by the buyers. Serious buyers use an agent and agents use exclusive industry tools. They work in a Multiple Listing Service website. In Somerset and Hunterdon counties it is www.gsmls.com. This is where home base of advertising is. Every agent uses this site to find potential homes for their buyers and not much of anything else. Then there are feeder sites that also pull this listing onto their sites (Zillow and Trulia) are just two examples. That means that the FSBO sites are not used. There are also a lot more resources of advertising that is used like professional printing companies, photographers, signage, stagers and much more. And just as important, is that a realtor that has been in the business for a long time and has developed a pool of prequalified buyers that are looking for their new house to come on the market!

Negations

The professional negotiation skills of a realtor are just as valuable as money. When you agree on a price or repairs it is important to have someone knowledgeable in Real Estate to represent you. The negotiations back and forth can cost you if you do not have someone to guide you.

Time Equals Money

Agents will also be there to do the Open Houses, the running around for signatures, opening the door for inspections and so forth. It will cost you to take off from work to do this, also making it convenient for you. Also, anytime that there is a question about titles, mortgages, repairs and other things, agents are there to guide you through the things that may become overwhelming and time consuming.

Commission

And I am sure that your thought to turn to FSBO is to save the commission.

If you place a sign and do the marketing, who will be the most likely to respond?

-Serious buyers hire an agent as a buyer agent, since they get to take full advantage of the agent’s resources, experience, knowledge, and access to the most homes in a timely fashion, time, car, gas etcetera. So you will most likely miss these.

-Relocation buyers ,who are the best clients to work with, have to use an agent to facilitate a purchase due to the corporate relations and the employer wanting them settled and ready to concentrate on work.

-So who is left? Investors, they look to purchase a home at a discount, and what would you say is a good discount that you would want as an investor, say 10 -15% and while passing up on the 90% of the market that used a broker they are left with 10% of the market to choose from and, why would they do that --- to save the commission.

-Regular buyers shopping without a broker are also passing up 90% of the market to select only for sale by owners. Why - because they to want what to save the commission.

Conclusion

So now here we are in summary if the buyer is trying to save the commission and the seller is trying to save the commission WHO really saves the commission?

Tire kickers, the buyers who don’t have an agent more than likely will not be buying, but like looking at homes and rarely show up on time or at all and for security purposes do you really want someone entering your home and you not knowing anything about them? That’s a personal decision based on how much you relate money to security.

Everyone believes that they can do a Realtor does to get homes sold and they can. But how many homes has the average person negotiated in his life 2-3. What emotional connection does a home owner have to his property? Quite a bit, right? How easy is it to negotiate a sale home inspection issues, mortgage commitment, deposit, time frame for inspections second deposit and lead paint, well, septic and other disclosures while attached to the home? It can be done but you probably could drill out your own cavity also.

Remember that the buyer will most likely have a Real Estate agent working to save every penny that they can for their clients. You need to have someone protecting your investment as well. You may want to take it on yourself, but ask anyone who has bought and sold several homes over the years, now more than ever you need every advantage.

This information was provided by the Garden State Multi List System. Please note that in the Towns of Bernardsville and Watchung 2010 sales above 1 million dollars were elevated. In 2011 fewer high end sales occurred and skewed the average Sale Price

It appears that the housing market is starting to gain traction and the best kept best priced homes are selling the quickest and in the shortest time as in normal markets. With 8 of 21 town's showing a positive move in price, we see the first time in the last few years that we did not experience downward price pressures in all towns. This is a example of better mortgage rates (Historical lows ) and an improved economy. Please note that in some markets the buyers price point has moved up the price scale as they use the lower rates to make a move up in this market.

If you would like to know how much your home is worth in today's market, just let us know. We will talk to you confidentially, with no obligation giving you an honest assessment of you personal situation. I give you my personal commitment to offer you the facts as they not just tell you what I think you want to hear.

FOR SALE BY OWNER Yes or NO

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 03:00:00 GMT

Below is an excerpt from an Article from the Wall Street Journal which I thought everyone would like to read. Smart people hire a professional Brokers!!!!!

BY JOSH BARBANEL

A founder of a website dedicated to direct sales of homes by their owners has sold his two-bedroom apartment in Chelsea for $2.15 million—with the help of a real-estate broker and a standard 6% commission.

Colby Sambrotto, a founder and former chief operating officer of ForSalebyOwner.com, a large website for owner sales, spent six months trying to sell his condominium himself through online listings and classified ads, before turning over the listing of the 2,000-square-foot apartment to a broker at Bond New York in November.

The broker, Jesse Buckler, said he told Mr. Sambrotto the apartment in the Lion's Head ...

Will my home value ever go up?

Sun, 26 Jun 2011 03:00:00 GMT

Existing-home sales slip again

Sales of existing homes declined 3.8% in May for the second consecutive month, to an annualized rate of 4.8 million units. Home sales (including single-family dwellings, townhouses, and condos) were down 15% from a year ago. The median existing-home price fell 4.6% to about $166,500 year over year. Every region except the West Coast experienced a decline in May; the Midwest was hit hardest (–6.4%) partly because of bad weather. Several factors, including the soft job market and tighter mortgage lending practices, continued to put pressure on sales. "Spiking gasoline prices along with widespread severe weather hurt house shopping in April, leading to soft figures for actual closings in May," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors. "Current housing market activity indicates a very slow pace of broader economic activity, but recent reversals in oil prices are likely to mitigate the impact going forward." Thanks to Vanguard Market and economy

With the Drop in existing sales for May and very slow activity for June it looks like anothe few months down before we flatten out Then We wil have to take on the short sales forclosures and shadow inventory. So it looks like a long haul and that's whats keeping the buyers from purchasing they to are waiting for the bottom. Right now it's a free fall and looks like we wont know we hit untill we hear the SPLAT!!!!!

Just what the housing wheel needed "Some Greece"

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 03:00:00 GMT

As the Spring market bogs down with an array of bad economic data, housing starts hit record lows, resales slow, unemployment on the rise, the world financial markets gets hit with the Greece financial meltdown. Housing here in the in Central New Jersey seems to be struggling to make a bottom. We are starting to see the inventory shrink ever so slightly with many home owners unable or unwilling to sell only the motivated sellers are taking action. Buyers continue to have fear about the economic conditions and the continued price declines in housing. Even rates in the mid to low 4's does not seen to create excitement for the buyers and when they do they decide to take action they have so much inventory to view before making a decision.

As the economy here in the United States started to make strides the Greece financial meltdown has carried over to the U.S. financial markets. Confidence in a growing economy has dampened Many home sellers are concerned with the lack of activity of buyer visits and now see a much more difficult market ahead.

Pricing Ahead of the market is critical if you don't have an offer in the first 30 days a reduction is needed getting a certified appraisal is well worth the cost of 500 or so dollars. It will allow you to support you marketing plan. Either way when that first offer comes in think long and hard about your response it could be the only offer you may get. In this market the smart sellers are undercutting the competition when they list the property for sale and you should to.

Well the Greece we got is not going to help the housing wheel run any smoother its up to you and me to make sure your home gets sold. Do all the updating before you go on the market, don't skimp, take short cuts or step over the things you need to get done. You cant live in your home for 15 years do nothing and expect to get the same amount of money the person who updates things as they go along. Don't whine about spending money now when you have not for the last number of years. Buyers today want clean, staged, updated and good values in the homes they purchase. Make sure your home is one that stands out.

30 Year 4.5% and falling can it help home prices

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 17:35:00 GMT

As of today Friday June 3 2011 you can get a 30 year fixed rate at 4.50% No points and if you looking to stay put for more that 10 years you can get 4.375 for 30 years paying one point. As the stock market continues it's fifth week of declinesand the employment numbers continue to dis-aappoint rates continue to decline. How low will it go before it starts to stimulate the home purchase market no one knows but we are starting to see signs of activity picking up here in the Somerset Hunterdon and Middlesex markets. With still over 9 months of supply buyers have plenty of homes to visit before making a decision. Lower rates are not enough to prompt action when employment is the bigger concern. As we approach the National Open House Weekend we will see if the buyers are out looking and taking action.

Here is the recent sales data for the month of May for towns in Somerset County. A few will surprise you and a few are somewhat expected to lead the way.

Bedminster-82 Days on market-sale/list price 98%-Average sale price 384,000

8 sales

Bernards-60 Days on market-sale/list price 95%-Average sale price 486,659

Warren-94 DOM-sale/list price 97%-average sale price 862750

8 sales

Watchung-15 DOM-sale/list price 96%-average sale price 582417

6 sales

Here is the most alarming information from this months statics we have 3087 properties on the market in Somerset County and 183 properties closed last month that gives us a 16 month supply of properties for sale. So lowering the rates helps but it has no effect on stabilizing the price if we have so much inventory. The only improving factor seen was an increase in the under contracts for the month to 269 this would reduce the supply to under a YEAR to 11 months.

Pricing ahead of the market that's how many home sellers are getting home sold but it takes a savvy homeowner who has good guidance to take that action.

Spring has finally arrived and the housing market is still struggling to break out of it's ma laze. Recent activity has picked up with several of my listings getting offers within a short time on the market. Others have limited activity and certain sections of the market are overcrowded with inventory. Only the lowest priced best conditioned properties are getting offers. While rates are again below 5% today's 30 year fixed 4.72 no points buyers are still resisting taking action. Buyers are still suffering from the constant talk of further declines in the market. No urgency to purchase "rates dropping prices dropping why take action now" This seems to be the buyer mantra.

We no one can predict the bottom but, missing it could be more costly that if it declines a few more percent. The amount of money you could save with low inerest rate usually exceeds the amount that you can save when you get your offer accepted, over the long run. If you only staying a few years then the reverse applies.

October 1 2011 the maximum loan amount that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will back is scheduled to drop from $729,750 to $625,500.

Will Real Estate Ever Recover?

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 03:00:00 GMT

Time To Buy? Should I Invest? Will it ever go up again?

These are some of the questions I'm asked on a daily basis. The answer varies from person to person but here is what I have experience over the last 24 years selling real estate here in Bridgewater and surrounding areas. The cost of owning a home is at an all time low based on rates and price, but if you don't have a good job or credit now is not the time for you. The current Spring market has been very slow to take off but this weekend I saw things start to change.

Open House Traffic is up.

With buyers starting to look, the weather improving, all signs point to an uptick in activity. Sunday's open house was on a first time buyer 1 bedroom condo in Hillsborough. 7 parties stopped buy to take a look an improvement over the last few open houses. The condo offers first floor living, updated bath, hardwood floors, open floor plan and ample closet space. It's price 141,500 a great opportunity for a first time buyer or someone looking t downsize.

Investing

Looking to make more than 1% on your money well this is the time to become a Real Estate investor. Based on your requirements for investing and what your long term goal is this could be a great time to purchase an investment for your future. Being a landlord is not for everyone but has helped many people create wealth for the future. In the past few weeks I have worked with several buyers looking to enter or expand their portfolio. This could be a time for you also! If your thinking how could it work for Me?Just call for a free consultation. Being a investor owner of property I can assist you in finding out if it possible for you.

Selling ? Now ? Wait? Maybe Never?

With Prices down over 25% from the top, Selling in this market is not for everyone. If your Relocating or downsizing this market may offer some opportunities.

If your looking to make a move call us we can give you up to date market information to help you make the best decision.

Strong activity here, the average sale price was $309,900. Next in line was the 3 bedroom homes and units, 27 sold here and the average market time 136 days. Of course the highest priced homes saw the slowest activity and the list to sales price ratio showed this at 93%

Nothing to be alarmed about here as we have seen in the past few years the best priced and kept properties sell the quickest. Entry level homes have the greatest activity and with rates remaining low this will continue. If your thinking of Buying or Selling contact a qualified Realtor to review these facts and figures it will more that pay knowing the market statistics....

The clock is ticking but activity has been fast and furious. This month alone I have placed 6 properties under contract in all price ranges and we listed 5 more homes for sale! Things are picking up and people are taking action in the face of all the bad news you hear. First time home buyers are getting homes under contract as we approach that April 30 Deadline for have a home under contract to get the tax credit. this is freeing up a lot of move up buyers as they now have offers on their homes. The only negative is that we have moved off the bottom for low interest rates 1/4 per cent move this week don't wait much longer BUY BUY BUY You will never regret it.

First Time Buyers OPEN the Market

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:44:00 GMT

The Tax credit is working Activity has increased since the tax credit was extended. Buyers are taking advantage of the opportunities and going under contract on entry level homes. This allows the move up seller/buyer to take on purchasing another home and moving the activity up the price point. Thank God

With the increase in this activity, price points that have been quiet are getting activity, recent listing I have had on the market have had multiple offers market time is decreasing and bids are stronger for the sellers. So if your in the market now is the time to move forward take action!
