A Real Estate Market Update

First, Barbara and I want to thank you our REFERRAL ARMY for the referrals we have received this spring. Keep’em coming. We love sending out gift certificates!

We are selling homes. So far this year “the Barbara Snyder team” ranks 24th in the RE/MAX region compared to hundreds of teams over the 4 state region representing parts of MO, DS, OK, and AK. Again, thank you! We have time for more.

BUYERS – Best time in two generations to buy. Low interest rates, great inventory, and pricing. First time buyers - $8000 cash gift from Uncle Sam.

SELLERS – The optimism of the buyer to invest in Real Estate is translating into high interest and buyer no’s. A well priced and prepared home will have multiple buyers and sell fast. Move up sellers – you are in great shape (It’s a trade-off. Take a hit on the sale and make a big bite on your purchase).

If you are in no hurry to sell, then a 24 month delay to fix-up and prepare for sale is smart. Barb and I can assist you in the fix-up decision. Our Rule – Don’t put $1 in without more than $1 of value coming out. You can text questions to us on our text box at our website.

Here are the best returns on fix-up decisions:
-Paint
-Carpet
-Kitchen upgrades
-Bath room upgrades
-Windows/siding

Over $400,000 sellers – consider adding granite in the kitchen (Prices are down –for example $40-43 per square ft.) Take all wall paper off if possible.

Need a handy-man? Look up your choices on our new Business Network at our website.

“Not for 50 years has the environment been better for the buyer!”
David Ramsey

The inventory of homes, interest rates, incentives, foreclosures and seller attitudes make an inviting environment for the buyer.

First Time Home Buyers – The $8000 cash gift by Uncle Sam is outlined in the "Government Gives Cash to First Time Home Buyer" blog below.

Investors – Looking for rental or rehab property at a time when demand by quality renters is up.

Move-up Sellers and Buyers – Yes the market may be low – The opportunities for new and higher end properties are even greater! Want to trade a 10% discount for a 15% to 20% opportunity on more value?

GOING TO LIST? - The buyers are active right now. A well prepared home with W0W factor will sell! SNYDER and Associates provide professional home staging at our cost.

TO SERVE YOU – Our daughter Laura Snyder Belcher has joined us to serve you in Client Care and support. Barbara and Wayne, Pattie Meizis, John Burgess in Professional practice and Wendee Hawn, Licensed, in Marketing.

In Case You Were Wondering….
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.
Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Monday is an awful way to spend one-seventh of your life.
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
