Hey everyone, thanks for joining us again. As you can see from the graphic in the video above, our market is up on a national level, which is great news for everybody. We are seeing home sales go up by double digits in the West, Midwest, and South regions of the country. However, the Northeast is only up 1.6% and home prices are down by 1.6%.
So, what's happening in Syracuse? Well, since the bottom of the market in 2011-2012, Syracuse is only up 2.5%, which is not a lot. What does this mean for buyers and sellers? For sellers, it means they need to be aggressively marketed and aggressively priced, more so than the rest of the market, otherwise your home could sit there for a long time.
The average days on market nationally for a home is 30 days, but in Syracuse it's over 65 days. If you want to sell your home, this is the time of year to do so in our market. Homes that are properly staged, photographed, marketed, and priced will sell aggressively to the market, while homes that are casually priced and casually marketed will take much longer to sell.
So, call the agent you think has the best strategy for getting your home sold. If you'd like to hear ours, just give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to speaking with you soon!
Just because something is or isn't happening in our area, it doesn't
mean that the rest of the nation is experiencing or not experiencing the
same thing. This way of thinking often alienates us from other parts of the country. Take,
for example, the recent snowstorm we experienced. Outside of New
England, nobody is really dealing with what we are right now. The opposite of this happens in real estate.
What
has been happening lately is that 80% of houses over a certain price
range are being professionally staged and photographed. Why? Because
those homes sell for more money and sell faster. Although almost the entire nation stages and professionally photographs their homes, Central New York does not.
This
trend started about 7 or 8 years ago, but did not spread to our area
for whatever reason. When you look at homes online outside of Central
NY, you'll see that most, if not all of them, are professionally
staged. We understand that this is a national trend and and that 98% of home buyers begin their search online, so we
professionally stage and photograph all of our listings with help from 3
different staging companies and a professional photographer. If
you want to talk about getting your home staged and photographed so you
can sell it for more money in a shorter period of time, give us a call
or send us a quick email. We would love to be of assistance!

Hey there, I just wanted to stop by today and tell you about a great program coming up on February 6. If you are a fan of the ABC show "Shark Tank," or real estate in general, you already know who Barbara Corcoran is.
What you may not know about Barbara, however, is that she is a real estate guru. She has been extremely successful in the business for many decades, and is one of the top agents in the world based out of New York.
Coming up on February 6, Barbara will be featured on an episode of ABC's 20/20. Barbara is going to be talking about the dangers of the real estate market, from both a buyer and seller's point of view. This is sure to be a great talk with some really relevant information for anybody who is looking to buy or sell real estate in the near future.
Just wanted you to be aware of this program, I think it will be very informative for you. If you have any questions, I am just a phone call away. Talk to you soon!
