Buyer Traffic is Strong in New Mexico

by Sandi Pressley

Everyone knows that the best time to sell anything is when demand is high and supply is low.  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) just released two major reports showing that now continues to be an ideal to sell your home.

REALTORS® CONFIDENCE INDEX

Every month, NAR surveys “over 50,000 real estate practitioners about their expectations for home sales, prices and market conditions.” In May the index continued to show that demand for homes outpaced supply.

The map below illustrates buyer demand broken down by state (the darker your state, the stronger the demand is there). As you can in New Mexico, buyer traffic remains strong.

Takeaway: Demand for housing continues to be strong throughout 2017, but supply is struggling to keep up, and this trend is likely to continue into 2018.

If you are going to sell, now may be the time to take advantage of the ready, willing, and able buyers that are still out searching for your house.

The Importance of Using an Agent When Selling a Home

by Sandi Pressley

When you sell your house, you obviously want the best price for your home with minimal hassles, and of course, actually getting your home sold. To do this, you should realize how important it is to use a real estate professional.

People are relying more and more on technology.  This has dramatically changed how people buy a home and their behavior during the buying process.  According to NAR, the percentage of people who use the internet to search for a home was 94% in 2016!

At the same time though, they brought out that 96% of home buyers who did use the internet also used a real estate professional to buy their home. On 2% bought homes directly from the seller, also known as  “For Sale by Owner” or FSBO.

Buyers tend to search for a home online first, but then use an agent during the buying process.  All this information on the internet now available has led people to work with agents who can help them connect the dots.  The amount of people using agents to buy a home has increased steadily since 2001.

So if you plan on selling your home in Albuquerque, then you need an agent who can help you connect the dots as well. The Sandi Pressley Team has the experience to help you bring the process together so that you can make the most money from your home and make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Here's Why You Should Not For Sale By Owner

by Sandi Pressley

In today’s Market in Albuquerque, some homeowners might be thinking about selling their home on their own.  This is known as For Sale by Owner (FSBO).  But there are a number of reasons why this may not be the best idea is you’re planning on selling your home in Albuquerque.

Here are 4 reasons why:

Buyer Exposure

It’s a fact that 94% of buyers search online for a home.  That’s compared to only 17% looking at the newspaper ads. Most real estate agents in Albuquerque have a marketing strategy that involves online marketing. Do you?

The Internet Gets Results

51% of home buyers find their home on the internet.  34% found it from a real estate agent.  A mere 9% found it from a yard sign.  Just putting up a sign in the front yard doesn’t work anymore.  A strong internet marketing strategy is essential.

Too Many People to Deal With

Most FSBO home sellers don’t realize at first all the people they have to deal with.  You have the buyer, the buyer’s agent, the buyer’s attorney, home inspectors, and appraisers. That can be overwhelming if you don’t have experience in selling a home.

FSBOs Have Become More Difficult

There’s far more paperwork involved in buying and selling a home than there used to be.  That’s why the percentage of people selling by FSBO has dropped from 19% to 8% over the last 20 or so years.

So before you take on the challenge of selling your home by yourself, give us a call and let us help you decide if an experienced Albuquerque real estate agent can help you sell your home.
