Valuable and Interesting “Golden Results” Information!
130. It’s a Price War and a Beauty Contest and You Have to Win at Both!
This is the BIG Kahuna. This is the Real Deal. This is Where It’s At.
Price is the Great Equalizer. Think about Foreclosures. They Sell. Price
Adjusts for Everything.
Casper Showings.Slippers and Jammies. Get the date to get Engaged!
The Sound of Microwave Popcorn
New Kid on the Block or NEW Kid at School..New Broom Sweeps
Clean!
10% ARE Selling. 90% ARE NOT.
131. Buyers VOTE with their Feet…No Pitter Patter thru the Door…
Your Spirits need not Soar, the vote is already cast and this vote has a
ROAR!
The Market speaks to us. The Silence is Deafening.
Athlete, Olympics…There’s Just One Number One Winner
Pretend you Won the Lottery and have to spend the winnings this
weekend on a home in this area in the price range on this already
researched paperwork ( which is your competition). How do we stack up?
Let’s “Shop the Actives” Let’s spend some of that Million Dollars on a
home. Let’s compare. Are you buying your home back … at what cost?
132. The Grocery Line…The Slinky
The Maytag Repairman…Pick up vs. Delivery Costs
The Depthfinder
The Petite Store…The Parade…The Prom
Who shows up at the Party? You have to have someone to negotiate with…
As a Seller….Time is not your Friend. (In my world, neither is chocolate)
My favorite book is “Gone with the Wind.” Those are Gone with the Wind
Prices.
133. You are the Gatekeeper for the “Guests”…You determine how many come thru
the Gate with the pricing you determine. Picture a Drawbridge. How many
Buyers are you going to allow thru?
NAR Stats 1-2 /2-3 showings then 10 then Overpriced. I don’t need to tell
you! You’ll tell me.
Healthy Market is 4-6 months. This is 10. This is a Buyer’s Market. RAZOR
Sharp Pricing is how you get in the 10%.
Why would someone buy an Overpriced Home in an Underpriced Market?
The Algebra Check…the Checks and Balance System…the Turnip Truck
134. You may not need to sell. But your competition in that ten percent
does. And that is who you are competing against. You have to
position yourself to WIN. You choose to be in the ten percent.
Have No Regrets, No Tears Pricing.
Who stole our sale?
There’s no second chance to be first choice.
Nine Months to Hatch and Longer…Radar Ready to Spot Razor
Sharp Pricing…Ready to Latch on the Correct Home that’s
Hatched.
135. The Market has rejected this price. You need to reposition your home in the
marketplace so it will sell.
What is your monthly payment and monthly cost to maintain this home? I want to
add the closing costs and price reduction a buyer may request in an offer, say 3-
5% and up, to this monthly cost. Those numbers add up to roughly___ for all
the estimated months to sell . Now let’s compare this to the number you are
thinking and let’s discuss a pricing strategy. You’re going to pay to play.
Buyers want more for less. At this price, you offer less for more, not more for
less. And remember, this is a Buyer’s Market saturated with a ten month versus
a healthy 4-6 month inventory with only 10%, in the very best sales pace zip
codes, of the inventory selling.
136. The Buyers see the Days on Market on the Printouts. The good homes
go in 30 days or so, still, even in this market. They’ve watched for nine
months and they know this. After that 45-60 day mark or so they are
asking how much the seller will take. Why would they offer the list price or
close to list when no one else has in al l that time? These Homes become
the leftovers. Why would a Buyer pay list price for leftovers? To them,
these are ready for the Clearance Rack. Do you want to be on the
Clearance Rack or in the Bargain Basement Department? Or do you
want to be in the Retail Store where you deserve to be? Think about it.
When you are overpriced, you are invisible to those who would want your
home and can afford your home but are rejected by those who can and will
buy more for less. You are in the wrong price category and being
compared to homes that offer lots more so your showings are Caspers.
137. Just like there are checks and balances in our government, there are
checks and balances in this system. Even if the Buyer has cash and has
just landed off a boat from some remote island, the agent will represent
the buyer and prepare a CMA before the offer is written… after they
have viewed dozens of homes with their own mental cash register that
clicks and ticks. The licensed appraiser has his job to keep and the
underwriter has the money to protect for the loan. Then, there’s easy
Buyer access to inventory and sales data online. There are no secrets.
The data’s all there and so are all the checks and balances.
138. You’re going to say your home offers so much more so you can price it for
more, right? Each home has special positive features that offer more and each
home has minus features that need to be adjusted. Price adjusts for everything.
It is the great equalizer. Focus on square footage and comments for condition
as we go thru the comps. Plus, always remember, there are mental roadblocks on
some of the big price points. Also, to be that Belle of the Ball may be $25K!
Life’s too short to make all the mistakes. Sometimes you have to learn from the
mistakes of others. Let the 90% of the Home Sellers who are not selling make
the pricing mistakes. You have to offer more than each home in your price
bracket. You have to stand out. You have to be hot to trot and trot to hot. You
have to win the race, win the battle, win the price war. As every Beauty Queen
or King should.
139. Phantom Inventory
You are Buying in this Market, too, at these interest rates and these
prices. You make it up in spades this way. It’s a GAIN not a loss in the big
picture…in the long run…Real estate is long range investment.
Add closing to sales price. Create Auction Environment.
Hand me the Four (one to spare) that I need to hand to the Appraiser
because that is what I will have to do.
