“Sales of previously owned homes — the vast bulk of the housing market — in June hit their highest level since October, according to a report Tuesday from the National Assn. of Realtors, and the supply of homes on the market is the highest it has been in more than a year.”
Inventory is rising, prices also continue to rise. The market is showing signs of more balance between buyers and sellers. A wonderful sign.
Linda Grigorian, Vanguard Estates So the California Association of Realtors recently did a survey of social media usage for buyers and sellers who are looking into real estate. So about 44% were looking at information on neighborhoods, suggestions from friends and things like that. About 35% were looking at agent’s facebook if you haven’t visited mine, moment of shameless plug, please go to estates. please be sure to like my page. another resource was YouTube about 20% were looking at agents videos such as this. And both buyers and sellers who are researching local agents, specific neighborhoods, trying to get some tips on selling, some tips on buying those are wonderful resources. So I would love to hear from you. What sites are you looking at? What kind of social media are you engaged in such as youtube, zillow, trulia… some other websites. I’d love to get your feedback on what kind of information that you would like to see and get the help that you need. Linda Grigorian, Vanguard Estates. Talk to you soon. 818-321-3311

Do you want to buy a home but are concerned about not getting qualified?
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times a couple of days ago, “A new national consumer survey found that 56% of potential purchasers of homes say they’re out of the market because they don’t want to face the possibility of rejection by lenders. Even 30% of current homeowners believe that they wouldn’t pass muster today.”
Sellers. So here we are… Offers in hand, ready to review. Now, let’s talk about the things we need to take into consideration: The highest price is NOT always the best offer. 1st: has the buyer been pre qualified or pre approved? In today’s market, offers without are generally not even considered. The down paymet? The contingency times? Length of escrow? 30, 45, 60… do they need to sell before they buy? What are the terms? Who will be paying or what? Inspections, transfer fees, etc. Once we have carefully reviewed all the information, I will help you determine which is the strongest offer and you will decide which one to move forward with.You accept the offer, I open escrow and we start the process of closing the deal.I am here to help.And together, we will get your home sold and GET THAT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.
P.S. Thank you all for your great support with these video blogs!
Pricing your home is an art.But let’s be completely honest and clear. I do not determine the price on your home, the market does.Achieving the best price is the result of both objective research and sense in determining how much a buyer will be willing to pay for your home.By preparing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), we will clearly see a survey of homes currently for sale in your neighborhood and what homes are selling for.Price is the number one factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view.The correct price will attract showings, generate more ad and internet inquiries which will generate offers and ultimately, get your home sold.Everything in the world is driven by supply and demand.Everything is negotiable.Remember, the market determines the price of your home. Let’s make it our friend, get your home sold and get that money in your hands!
