Whew this last month has been full of houses and people and stories and tears 🥲

No real estate deal is easy anymore. Every house has people attached to it with struggles, losses, hopes, and new beginnings.

Every day on market is a fight against the 1,000 other houses who also want a contract from the 10 buyers shopping.

📉Constant marketing...

💡 Demands for creativity...

💸Phone calls, email blasts, social posts, paid ads...

You wake up every day and your first thought is about how to get more showings on your listings. You go to sleep worrying about the results of the inspection report.

It's a privilege and a burden to care about the outcomes of so many people's stories at once.

And I have some amazing clients who I truly enjoy getting to talk to every week for months on end. So thank you, for being awesome 🫶

🏡 Alright friends, buckle up.

This isn't another housing market update- these are the numbers you actually need to understand if you're selling a home in Aiken.

1️⃣On the first slide you can see we have had 345 homes close in the last 90 days. The data is organized by price point, because what's going on with a $200,000 house doesn't really mean anything to a $600,000 home listing.

2️⃣On the second slide you can see how many active listings are available in each price point TODAY.

3️⃣And on the third slide it takes these two pieces of data and tells us what this means for you- a home seller in Aiken.

🚨We have significantly more listings available than buyers shopping. Simple supply and demand tells us that means fewer home sales.

But depending on your price point- you can expect an easier or harder time selling... and more time needed.

📉The Absorption rate simply means how many months it would take to sell every home on the market if NO NEW LISTINGS came to market.

So if nothing else came on the market in Aiken in the 300-500K price point- it would take 3.7 months for every single home to sell.

Conclusion: if you're selling a house in Aiken and wondering "why isn't it sold yet?!" - this data is the answer.

Simply put: there are more homes than buyers available in every price point. Higher price points have a significantly smaller buyer pool, and close fewer homes every month. To get a contract quickly, your home will need to look the best AND be priced competitively. Showings will be slower, because there are fewer shoppers, and they have more homes to see.

🤔 What do you notice about this data?

More exposure usually means more money. 💰

So why would I ever recommend selling a home off market?

Because sometimes the best deal isn't the one that brings the highest price.

👉My seller was 89 and needed to move to Atlanta with her family ASAP. In today's Woodside market, with inventory up, homes sitting for 150+ days, and buyers having endless choices, we would've needed weeks of decluttering, staging, repairs, and prep before listing.

Instead, I had another option.

At KW, our agents share upcoming listings and buyer needs every week. I knew my colleague had buyers who had already seen everything in Woodside and were still looking.

They toured the home, fell in love, and we had a deal.

My seller packed up and moved within the week. I handled everything else here in Aiken, and we closed less than a month later.

Could she have made a little more by going on the market? Maybe.

But she saved time, stress, and thousands in prep costs...and got exactly what she needed.

In a stale market where most homes are 😢 sitting, this quick sale was a win-win. And it was made possible by each client having an agent who was constantly working in the background to help them achieve their unique goals.

Closing Day feels like the end, but it's not.

For our home buying clients, it's just the beginning. And everything we did leading up to closing day will affect their next chapter.

Allison is both a friend and a client (those are the best! 🥰)

She knew what she wanted, and I was honored to help her accomplish it.

Now every weekend that I'm doing yard work I'll think of her in envy because she saw past closing day and bought a house that gives her time back ⏰ 😅

Congratulations, my friend! 👏 🏡

Big thanks as always to a great closing attorney, Scott Patterson and his team for a smooth closing experience 🙌

🚨 JUST LISTED IN CEDAR CREEK

I love this house that just came to market in Cedar Creek, it's a perfect blend of classic southern charm and first class amenities.

✨I can see Easter dinners happening here, and walks down by the golf course on cool summer evenings.

🏡 The previous owner poured love and care into this home, from the brilliant hydrangeas that line the front of the home to constant cleaning and maintenance- the next owner will be stepping into a house that takes care of them.

Just listed for $465,000, this stunner is ready for it's next owner.

👋 Welcome to my newest segment: I'm just gonna say it.

Because I've had too much coffee and decided to tell ya how I feel ☕️

I think every town has that one brokerage or mega team that predictably cancels, is late to, or ghosts when they schedule showings on your listings.

It's gotten to the point where if I get a showing request from said brokerage I don't bring it to the owner until the day before, because 75% of the time they cancel or re-schedule.

And once it is scheduled it's like pulling teeth to verify they even showed up for the showing at all. 🙄

We know what's happening here.

They've created a business model which relies on buying leads from home search sites and setting up showings with little to no qualification of the "buyer"

As a listing agent, it's my job to protect my seller from looky-loos and non serious folks. Especially when the house is occupied. Especially when there's kids and pets to haul out for each showing.

Anywho- thanks for coming to my TED Talk and all serious real estate agents out there let's keep our eyes on those guys 👀 😅
