Metro Atlanta End of Year Traditional Buying Tips

As we find ourselves closer to the official end of year, we would like to talk about a few issues/trends that effect home buyers this time of year. As a general rule of thumb, the industry tends to experience a reduction in home prices around the holidays. This is mostly attributed to both sellers and agents hitting the panic button due to the overall slow down of showings. The thought process behind the lower price strategy during the winter/holiday months is that it will stimulate showings, and from our experience, it usually does.

With that being said, if you are looking for an amazing “year in clearance” deal, now is the time to capitalize on that opportunity. By and large, the winter season is divided into two parts: pre and post-holiday and real estate buying and selling trends are divided accordingly. As we mentioned earlier, prices tend to drop before and during the holidays due to low showings and overall real estate activity.

However, after the holidays are over and we move into the second half of the winter season, historically February is the 2nd highest volume month for the industry. February experiences an influx of new homes being placed on the market because many home sellers wait until after the holidays and closer to spring to actually put their homes on the market. We recommend that home buyers make the most of this increase of homes and use the law of supply and demand as a way to negotiate a lower price and also enjoy having more options to choose from. Basically, we are suggesting home buyers leverage the fact that because more homes come into the market the closer we get to spring, the more competition the sellers will have and the more leverage will be given to the buyer.

For any buyer that feels like they have left no stone unturned and they have still not found the perfect home for their family, we encourage you to be hopeful and continue your search because in about 60 days, the market will be flooded with new inventory.

If you have yet to find a home in your budget over the last year, we strongly urge you to re-look at the inventory as prices are dropping across the board and you may just find the perfect home at the perfect price during the winter months.

A Reflection of Gratitude and Thanks

Spending over 2 decades in a career that I feel passionate about has left me with a sense of gratitude and a true spirit of Thanksgiving. I am fortunate to earn a living helping my clients realize their dream of home ownership (or selling their home) and for that I am eternally grateful.

In the spirit of looking at the glass half full rather than half empty, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what I am grateful for in terms of both my personal and professional life.

My clients are amazing and I am thankful for the trust and awesome responsibility that they have given me. I do not take their belief in my ability lightly. I would like to personally thank each and every one of my clients for giving me a chance to develop a strong professional relationship that is based on integrity and open communication. My goal is to develop long term relationships with my clients and a testament to that goal is that I now have a 95% referral rate. This is truly the best compliment I could receive and I am proud that my clients believe in me enough to refer my services to their friends and family.

On a personal level, I am also cognizant of the fact that my love for my career has been supported and driven by the love I feel for my beautiful wife and children. I am thankful to have such a supportive personal team to give me the strength I need to deliver for my clients professionally. My family is my rock and I am more appreciative than you will ever know for everything they have given me.

On a different note, with most of the world’s news being bleak and dismal most of the time, I feel it is necessary to reflect on some of the good things that are going on in the real estate industry and even beyond.  With historically low interest rates, motivated sellers and buyers and a nation doing everything we can to re-build, now is a great time to be a home buyer or seller. I encourage anyone in the real estate market to focus on the positive aspects of the real estate market and consult with me or your REALTOR ® on ways to strategically overcome the difficult issues facing the market today.

In closing, I am grateful to both my clients and my family. I feel that much has been given to me and therefore much is expected and that is a challenge that I am excited to take on. After over 2 decades being in metro Atlanta real estate, there is nothing else I would rather be doing and for that I am so very thankful. I appreciate all of your love and support.

Best.

Paige Slyman

End of Season Part 2: Preparing to buy a home

In last week’s blog we discussed what home sellers can do during the approaching holiday season to increase their chances of selling their home in the new year. This week, we would like to shift gears and discuss what actions need to be taken at the end of the year to prepare for purchasing a home in the first quarter.

Historically, February is the 2nd highest listing volume month of the entire year. Many industry experts believe this is because sellers have a propensity to wait to list their property until after the holidays. With that being said, home buyers should be preparing now to ensure that they are ready to move forward with the buying process when they find the home they want to buy. Therefore, one of the best proactive tasks a buyer can do is get pre-approved for their home loan…NOW to prepare for the first quarter home selling season.

In closing, homes  in metro Atlanta are being reduced in price for a “year in clearance” if you will. Now is the time to make sure that you are set up for home buying success by taking the steps to get pre-approved for a loan.  Paige Slyman is an expert is assisting clients in the home buying process. Call him with any questions and to get insight on the best ways to prepare to buy or sell a home.

Part 1: Preparing for the next Real Estate Selling Season

As the holidays steadfastly approach, many people who have been unsuccessful in selling their home feel discouraged and perhaps even confused. Year after year, people all over metro Atlanta reach out to Paige Slyman to get his advice on ways they can set their home up for selling success. Think new year, new strategy.

Paige advises that there is 5 options for someone who has struggled to sell their home for a prolonged period of time.

Take a break
If your home has been on the market for an extended period of time without being sold, one of your options is to just simply “take a break” and wait for market conditions to improve. This option is not our first recommendation, but if you are frustrated and tried other strategies perhaps it is time for you to rest, regroup and come back into the market at a later time. Property management is a good option if you are looking to take a break.

Lower your asking price
Lowering your asking price is one of the most effective ways to increase your chances of selling your home. However, it is important to note that it is only advisable to lower your asking price after consulting with your REALTOR®. Your REALTOR® will practice the due diligence necessary to determine what the new price should actually be. They will also take into account what homes in your area are now going for, including foreclosures and short sales and adjust your asking price accordingly.

Change Marketing Strategies
If your current marketing strategy is not working, it is time to evaluate what you are doing right and wrong and make changes. Paige Slyman is an expert in counseling clients on both small and big tweaks to your current marketing strategy that can be implemented to increase your chances of selling. We also recommend visiting some of our previous blogs to get new ideas to enhance your current approach.

Property Management
Property management has become a very popular solution for a home that is having a hard time selling. By taking the home off the real estate market and placing it on a rental program allows you to have someone else offset the costs associated with owning the home, rather than have the home just sit empty. Often times, when homes are placed on property management the home owner can turn a nice profit each month as well, as rental prices are steadily rising. Paige Slyman also offers property management services.

Give Up
Your last option is to give up. However, before you do this, call Paige Slyman and let him come up with a customized and strategic approach to selling your home. Paige has spent over 2 decades guiding metro Atlantan home owners in the home selling process.

In closing, re-evaluation is key to success when selling a home that has been on the market for an extended period of time. Paige is an industry expert in real estate marketing strategy and can put you on the fast track path to selling your home.

Has the Thought of Selling Your Home Scared You to Death?

Selling your home can be a daunting task. Add to that increased market competition and buyer leveraging power and sometimes the thought of selling your home can leave you feeling lost and sometimes even scared. Never fear, Paige Slyman of Slyman Real Estate’s metro Atlanta branch is here to guide you through the maze of cluttered confusion to the bright beacon of light…Also known as “Sold.”

For over 2 decades, Paige Slyman has been guiding and advising clients on ways they can stand out among the competition. The below information is a continuation of previous blogs we have written regarding advice that home sellers can implement to increase their chances of selling their homes.

In this blog we want to focus on three key aspects that anyone selling their home during the fall and holiday season should incorporate in their selling strategy.

Stay Away from Decorations

Having a minimalist approach to decoration allows for potential home buyers to envision your house as their new home. Paige Slyman recommends keeping your home un-decorated when your home is on the market. Over decorating is simply too personal and interferes with the buyer’s ability to imagine them living in your home. If you must decorate for the holidays, it is advisable to keep it to a minimum.  This advice goes hand in hand with the notion that it is best to unclutter your home with religious items or other “collection” items that the potential buyer might not relate to on a personal level.

A Clutter Free Home is a Sold Home

Keeping your home totally uncluttered is very important.  With competition in the metro Atlanta real estate market becoming fiercer than ever, it is completely necessary to keep your home immaculate.  This goes for both the inside and outside of the home. With the autumn season upon us, anyone selling a home must keep up with the falling leaves and keep them out of your yard. An uncluttered home (both inside and out) is more likely to be sold than a home that is not as well maintained.

Shining Bright equals Quickly Sold

As the fall days slip into winter and the days get shorter, Paige Slyman suggests investing in the brightest exterior light bulbs possible. This allows your home to shine bright and seem available to potential home buyers when the sun sets. On a complete side note, it is recommended that you pull up your real estate sign only on Halloween night as sometimes kids like to steal them or damage them for fun.

In closing, selling a home is much more than simply putting a “for sign” in the front yard. Strategy and anticipating buyer needs and wants are imperative to ensure a successful and quick selling process. Paige Slyman is an expert in counseling clients in ways they can improve their current selling strategy.  Be sure to read previous and future blogs to get other ideas on ways you can improve your chances of selling your home. Paige Slyman is also available for an initial consultation by contacting him at the info below.

Fall into good home selling practices: Autumn best selling tricks of the trade

The summer real estate season is a distant memory and autumn is officially here. If you keep up with our blogs, you may recall that we have mentioned that statistically, more homes are sold in the spring and summer time than any other seasons. However, that does not mean that you should get down if your home is still on the market. After all, you have a lot of things on your side: historically low interest rates; motivated buyers that are actively searching and you have counsel and real estate representation from knowledgeable real estate professional, Paige Slyman.

As we begin the full transition into another season, we feel it is very important to discuss one extremely crucial real estate selling tactic re-evaluation. If your home has gone through the entire real estate season without being sold, it is imperative that you take an honest look why it has not been a viable contender in the hyper competitive metro Atlanta real estate market.

While statically spring and summer are the busiest real estate selling seasons, many of the same reasons buyers are interested in real estate in those months still exist throughout the year. A savvy real estate seller will evaluate the reasons why their target market might want to buy or not buy during a particular time and strategize accordingly. For example, if you have a perfect home for a family of five in a great neighborhood, your target market might be a young family with school aged kids. It might make logical sense that your target market would prefer to move in the summer time when the kids are not in school. Your strategic approach could be to include extra emphasis on the amazing school district that your home is in. In doing so, it might compel the young parents to “jump” at the chance to buy a home in such a wonderful school district, even if it is while their kids are currently enrolled in school. The moral of the story is this: take what you have and work with it. Play up the amazing things about your home and neighborhood.

Paige Slyman is an industry expert in counseling clients on unique ways to sell your home. If you are in need of selling strategies for your home, you can also review past blogs where we have gone into great detail on various approaches that have been tried and true tricks of the trade for both Paige and his clients. Fall into great real estate practices, and you will definitely increase your chances of selling your home this autumn.
