HOME SELLERS: NOW is the time to get your home on the market!
The high volume of first time home buyers in the late fall means that many home sellers have to now buy ANOTHER home. It could be yours. I am expecting real estate sales to dip as the season progresses but not nearly at the steep pace of previous years. Interest rates are currently in the 5% range, making home ownership the most affordable in 35 years. Update 11/6/09: THE EXTENSION OF THE FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER TAX CREDIT is now another reason to list your home for sale NOW. If you wait until spring, you risk a high number of foreclosures on the market (which will further depress your home's value), more homes from other sellers who believe that the spring will be a preferable season and the risk of higher interest rates (making homes less affordable than they are now).

November 2009 Update
I continue to see evidence of a turnaround in the Kansas City real estate market, but I think that it will be short-lived and highly dependent on the success of the Homebuyer Tax Credit program. Unemployment is now over 10%, meaning that people will have trouble paying their bills -- including their house payments. Banks have already been sitting on a glut of potential foreclosures and the recent economic news would indicate that foreclosures are going to increase. Mortgage default rates are "through the roof" and increasing. I typically see a sharply rising sales curve in the spring & summer, but I am expecting the curve to flatten over the next year, beginning now. We may not in fact even see much of a winter slowdown. Nor are we likely to see a huge jump in the summer. Currently, interest rates are low. The tax credit program has been extended for a few months. So all may be well over the short term. Long term, we are yet to deal with underlying supply/demand problems in the housing sector. In addition, net job growth in greater Kansas City will be essentially zero for the next 3 years, so don't expect higher-priced homes (associated with employee relocations) to improve anytime soon.
So what's my forecast?
1. Flat demand (and perhaps BETTER sales) for the next 4 months than we saw in 2007 & 2008 at this time. There will be those who say "the housing crisis is over" but that is simply idiotic and wishful thinking. We have a temporary surge in activity because of the tax credit money and artificially low interest rates.
2. NOW is a great time to get your home on market if you're in the $110,000-$200,000 price range.
3. NOW is the time to reduce your price if you are in the $300,000+ price range.
4. More foreclosures & defaults over the next 12 months, creating downward price pressures on home values.
5. Rates remaining low at this point, but gradually rising.
6. In summary, reasonably good news for now but clouds on the horizon. These clouds could disappear or be a horrible storm. Expect volatility month-to-month. You'll hear good news one month and bad news the next.
7. It will take 2-3 more years before things finally stabilize. At what level it stabilizes is anyone's guess. "What is the 'new' normal?"
ONE THING FOR SURE -- this is also a time to align yourself with a high quality real estate agent. I have been in the real estate business for the last 4 years -- arguably the roughest 4 years in the history of the business. I have helped my clients save thousands of dollars by helping them position their homes for sale (if they are sellers) or helping them capitalize on bargains (if they are buyers). Don't jump in the deep water alone if you don't know how to swim or aren't familiar with the water. Call Dave Duncan today at (816)878-2774 for a complimentary consultation.

Client Testimonial October 2009 - Thank You, Anita!
"You had one hard townhome to sell when you sold mine. But you went the distance and then some. I have never seen anyone in real estate that works as hard as you. Certainly no one as creative. You always vamped and revamped and tweaked and retweaked ...till it worked. I can never thank you enough for all that you did to make my townhome sell at such a bad time with all the fire damage and construction going on at McCaslin's Estates. All that and you are a pleasure to work with." -- Anita Swafford

NEED TO KNOW WHY THE HOUSING PROBLEM HASN'T YET CORRECTED? READ THIS:
The debate over the contentious issue whether the housing market has reached its bottom and is on its way up is quite intriguing. The housing market has not yet reached its bottom. There are four temporary items in place that are tricking people into calling a bottom. The result is an artificial restriction of supply and artificial pumping of demand.
.
1) It’s the seasonally strongest buying season (seasonal demand)
2) There’s a foreclosure moratorium about to end (suppression of supply)
3) Federal tax credits offered for 1st time homebuyers (artificial demand)
4) Historically low mortgage rates (artificial demand)
Thinking about waiting until the market corrects to sell your home?
Time is NOT on your side. Sell NOW.

Question: What are the odds of a successful short sale?
Answer: 20%
Question: Why is the success rate so low?
Answer: Because few agents know what they are doing.
Question: What is Dave Duncan's success rate?
Answer: 100%
With 20% of Missouri & Kansas homeowners now owing more on their mortgage than their home is worth, can you really afford to hire someone who doesn't know what they're doing? Answer: NO.
Your home will most likely be dropping in value while the short sale process is underway. If the short sale fails, you have a serious problem on your hands.

Housing Prices
Kansas City Home INVENTORY (January 2009 vs. January 2008): DOWN 15%
Kansas City Home SALES (January 2009 vs. January 2008): DOWN 27%
If demand drops more than supply, home prices will fall.
AMAZINGLY SIMPLE ECONOMICS.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR HOME SELLERS?
1. If you want to maximize the price of your home sale, sell it NOW not later.
2. Pick a real estate agent based on their expertise and track record.
3. Time = money. This market will cost you a bundle of money if you don't pick your agent wisely.
4. If you are waiting for the market to "come back" you will be waiting 3-4 years to sell your home at today's price levels.
5. "Hope" is not a plan.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR HOME BUYERS?
1. "Unless you are a psychic or gambler, now may be the right time to buy a home" - quote from "SHIFT", by Gary Keller
2. First time home buyer tax CREDIT of $8,000 now available as part of the "stimulus package". FREE MONEY NOW AVAILABLE!
3. Home inventories are decreasing. Your home selection is decreasing. Wait too long and you'll be buying a crappy house.

"Hello my new Real Estate Agent Superman! Truly, it is pleasure to be working with you. You can't imagine the difference in how I feel knowing that my agent actually has an interest in selling my home, actually goes above & beyond. Quite amazing in the difference." - A. Swafford |
|
"I do owe you BIG! You have no idea how much it means to me to know you are so knowledgeable and competent!"
- L. Frost |
"We'll recommend you to anyone we know in KC that might be moving." -- M. Cramer |
MISCELLANEOUS "STUFF" BELOW
NOW is the right time to BUY or SELL!
|
|
|
- Inventories are leveling off NOW. The slowdown in this huge run-up in the number of homes on the market will give you less choice.
- The quality of your home choice is going down NOW. The best homes are available right now, because increases in inventories will be fueled by crappy looking foreclosures or by homes that have been on the market because they are overpriced or in non-optimal condition
- Interest rates are LOW ... right NOW!
|
- Buyers are LOOKING for good homes
- Lending will continue to tighten up for buyers, which means that financing terms for buyers are favorable. That means that the odds of finding a qualified buyer are greater NOW than they will be down the road
- The flood of expected foreclosures will drag the price of your home down. Your home price will go down. You will get maximum dollar for your house NOW.

Eliminate Your Risk of Listing Your Home
When you choose an agent to sell your home, you assume 2 main risks:
|
MONEY RISK |
PERFORMANCE RISK |
|
This is the risk you assume by paying an agent too much money to sell your home. I minimize this risk by showing you how I can reduce your commission to as low as 3.5%. |
This is the risk you assume when an agent locks you into a lengthy contract. I minimize this risk by allowing you to opt out of any contract after 30 days. |
|
THANK
YOU! |

Referrals are the lifeblood of my real estate business!
"Thank you!" to my fantastic clientele! In the past 18 months, your satisfaction has vaulted me into a very exclusive group of agents ... the top 5% of all agents in Kansas City! |

It's
Tough. |
|
But Not Impossible. |
|
We've all heard the horror stories about the devaluing of real estate in today's market. The fact is that fair pricing is probably the most important factor in selling your home. Your realtor's job is to determine the best selling price for your house - one that's fair for you, but not so high that it becomes a detriment to the selling process. |
|
Relevant experience counts in today's market in an important judgment like this one. Dave Duncan has successfully sold over 65 homes in the last 2 years - "tough years". Dave is the same real estate agent who will help you through difficult times as well as good times. I'm only a phone call away. Call me. (816)878-2774. |
