The Offer That Broke the Listing's Back

Part of being a good Buyers Agent means representing the buyers in a purchase.  For any real estate agent working with buyers, we all know that sometimes buyers can have unrealistic expectations.

This post is about an offer that broke the listing's back.

A property came up on the market as a new listing.  It was in the exact location the buyers were looking in, had the amenities they desired and met the other wants/needs.  So I sent the listing over.  The buyers agreed it was a tour-worthy property.

They liked it!  We toured the property three times and they decided to write up an offer.

Now, the history of the property . . . it had been on the market over 6 months.  It had several price drops and then the listing expired.  It was relisted with another brokerage with the new price . . . and that's when it popped up on my radar.

The history showed that in the 6 months it started off as an over-priced listing.  The new listing agent priced it right, IMHO.  It was getting activity now.  It showed well, and again, the price was right.

When the buyers made their offer . . .  the sellers didn't like it.  Even when I mentioned that this was priced well and they shouldn't be so focused on the list price but rather their closing costs.  They were expecting the sellers to come off list and pay closing costs.  I wrote up the offer per buyers' instructions.

The sellers countered.  And before we could even respond to their counter, the sellers did something I've never experienced in all my years as a licensee:

They pulled the property OFF THE MARKET! 

The listing agent notified me:  The sellers were pulling the listing off the market!

They had had enough!  From having the property on the market over 6 months, reducing the price, engaging a second agent, receiving the offer from the buyers . . . they were done.  Even though they countered, they pulled it without further option for the buyers to counter or engage in further negotiations. The sellers decided they would rent the home and they would hold on to it.  In the years to come, when the market appreciates at 3-4% per year (which is the norm for the area), they will be the ones to see the appreciation.

Inventory is down about 25% in my market.  This property matched the buyers wants/needs to a tee.  They lost this house because their offer broke the listing's back!  The sellers didn't even want to negotiate.  They were DONE.  Unfortunately, he buyers' offer was their . . . last straw!

Portland Real Estate Absorption Rates

First, let's discuss "Absorption Rates." The absorption rate is, bascially, the rate that homes sell in an area. The lower the absorption rate, the faster homes are selling (Seller's market). The higher the rate, Buyer's market.

• Sellers Market: 1 to 5 months supply of homes
• Neutral Market: 5 to 6+ months supply of homes
• Buyers Market: More than 6 or 7 months' supply of homes

How Is Absorption Rate Calculated?

To calculate the absorption rate, take the number of homes that sold in a month for an area and divide it by the total number of homes for sale at the end of the month. As you can see from the above graph, the Portland Real Estate Market has several Areas. To calculate the absorption rate for each area, I took the ACTIVE LISTINGS at the end of December 2011 and divided that number by the number of SOLDS, also the end of December.

A Year in Review - Portland Real Estate Absorption Rates in December 2010 Compared to December 2011

If this chart doesn't blow you hair back . . . these are the numbers comparing December 2010 to December 2011 absorption rates. You can clearly see that the Portland Metro Real Estate Market is changing. When I tell Buyers to think about buying seriously now . . . I'm not making that up.

Portland Real Estate | Market Report Dec 2011

This is a Portland Real Estate Market overview for the month of December 2011.

The market seems to be doing fine. But what this graph indicates is the pattern of listings . . . which are down for the month.  Matter of fact, listings have been off about 25% from last year starting in June 2011 and continuing to drop the remainder of the year.

Last month's report, Portand Real Estate Market report for November compared the new listings, pending sales and closed sales and indicated a drop of new listings for the month of November being down -18.1%

View Portland Real Estate November REPORT

What This Means for December 2010 vs. December 2011 MEDIAN Sales Prices?

Keeping with the <$18,400> difference between December 2011 vs. December 2010 the MEDIAN SALES PRICE in the Metro Portland Housing Market has also slipped:

December 2010 - Median Sales Price: $230,000

December 2011 - Median Sales Price: $216,600

The Median Sales Price in the Metro Portland Housing Market in December 2011: DOWN -5.8%

What the Numbers Say:

• New Listings - DOWN -11.7%
• Pending Sales - UP 19.3%
• Closed Sales - UP 10.3%

Absorption Rate

The absorportion rate of Portland real estate indicates 5.3 months of inventory in December

• Sellers Market: 1 to 5 months supply of homes
• Neutral Market: 5 to 6+ months supply of homes
• Buyers Market: More than 6 or 7 months’ supply of homes

Listings DOWN -11.7% in the Metro Portland Housing Market

Again, this is based on December 2010 compared to CURRENT December 2011. What this tells me is that:

• Sellers are NOT listing their property
• Sellers are NOT selling and moving-up
• Buyers ARE out
• Buyers ARE closing transactions
• Buyers ARE not pushing pricing upwards

Portland Real Estate Market Time is Holding Steady

For both December 2010 and December 2011 the Average Days on the Portland Real Estate Market is: Approximately 145 days Median: Median is a mathematical result that indicates that one half of the group is higher and one half lower. Average: All sold prices are added together into a sum, the sum is then divided by the number of houses that sold.

How Was the Portland Real Estate Market This Year?

It used to be that we'd say "I wish I had a dollar every time . . . " Now with inflation I wish I had $10 every time someone asks me "how was the Portland real estate market this year?"

The year started out slow, with the first two months showing only about 1,000 properties closed for both January and February.

What Where The Strongest Months in the Portland Real Estate Market 2011?

June seemed to be the strongest month for monthly solds. 1958 properties closed in the Metro Portland Market which correlates to the absorption rate for that month at 6 months supply of inventory.

May and August 2011 were strong months for PENDING sales in the Portland real estate market. 

With May 2011 have strong pendings, there's no wonder June showed strength in closed sales.  However, it didn't hold try with August pendings to September solds.

Listing Inventory DOWN in Portland

New listings to the Portland Real Estate Market were the strongest in May and then steadily dropped off the remainder of the year. I wrote an article about this in October 2011 Portland Real Estate Inventory Down.

Today we are observing Martin Luther King Day, a Federal holiday in the United States of America.

The impact of his movement was lost on me when I was living through it as a young girl.  I was 9 when he was assassinated and not into current events.  His death clearly impacted my Mother terribly . . . and that impacted me.

It was a Thursday, I remember because we had choir practice on Thursday nights.  I sang in the church choir.

The following Sunday, as a request to our Pastor, a special collection plate was passed around to collect donations for Dr. King's family.

My Mother was on the Altar Guild at that time and she was responsible for the collections and tithes. 

After church that Sunday my Mother was clearly upset.  I had rarely seen her cry, and she was crying . . . in Church.  It was upsetting to see my Mother cry and I asked what was wrong and why she was so upset.  She told me that someone had written a note and placed in in the collection plate which was circulated for donations.  She told me, through tears "Someone wrote 'It serves him right, the black devil.' " 

THAT impacted me . . . and I'll never forget the hate that was in that note which was placed in CHURCH!  It made my Mother so upset because it was her suggestion that this donation be taken up.  It was NOT her intention to have to see this type of hatred, bigotry and prejudice in church.  But there are a lot of people who hate . . . there is nothing new under the sun.  And because I saw my Mother cry, I remember what sadness she felt as a result of people's disdain for one another.

I SEEK HIGHER GROUND!

Last year I posted a really interesting article The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And a Knight in Tunisia.  I went back to read it today and WOW look at what happened in the months to come.

I stumbled on a project called "Playing for Change" and it's fascinating.  I thought this was a good day to share it.  Musicians from all around the world are synced together in a jam session.  Pretty interesting use of technology. 

The Playing for Change project has covered a lot of songs. Their cover of Mick Jagger's (The Stones) "Gimme Shelter" is great.  But, for today, I thought their cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" was befitting.

People playing for change . . .

a blues guitarist from Livorno, Italy, a tabla percussionist in Chinnai, India, vocalists in Paris, France and Amsterdam, Netherlands, the sounds of Detroit, MI are represented and Los Angeles.  Musical instruments from Tokyo, Japan to Sao Paul, Brazil, to Mali to Senigal -- that I have no idea what they're called -- ancient traditional instruments and worn guitars to new Yamaha drum sets . . .  all blended together to bring you "Higher Ground"

"I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down 
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't you let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around"

2012 First Time Home Buyers Special Offer - Home Inspection

Congratulations!  You've just made the decision to become a first time buyer! Or, at least explore the potential.  You realize that interest rates are great, you saved up for a down payment and/or closing costs and you wouldn't mind taking advantage of the first time home buying market.   

The New Year -- with fresh beginnings -- has you thinking about buying your first home in the Metro Portland market.  With that, you're doing your research, browsing homes on-line, reading up on all things "first time home buying" and you're finally ready to test the waters.

What to Expect As a First Time Buyer

Selecting homes to tour, setting up the tour, arranging for showings are all a major part of  the first time home buying process. 

Your buyers agent will help with the entire home buying process. Find a good agent!!  And then . . . make it fun and enjoyable . . . going out on tours to find your first home! Let your buyers agent worry about the details.  That's their job!  ;-)

Your Buyers Agent will help you identify suitable properties and perhaps you'll fall in love at first sight . . . Don't worry if you don't!  Most first time home buyers won't.   The average number of homes that are viewed before a first time buyer will make an offer is about 25 homes, on average.

Once you find a property you want to call home -- and make you an official first time home buyer -- your Buyers Agent will help you through the process. 

It can be complicated, especially since you're  buying a home for the first time.  But once your Buyers Agent prepares the offer and it's all ratified, there are several contingencies that need to be satisfied before the contract proceeds to the close of escrow.

One of those very important contingencies in the purchase contract is . . . THE HOME INSPECTION . . . and EBA Portland, LLC is offering a FIRST TIME BUYERS special offer.

What Ever Happened to Sweat Equity?

In my recent post Does Anyone Remember Sweat Equity Part I, my trip down memory lane had me recalling when I bought my first home when I was 19-years old. As mentioned, that was many moons ago.

To recap: At that time, some 30 years ago, a buyer looking to get into the home ownership game bought a home that needed TLC. It was expected that the homes available to us at that the, i.e., those first time buyer types, would not be in pristine, move-in, turn-key ready condition . . . unless we had the bucks to buy them. Most buyers did not. Heck I was making $750/month at my full-time data entry job. We knew, and expected, to put in our SWEAT EQUITY!

The Difference With Today's Buyers

It's my opinion that first time buyers are not thinking long-term plans. Perhaps the HGTV styled to perfection or the Extreme Makeover Home Edition (when a crew comes in and a week later: VIOLA . . . brand, spanky new home) creates this mind set?  

But here's a reality show taken right out of my own neighborhood.

BEFORE - Home for Sale In Beaverton

Sold for $179,000 on 6/22/11

238 Days on the market -- overlooked and under-appreciated

This property is right around the corner from me, about a mile down the road. I drive by it . . . I actually toured it last summer (last summer 2010) on a Sunday Open House.

Sure it needed some TLC, but was PERFECTLY habitable. 238 days on the market . . . price drops . . . I saw the FOR SALE sign all the time, wondering why no one snapped it up -- GREAT BEAVERTON AREA!!

Then one day, no more sign. I saw a work crew out there, painting, changing the windows. I thought "Good, someone found a terrific home."

Last week, when I received the current listing HOT SHEETS which shows the new listings that just hit the market -- once again -- this home is FOR SALE. When I looked up the property history . . . back on the market for $310,000.

From what read on the listing sheet and current photos, the property was updated and rehabbed.  List agent reports it as being "remodeled" from top to bottom.  Debatable.  To me there is a difference between remodeld from top to bottom and rehabbed, or updated from top to bottom.  But what do I know?

With 238 days on the market, the previous owner might have been VERY OPEN to an FHA 203(k) rehab loan. This property would have made a PERFECT candidate.

AFTER - Home for Sale in Beaverton

Listed $310,000 on 1/6/12

(all data current as of 1/10/2012 Listed with Century 21 Wright & Assoc )

 

2014 Sq Ft. Home 4Bed 2.5 Bath Family Room, 2 Car Garage, Fenced Yard, Light & Bright. Must See. Has Been Remodeled Top to BottomAll New Vinyl Windows, New Carpet, New Floors, New Appliances, New Paint Interior and out, New Landscaping, New Deck, All Wood Trim Has Been Refurbished, All New Plumbing & Electrical Fixtures.

From $179,000, toss in the updates (maybe $30,000?) and someone is wanting to net $100,000 off this puppy.

WHY aren't buyers in my market GETTING IT!?!

I'm a licensed General Contractor in the State of Oregon.  Bet you didn't know that?  My license is inactive but I still know a thing or two.
