Some Home Sellers Attract More Buyers

Real estate is an information business. Not too long ago agents had all the information, and buyers had to call to find out the address, price, directions and so much more. Can you imagine how much time that would take today?

Since the advent of the Internet buyers have access to the information they once never had.

Today agents must do just the opposite with the information. Get it everywhere they can before someone else does!

Where are the buyers looking? Everywhere they can.
Today, to attract the most buyers, the key is to get mass amounts of information distributed to potential buyers.

Today sellers shouldn’t be satisfied that their property information is just posted on a website.

Four Questions Every Seller Should Ask
Before They Agree to List Their Home.
1. How many potential buyers visit your website per day?

2. Can you show me a web visitors report for all your listings?

3. Do you have other types of websites that attract buyers?
• Video .TV website
• A mobile website
• Local newspaper sites
• iTunes
• Google

4. Do you have a strong print advertising plan, and what is it?

The market can be as good or as bad as your advertising plan. When choosing a company to sell your home, make sure their advertising plan is one that distributes mass information to the buyers - not one that waits for the buyers to come to their website.

Habitat for Humanity

Dawn Lambrix of our Pittsford office shares how she will start this holiday season: "Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I will be going to Coban, Guatemala to help build two homes for Habitat For Humanity. Tom, my "fiance of 19 years" will be joining me. We will dig foundations, raise walls, "butter up" blocks, tie rebar and who knows what else. We will be on the job from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Not so tough... I work more than that selling real estate!

Tom and I felt that we have been so blessed that it was time to give back. I think seeing the smiles on the faces of the new home owners and their children will be an amazing thrill for us. When you are eating your turkey, think of me. I wonder what our Thanksgiving dinner will be!"

September Home Sales Up 11.5% at Nothnagle Realtors

The National Association of REALTORS® reported that existing home sales fell by 8% in September, the largest decline to show up in records dating back to 1999.

Locally owned and operated Nothnagle Realtors reported their September sales up 11.5%. Although home prices are relatively flat, more areas in Greater Rochester are showing general improvements since the fourth quarter of 2006. The overall momentum in our local housing market clearly suggests a stable local marketplace. Our overall listing inventory has also played a part in our market.

The overall inventory of listed properties is down 8.4% which can be both good and bad. Sellers appreciate the lack of competition, and the lower supply of homes will help the current inventory sell quicker. Some potential sellers are undecided thinking that the market is slow, but in reality it’s a good time to list your home.
