Market Update – List Price = $719,000

This was a 30 day market update that I sent to one of my current clients. At the end is a video that describes Market Absorption.

As promised, here is a quick review of the market with regard to your property.   We’ve been listed for 30 days, this is typically when I’d recommend a price adjustment if there haven’t been any offers, or prospects who have come back for a second look.  

There have been 13 sales of homes listed under $799,999 since we listed on 10/10.  Please review those properties with an eye to comparing them to your property:

There are 47 available single family homes that are listed under $799,999:

The absorption rate in this price range is under four months (47 available, 13 sales in the last 30 days) – this is is a normal market – there are enough buyers for the current inventory (watch the video below to for an explanation of this term).   Yet we aren’t getting the volume of showings that I’d expect.   I recommend reducing the price so that it is under the $700,000 price point, bringing it into a range that will attract a buyer who does not want to spend over $700,000.
