We are in crazy time in real estate right now. Beautiful weather brings out buyers and sellers, and all of that pent up waiting from the Winter is unleashed. It is at this time that I like to remind you that patience is the best virtue in real estate.
For example, I recently had clients call with an “emergency” and they were racing at a million miles a minute over the phone. I listened to them and then calmly walked them through all of their options, some of which they didn’t even know they had. They were quite happy by the time they hung up, because the “emergency” was nowhere near as bad as they had assumed.
I love that I have so much experience. I have sold hundreds of homes as a realtor. I have owned rental property. I have flipped houses. I have done deals on the commercial side, and now I am even learning to help manage and grow commercial properties as well. It is amazing how something that you learn in one space can affect how you approach another space.
I would love to put that experience to work for you no matter what it is you need it for. Yesterday I was talking with someone that already had a realtor and I still ran a market analysis of their house so that they could have peace of mind. I love to help!
On to the market:
Looking at the DMAAR Home Stats, the latest numbers that they have for 2019 are for March. They definitely tell a story. In March 2018 we sold 1,123 houses. In March 2019 we sold 907 houses. That is a 19.2% drop!
I will be very interested in seeing April’s numbers once they are published. I think we are going to see a huge spike up in April and May. With the terrible winter that we had that just ended a month ago (mid-March), people were staying inside. We have so much pent up demand on both sides (buyers and sellers) that we are going to need a lot of houses to look at.
I love doing what I do. I love looking at the market, and I love building relationships with the people that I get to help. Let me know how I can help you. Call me today. You can reach me at 515.639.0047 or RyanLynch@KW.com. I am good at what I do, and I want to help you.
