Good News Friday Podcast Week 30(4 Minutes and 2 Seconds)
Hello and Welcome back to Good News Friday! Today is Friday February 25th, 2010. My name is Bruce Karasik.
One of the most common asked questions I am asked is “How’s the Market?” “How’s the Real Estate Market doing?” What people are really saying to me when they ask me those questions are not, How is the Real Estate Market, they are asking How is MY market? What I have learned is that there is no one market. The Real Estate market in Las Vegas, Newport Beach, and Chicago are all very different markets. Even the market in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and Simi Valley are different markets, and there are some neighborhoods where homes are selling in days with multiple offers, and some neighborhoods where it is taking many months to sell a home. So what people really want to know is not how the general market is, they want to know, how homes are selling in their neighborhood. How many homes are there for sale? What are they selling for? How long have they been on the market? Are there any short sales or foreclosures that have affected prices in my neighborhood? So when I am asked that question, I just want to share with you how I am answering that right now.
Experience shows, it all depends where you live. I would love to do some research for you and send you an email that will tell you what homes are for sale now, what homes have sold recently and how long homes are taking to sell in your neighborhood. So you can feel secure in the knowledge that you have the most accurate information. This timely information will tell you right away how your market is right now! I imagine that information would be of value to you, would it not? So if you, or if your friend, neighbor, or family member that would like to find out what is going on their neighborhood, I would love to provide that information to them. And then I send a monthly email that keeps people informed on what specifically is going on in their neighborhood.
The key to success is having the right advisors and consultants in place so you can have the right strategy. As your trusted Real Estate consultants and advisors, we at the Karasik Team work in our unique ability. My unique ability is consulting, negotiating and overseeing the transaction details. We take a customized approach and enable our clients to make informed decisions to accumulate wealth through Real Estate. In addition, we can help you come up with a strategy to determine whether this is the right time for you to buy your first home or to refinance your existing home.
We continue to believe that homeownership will remain the best avenue for American families to secure their financial future. I look forward to our continuing dialog and we invite your feedback.
