Inventory down, rates bump up…
Note to self…in the future, do not hold an
open house on St. Patrick’s Day that is also NCAA Selection Sunday!
I’ve been negotiating an offer for a
client the last few days…I don’t think it will end in a sale, it looks like the
buyers were just fishing for a steal…news flash…the market is changing!
I showed a bunch of homes (16) on Friday
and Saturday to new clients. One is
moving back to Indy while the other is just moving back to their childhood city
and bumping up to what I call the “high school” home.
The closing last Friday was uneventful,
just the way I like them! The big story
here is how my mortgage professional picked up the ball after my client’s out
of town bank dropped it. The closing statement
and funds where at the title company in 8 days and ready a full day before
closing! If you need this type of
impossible to find service, let me know and I’ll get you connected.
Meet with some potential new clients about
selling their home yesterday morning and I’ll looking forward to getting them
on the market and sold!
Also going on is two inspection and
inspection responses that my buyers are working through. We could have an interesting outcome of one…the
home is being sold by a relocation company and there are a number of bigger
issues that need to be addressed. So, we’ll
see if they are going to fix them, reduce the price or just give my clients a
big check at closing to make the repairs themselves.
The listing of mine that sold last week
also had its home inspection which came back as one of the cleanest I’ve ever
seen so that makes it easy…now to pass the appraisal. We are a little concerned, happy to have
maximized my clients sold price but selling on the high side of the development
also pushes the limit of appraisers.
So in a few hours I’ll be on my way to Austin
Texas to the 2013 ERA International Business Conference! This is ERA’s
annual conference and it moves around the country each year. I’m going to
pick up a new certification, which I’ll tell you more about next week, and
attend all the educational and business building classes I can…hopefully I’ll
get to enjoy the 80 degree weather and the city of Austin a little bit as well.
Rates for the week
