Market Update

Over the past few years, the communities in our area have experienced consistently high list-to-sale price ratios, often surpassing 100%. This meant that properties were frequently selling for more than their listed prices. However, in recent times, there has been a noticeable shift in the market as list-to-sale price ratios are now trending towards 100% or slightly lower, even dropping to around 90% in certain areas.

This suggests a potential slowdown or stabilization in the real estate market, where sellers are no longer able to command prices significantly higher than their initial listings. In summary, the area has transitioned from a period of exceeding list prices to one where properties are selling closer to their listed values, indicating a possible shift in market dynamics.

Considering this and other aspects of our fluctuating market, it is more important than ever to work with a trusted real estate broker with demonstrated skill, knowledge, and experience. With all of those qualifications and the backing of the only truly global real estate network, nothing compares to Marketplace SIR agents to best represent your investment.

I would love to help you discover what’s next for your real estate journey, please feel free to reach out to me any time!

Best,

Important Updates on Real Estate Commissions and What It Means for You

The real estate landscape is changing, and staying informed is more important than ever. Recent legal actions have reshaped how real estate agents are compensated, bringing new dynamics to the way home buyers and sellers navigate the market.

In a landmark decision, a federal jury found that the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and several major brokerages conspired to keep commissions high. As a result, real estate agent compensations for both the buyer and seller are undergoing significant changes.

One of the most notable shifts is that home sellers are no longer automatically responsible for paying both their and the buyer’s agent. Now, buyers may need to negotiate and pay their agents directly. Also, buyers will no longer be able to view homes for sale with an agent, without first signing a buyers’ agency agreement. These changes are nationwide, with EVERY brokerage firm, and not optional.

As your dedicated agent, I’m here to help you understand these updates and explore the best strategies for your unique situation. Whether you have questions about agent compensation changes or want to discuss your options about how to buy or sell a home within the confines of the new requirements, I’m just a call or email away. Together, we can ensure your next real estate move is informed and successful.

Warm regards,

Erin
