Local real estate agents are cautiously optimistic about the 2009 real estate season. “Market conditions in 2009 are very different than years’ past,” according to Ted Thornhill, president of Janet McAfee Inc., located in Ladue. “On one hand you have a market that is perfectly set up for home buyers with good inventory, good pricing, good interest rates and motivated sellers. “On the other hand you have job insecurity, news of layoffs nationwide and slightly declining home values which create uncertainty for buyers and additional days on market for sellers which could influence value in a negative way,” Thornhill added. With business “slightly slower the first two months of this year than previous years,” Thornhill said the forecast for 2009 is one of “extreme caution, slightly optimistic with very slow upward growth beginning in the end of the second quarter of the year.” “When you come out of a year like 2008, you’re a little gun shy,” said Phil Hunt, broker/owner of Prudential Advantage Realtors in Webster Groves. “But indicators we have in our office show we’re going to have a good spring.” Hunt noted that 2008 sales in his office were down 18 percent over 2007, but 2009 is off to a good start. “We have seen an increase in our

Allen Rosen, branch manager of the Coldwell Banker Gundaker Des Peres office, characterized the current market as “sluggish.” He said Coldwell Banker Gundaker is looking to a slight increase in sales in the second half of 2009 and beyond. “There is still no better place to call home than St. Louis,” said Rosen. “We don’t have those giant peaks when the market improves but we also don’t have the valleys they are experiencing on the coasts.” Hunt agreed. “We’re blessed; we’re Now is not a bad time to sell if it’s done right, acstaying busy and we’re in cording to a local realtor. photo by Diana Linsley business,” said Hunt. “It has to do with the marketplace.” According to Hunt, house prices for the “central corridor,” Getting A Loan which includes the Webster GrovesFor those buyers, loan money is Kirkwood area, Clayton, etc., have available for qualifying individuals. been flat on most homes.

10 Questions To Ask A Realtor When Selling A Home The most important decision you make in the sale of your home is the Realtor you choose. Here are 10 questions to ask a Realtor: 1. Could you send me some information about yourself? You can often get a good idea of which agents are the most professional by looking at their promotional materials. If their own materials aren’t professional, how well are they going to market your home? Track how long each agent takes to respond to your request and how quickly they follow up. If they don’t respond efficiently to your listing requests imagine how they’ll handle potential home buyers.

2. How many homes have you listed and how many home have you sold in the last six months? Look for an agent who has experience with homes similar to yours and is active in your area. If your home has special features look for an agent with experience in those areas. Your agent should have a good record of selling homes, not just listing them. After all, this is your ultimate goal. 3. What is your average length of time from listed to sold? Don’t automatically assume the shorter time on the market the better. That could reflect selling homes quickly at lowball prices. Look at what the asking price was compared to the selling price. An agent who sells close to the asking price and is quick is effective at helping clients determine the right price and helping them get it. 4. How long have you been in business and what professional organizations do you belong to? The length of time a real estate agent has been licensed is not a sure-fire sign that they’ve been an active seller. They may have been in business for 10 years but only part time, whereas an agent who’s been in business for two years may be a real top producer. So take into account what professional organizations they belong to. The minimum should be a licensed professional who’s a member of the local real estate board and multiple listing services as well as the state and National Association of Realtors. Local community groups and associations are also pluses in terms of networking and commitment.

5. Do you have an assistant or support staff? By employing someone to handle the details of their business the agent can spend more time servicing your needs. However, make sure you know how much time an agent will spend and how much time their assistant will spend on the sale of your home. It may be fine if the assistant does most of the legwork as long as the agent is there at the most critical times of the transaction period. 6. How often will you hold open houses? Will they be public or by appointment only? Simply putting a sign on your lawn and holding open houses every Sunday will not sell your home. Too frequently open houses make the property a target for lowball bidders. Look for an agent with a specific plan for each open house. The plan should be just one facet

7. What listing price do you recommend and what is that price based on? Pricing is the most critical step to selling your home. Take great care in choosing an agent with the knowledge to price your home effectively. Keep in mind the selling price should attract prospective buyers to your home, get you top dollar in the current market and reflect the condition of your home. Be realistic and avoid “yes agents,” who will say “yes” to any request or price while your home languishes on the market. Lowball agents will try to talk you into an artificial price simply to sell as fast as possible.

REAL ESTATE AGENT PROFILES

Realtor Questions from page 6 8. What does the listing agreement entail, what are the beginning and expiration dates, and what are the fee amounts I will be paying? Have your agent go over every detail in the listing agreement with you until you understand it completely. Make sure the beginning and ending dates are on the agreement; a good standard for length is three months. Know exactly what fees you will be paying and remember that less is not always better. If the agent stands to make very little commission you can bet it will be reflected in the amount of time and effort that is spent marketing your home. If the agent reduces their commission to get the listing it may mean they intend to spend very little money promoting the property. A typical agency commission is between five and seven percent, of which the agent receives a portion upon closing. 9. What disclosure laws apply to me and what do I need to be aware of? Make sure your agent helps you with locating professional inspectors for the various mandatory home inspections

required in your area. Create a home marketing file including a property fact sheet, a property transfer disclosure statement, pest control report, applicable C.C. & R’s, applicable study zones report, structural engineering report, property profile from the title company, plans for alterations or additions, and special equipment report for pools, spas, sprinklers and alarm systems. Your agent should be able to handle this for you. 10. What types of things separate you from your competition and will you give me some feedback? How effectively will they advertise? Do they have 24-hour advertising capability? Will all the leads be followed up on by your agent’s team or will they go to other agents who may have other listings they would prefer to show? Agents who are innovative and offer new methods of attracting home buyers will measurably outperform agents who rely on methods of the past. Marketing effectively requires progressive strategies that add value and service for both buyers and sellers!

Determining Fair Home Sale Prices Real estate agents, online resources help buyers/sellers Determining whether a home is priced fairly requires market research and assistance from a real estate agent. You don’t want to pay more than you absolutely have to. There are a number of ways to get assistance on what homes are worth. • Real Estate Agent: Your real estate agent can be one of the best sources of information on housing prices. Because he or she is intimately involved in pricing homes in your neighborhood, the agent will have knowledge of comparative prices (comps) and know how

“The Results Lady”

the house you’re considering falls in a comparative market analysis. Choose an agent who is familiar with the neighborhoods you are considering. • Get an Appraisal: An appraisal on the property by a professional appraiser will help you determine a fair price. This will involve an inspection of the property, square footage and amenities. Your mortgage lender will require an up-to-date appraisal to accurately determine the funds to lend. • Go Online: There are a number of Web sites that can give you comp prices in the area, including your local newspaper’s Web real estate pages. Others will tell you what the final price was on home sales around the property you’re considering. You can compare these sales to what you are thinking about offering, based on what the homes have in common. It’s also a good bargaining tool to have this information on hand. • Consider the Averages: Some real estate experts say that the average people pay on the offer price is 94 to 96 percent of the asking price. This means if you divide the price you’re planning on paying by the listed asking price, you should come up with roughly 94 to 96 percent. Therefore, if you’re looking at

a home that’s being offered at $299,000 and you want to offer $275,000, your offer might be too low. ($275K divided by $299K is approximately 92%). Still, it is advised to offer a lower price early on to see if the homeowner accepts it, but to also leave room for negotiation. You may settle on $282,000 for the home, which is within the range of 94%. By making an offer on a home with information gathered in advance, you’ll be more likely to get your dream home at your dream price.
