Here’s a shocker: Does your Realtor use the “rear view mirror” to make recommendations?
Associated Press:
Homebuilders less confident in housing market
By ALAN ZIBEL , 07.19.10, 10:01 AM EDT 
WASHINGTON — Homebuilders’ confidence in the housing market has sunk to the lowest level in more than a year, more evidence that the economic recovery is slowing.
The National Association of Home Builders says its seasonally adjusted housing market index fell to 14 in July. It was the lowest level since March 2009. June’s index level was revised downward to 16.
Ok Sean, what does this stuff have to do with being asleep at the wheel? If your like many home sellers trying to sell their property in a market with a over-abundance of inventory, waiting to make decisions based on the news, your typically too late!
Still don’t understand? Here is a very real example:
Mr. and Mrs. Jones have their property listed for sale for 700K in an area where there are 40 properties on the market for sale. They realize that the market values in their area are still declining with each consecutive sale. More importantly, only one to two homes are going into contract each month with 4-6 new properties coming into the market. The math isn’t pretty.
Solution: The seller needs to be the “market maker”. By effectively evaluating and forecasting the market, we can then help the Jones’ price their home at the market from the onset versus waiting for news like, “oh the Malleys, you know they have the same house across the street, just sold their house for X”!
Question: Is your Realtor making recommendations based on the past or future? How much does it cost to make decisions based on the “rear view mirror” approach?
Though we don’t have a crystal ball, my group’s market forecasts, years of experience and pricing strategies have helped more than fifty plus customers either buy or sell a home so far this year!
Stop looking and listening to the people looking in the mirror for answers….If your considering buying or selling a home in the near future , Call Me Immediately 201-427-1032!
Builders are still in a “Glum Mood”..Gee Wall Street “How about Joe American”
Ahead of the Bell: Builder Sentiment
Associated Press, 07.19.10, 06:39 AM EDT 
WASHINGTON — Builders are still in a glum mood about the housing market now that federal tax incentives have expired, a reading of the industry is expected to show.
The National Association of Home Builders' housing market index for July is expected to remain at 17, unchanged from a month earlier, according to the consensus forecast of economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Read the Whole story
It's amazing how during the Presidential Race and Campaigning all we heard was "Joe American .. Main Street…before Wall Street" .. Even Better Washington Saying " though Housing is important, we aren't too concerned"
Are we the only ones seeing the correlation between: violent swings on Walls Street and the ending of the Home Buyers Tax Credits?
Good Figure… Watching and listening to both markets play out reminds me of my favorite Stock Broker and Brother Patrick Shallis saying " The Fed doesn't dictate monetary policy…" Sure…"and Housing isn't the fuel to consumer confidence and long term stabilized stability and eventual growth" In speaking with many of the real estate brokers on the street, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Builder index below expectations today. Look for more "On the Street" translations.. If you have questions or comments we'd like to hear from you !How do you cope with the most challenging and serious experiences?
