How to Navigate Multiple Offers

How To Navigate a Market Where Multiple Offers Is the New Normal

Are multiple offers the new norm? If you’re thinking of buying a home today, you already know that the number of homes available for sale is low. But what does that really mean for you? As a buyer, low housing supply coupled with high buyer demand means you should be prepared to navigate a highly competitive market where homes sell fast and get multiple offers. Realtor.com has this to say:

“Homes also flew off the market at record pace as buyers put offers in the moment properties came up for sale….”

In a bidding war situation like this, doing everything you can to get ahead of the competition is a wise move. That’s because when you find a house and submit an offer, it’ll likely be up against strong offers from other buyers. According to the latest RealtorsConfidence Index from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes today are receiving an average of 3.9 offers. That’s the most offers we’ve seen in January for the last 5 years (see graph below):

How To Navigate a Market Where Multiple Offers Is the New Normal | MyKCM

To help you navigate bidding wars with multiple offers, an expert real estate advisor is key. They know what’s worked for other buyers, what sellers are looking for, and how to help you prepare when it comes time to make an offer. Here are three tips to keep in mind that will help you make the best offer possible.

1. Know Your Numbers​

Knowing your budget and what you can afford is critical to your success as a homebuyer. The best way to understand your numbers is to work with a lender so you can get pre-approved for a loan. Pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious, which can give you a competitive edge. You should also know making an offer at the home’s asking price may not be enough. Homes today often sell for more than their listing price. An agent can help you understand the market value of the home and what other homes are selling for in your area.

2. Be Ready To Move Fast​

Speed and the pace of sales are contributing factors to today’s competitive housing market. When homes are selling fast, it’s important to stay on top of the market and be ready to move quickly. Your agent will help you stay up to date on the latest listings and help you put together your best offer as soon as you find the home you want to buy.​

3. Make a Strong but Fair Offer​

​When you’re up against other offers, putting your best offer forward from the start is key. Lean on your agent to write a strong offer and use their expertise on which levers you can pull to make your offer as enticing as possible. One option is to wave some of your contract contingencies (conditions you set that the seller must meet for the purchase to be finalized). Just remember there are certain contingencies you don’t want to give up, like the home inspection.

​Bottom Line

No matter what, your agent is your best resource for making an offer that stands out in a competitive market. Let’s connect to talk through what you can expect as a buyer and how to kick off a successful home search.

Why It’s Critical To Price Your House Right

Why It’s Critical To Price Your House Right

why it is critical to price your house right from the startSo why is it so Critical To Price Your House Right from the get go? When you make a move, you want to sell your house for the highest price possible. That might be why many homeowners are eager to list in today’s sellers’ market. After all, with record-low inventory and high buyer demand, many homes are selling for more than asking price. Data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows 46% of homes are selling above list price today.

But even in a market like we have now, working with an agent to set the right asking price is critical, as pricing it too high or too low could have a negative impact on your final sale. Here’s why.

Pricing Your House Right Is Crucial Even in a Sellers’ Market

The price you set for your house sends a message to potential buyers. Price it too low and you might raise questions about your home’s condition or lead buyers to assume something is wrong with the property. Not to mention, you could leave money on the table, which decreases your future buying power if you undervalue your house.

On the other hand, price it too high and you run the risk of deterring buyers. When that happens, you may have to do a price drop to try to re-ignite interest in your house when it sits on the market for a while. But be aware that a price drop can be seen as a red flag for some buyers who will wonder why the price was reduced and what that means about the home.

In other words, think of pricing your home as a target. Your goal is to aim directly for the center – not too high, not too low, but right at market value. Pricing your house fairly based on market conditions increases the chance you’ll have more buyers who are interested in purchasing it. That makes it more likely you’ll see a bidding war, too. And when a bidding war happens, you’ll likely get an even higher final sale price. Plus, when homes are priced right, they tend to sell quickly.

To get a look into the potential downsides of over or underpricing your house and the perks that come with pricing it at market value, see the chart below:

Why It’s Critical To Price Your House Right | MyKCM

Lean on a Professional’s Expertise To Price Your House Right

There are several factors that go into pricing your house and balancing them is the key. That’s why it’s important to lean on an expert real estate advisor when you’re ready to move. A local real estate advisor is knowledgeable about:

  • The value of homes in your neighborhood
  • The current demand for houses in today’s market
  • The condition of your house and how it affects the value

A real estate professional will balance these factors to make sure the price of your house makes the best first impression and gives you the greatest return on your investment in the end.

Bottom Line

Even in a sellers’ market, pricing your house right is critical. Don’t rely on guesswork. Let’s connect to make sure your house is perfectly priced.

Will Home Prices Continue To Rise?

Will Home Prices Continue To Rise?

Everyone is asking, “will home prices continue to rise”? Many analysts projected home price appreciation would slow dramatically in the fall of 2021 and then continue to soften throughout 2022. So far, that hasn’t happened. The major price indices are all revealing ongoing double-digit price appreciation. Here’s a look at their reports on year-over-year price appreciation for December:

To show that they’re not seeing signs of softening, here’s a graph that gives the progression of all three indices for each month of 2021.

Will Home Prices Continue To Rise | MyKCM

As the graph above reveals, last year, home price appreciation accelerated dramatically from January to July according to all three indices. Then, it began to decelerate in August when prices appreciated at a slower pace, but it didn’t decline. Many thought that would be the beginning of a rapid slowdown in the level of home price appreciation, but as the data shows, that wasn’t the case. Instead, prices began to level off for a few months before two of the three indices saw appreciation re-accelerate again in December.

To clarify, deceleration is not the same as depreciation. Acceleration means prices rise at a greater year-over-year pace than the previous month. Deceleration means home values continue to rise but at a slower pace of year-over-year appreciation. Depreciation means prices drop below current values. No one is forecasting that to happen.

In fact, the FHFA revealed that price appreciation accelerated in December in six of the nine regions it tracks. Case Shiller showed that appreciation accelerated in 15 of the 20 metros they report on. As Selma Hepp, Deputy Chief Economist at CoreLogic, explains:

“After some signs of slowing home price growth . . . monthly price growth re-accelerated again, indicating home buyers have not yet thrown in the towel.”

What Does This Mean for You?

Whether you’re a first-time purchaser or someone looking to sell your current house and buy a home that better fits your needs, waiting to decide what to do will cost you in two ways:

  1. Mortgage rates are forecast to rise this year.
  2. Home prices should continue to appreciate at double-digit levels for some time.

If you wait, rising mortgage rates and high home price appreciation will have a dramatic impact on your monthly mortgage payment.

Bottom Line

Maybe the best thing to do is listen to the advice of Len Kiefer, Deputy Chief Economist at Freddie Mac:

“If you’re thinking about waiting until next year and that maybe rates are higher, but you’ll get a deal on prices – well that’s risky. It may be more advantageous to purchase this year relative to waiting until 2023 at this time.”

The #1 Reason To Sell Your House

The #1 Reason To Sell Your House Today

What is the #1 reason to sell your house? Maximize your profit on one of your largest investments. Selling your home in today’s market will allow you to take advantage of a once in a lifetime seller’s market.

Almost every industry is currently struggling with supply chain disruptions. This also applies to the current U.S. housing market, where buyer demand far exceeds housing supply.

Purchaser demand is very strong right now. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) just released their latest Existing Home Sales Report which reveals that sales surged in January. Existing home sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.5 million – an increase of 6.7% from the prior month, with sales up in all regions. However, there’s one big challenge.

Inventory Is at an All-Time Low

Because purchaser demand is so high, the market is running out of available homes for sale. The above-mentioned report states that the current months’ supply of inventory of homes for sale has fallen to 1.6 months. This prompts Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at NAR, to say:

“The inventory of homes on the market remains woefully depleted, and in fact is currently at an all-time low.”

Earlier this month, realtor.com released their inventory data for January. It helps confirm this point. Here’s a graph comparing inventory levels for January over the last six years:

The #1 Reason To Sell Your House Today | MyKCM

As the graph shows, new listings coming on the market have decreased over the last four years (shown in blue in the graph). The graph also reveals that carry-over inventory has plummeted in recent years. This is because listings are now sold so quickly, they don’t stay on the market long enough to carry over month-to-month (shown in green in the graph). In other words, homes are not staying on the market for months as they had prior to the pandemic. In the report mentioned above, NAR reveals that:

“Seventy-nine percent of homes sold in January 2022 were on the market for less than a month.”

Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist at First American, explains it like this:

“A higher velocity of sales (lower [Days on Market]) helps to explain a housing market characterized by both higher sales & lower inventory. Many resale transactions are happening so quickly that they ‘flow’ in & then out of the ‘stock’ between the fixed monthly measurement of inventory.”

What Does This Mean for Sellers?

Anyone thinking of putting their home on the market shouldn’t wait. A seller will always negotiate the best deal when demand is high and supply is limited. That’s exactly the situation in the real estate market today.

Later this year, inventory (and by extension, your competition) will increase as many homeowners are waiting to put their homes on the market in the spring and early summer.

In addition, Len Kiefer, Deputy Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, says:

“Housing starts start off 2022 strong, just edging out 2021 for most in January since 2006.”

As these newly built homes are completed, they will also become competition for your house. This gives you a tremendous opportunity right now. Don’t wait for that increase in competition in your area. If you want to sell in 2022 and are ready to start the process, today is the day to list your house.

Bottom Line

If you’re ready to sell, let’s connect to get your house on the market while today’s inventory situation is in your favor.

Naples January Real Estate Recap

Naples January Real Estate Recap

Naples January Real Estate RecapThe current Naples January real estate recap for the area showed 818 properties sold for just over $980 Million! The highest priced property sold for $34,995,000 in Port Royal. And, the luxury market remained strong as evident by the 182 properties sold at or above $1 Million.

Unlike last month when closed sales increased year-over-year, during January closed sales decreased 28 percent compared to the same time the prior year. On a positive note, there was a 34.5 percent increase in new listings which resulted in 19,277 more showings. The new inventory led to a 32 percent increase pending sales compared to December, yet it was still 38 percent lower than January of 2021.

While it was great to see an uptick in new listings to start the year, the amount of demand showed no sign of slowing. As quickly as homes were added to the market, they went to contract. As the normal rules of supply and demand dictate, the low inventory in Naples combined with the demand level caused the median sales price to rise 39 percent!

Yet, that doesn’t mean there isn’t opportunity. Our team has a process in place to help notify clients within seconds of a new listing going live. For those looking to move forward with a home purchase in the short term, we will arrange for a virtual tour and provide an assessment of the property. For those who just want to stay informed about specific neighborhoods, you can view properties at your leisure through our property portal.

If you are considering selling, now is a great opportunity to cash in and maximize your profits. We recently listed a golf condo for sale in one of the best bundled golf communities in town and after 100 people visited the open house, multiple agent showings our seller received several offers at top dollar. Contact us today for a complementary market analysis – 239.370.0892.

  • Overall pending sales decreased 38 percent versus the same time period.
  • Inventory dropped 75 percent down from 4,474 homes to 1,122 homes for sale.
  • Average days on market fell 70 percent down to 24 days.

While single family homes saw a significant median price increase up 25.1 percent, condos saw an even bigger increase up 47.2 percent. At the end of the month, there were 684 single family homes for sale in all of Collier County and only 438 condos for a total of 1,122. And, as of today, inventory is down another 18 percent leaving us with just 915 properties for sale. Once again, there is positive news about new listings. Within the past 24 hours, we added 70 new properties to the market.

The hottest price range was for single family homes and condos priced between $500,001 and $1,000,000. Closed sales were 71.2 percent higher year-over year. Luxury homes priced between $1M and $2M saw a 46.1 percent increase and ultra luxury homes priced above $2M saw an increase of almost 34 percent.

Bottom line? If you are buying a home in our area you’ll need to move quickly if a property presents itself. Be prepared to submit an offer within hours not days. We continue to see the best properties go to contract within 24-48 hours with multiple offers above list price. To give you a sense of how fast properties are moving, during January 42 percent of homes were under contract within 5 days of being listed which was up from 38 percent in December.

For those of you considering selling, it may be time to cash in on the high buyer demand will it remains strong. If you want to be sure you are maximizing the value of your home, call, text or email us today. Your property may be worth more than you realize.

January Housing Market Update

Lee County January Housing Market Update

Southwest Florida January Housing Market UpdateThe January housing market update for Lee County showed there was more than $820 Million in properties closed during the month, up from $792 Million during the prior year. Both single family home and condo sales year-over-year decreased double digits in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers.

Once again the percentage of cash transactions during the month increased slightly up from 45 percent to 47 percent. If you end up in a multiple bid situation, be aware many sellers prefer a cash offer over a finance offer.

Florida remains a prime destination for people relocating to the area. A recent study shows we are the 4th most tax-friendly state behind Wyoming, Nevada and Alaska.

We have real estate specialists who cover the Gulf Coast from Marco Island to Sarasota, so if you’re considering moving to the area, contact us for more information.

Lee County January Housing Update – Single Family Homes

 

2022 January Housing Market Update Single Family Homes

January 2022 versus January 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:

  • Closed sales decreased 10.2 percent going from 1,224 transactions down to 1,099 sales.
  • Pending sales decreased 13.6 percent down from 1,901 last January versus 1,643 this January.
  • Inventory fell 31.1 percent down to 1,517 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when 2,203 homes were for sale.
  • New listings decreased from 1,610 down to 1,574 which was a 2.2 percent decline.
  • Median days on market fell to 17 days which was a 41.4 percent decrease versus January of 2021.
  • Available inventory of single family homes ended January with a 1 month supply of homes available for sale, or a 41.2 percent decrease.

Similar to last month, single family home prices showed a significant increases in the median sales price, up 26.4 percent for January of this year compared to last year at the same time. Even though industry experts continue to say growth will slow, we have yet to see that reflected in the actual local market data. As long as inventory remains extremely low, prices will continue to rise.

Lee County January Housing Update – Condos and Townhomes

2021 December Housing Market Update for Lee County

 

January 2022 versus January 2021 Condo Highlights:

  • Condo sales decreased 17.2 percent going from 618 real estate transactions down to 512 sales.
  • Pending sales decreased 32.2 percent down from 1,135 last January to 769 this January.
  • Inventory decreased 73.1 percent down to 436 condos for sale compared to last January when there were 1,621 units for sale.
  • New listings decreased from 878 down to 769 which was a 12.4 percent decrease.
  • Median days to contract fell to 10 days which represented an 78.3 percent decrease versus January of 2021.
  • Available inventory of condos ended January with less than 1 month supply of properties available for sale which was a 76.9 percent decline.

Condo sales followed similar patterns as the previous couple of months. Once again, the number of sales and inventory saw declines. Inventory levels of condos are especially challenging with less than a months worth of properties available for sale. Yet, similar to single family homes, there are still opportunities as new listings are added to the market every day.

Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single family homes. So now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market. Wondering what the benefits are of using an agent sell your home? Learn why you may not want to go it alone…
