The South Coast Real Estate Round-Up

 “You Don’t Make Money When You Sell Real Estate, You Make Money When You BUY It!”

Do you see the statement above?  Someone once told me it was written backwards…that you only make money when you SELL real estate 

But that statement IS accurate.  You see, you might receive your sales proceeds when you sell your home, but it’s how well you BOUGHT your home that will determine HOW MUCH your proceeds will be. 

But the story doesn’t end there.  Finding the right home, and making a prudent financial investment is more involved than just “buying right.”  You also need to FINANCE it right.   

Even Experienced Homeowners Make Costly Mistakes When Buying and Financing Their Home 

You’ve worked too hard for your money to needlessly give it away! That’s why I created a Special Home Buyers Report. Below is a just a taste of the information and insights provided in this free report. For complete access to this special report simply complete the form below. It’s packed with insider secrets that could save you thousands!

In this FREE Home Buyer Report we'll review:

How to Understand Your Wants versus Your Needs:

Before diving into the house hunt, it’s important to figure out your needs versus wants. Knowing what you truly need helps in making informed decisions and avoiding unnecessary stress. In this informative report we’ll help you differentiate between features and benefits so you can refine your focus and prevent any disagreements if you're buying with a partner.

How to Determine Affordability and Saving on Financing

In this FREE report we’ll review how interest rates, points and other terms matter to your bottom line. Plus we’ll review how you can determine what might be best for you based on your own personal needs.

How to Evaluate Homes Smartly:

We will also give you insights on how to evaluate homes smartly. Understanding the market's trends and comparing them to local market information will save you thousands when making an offer on a home.

Ways to Save on Your Offer and Negotiating the Deal:

The Federal Reserve's rate hikes may not yet have had an impact on the RED-HOT Fall River Multi-Family home market. Where it is having an impact is transaction volume!

Even with mortgage rates more than double the lows of 2021, the lack of inventory continues to support home values.

Year over year median sales price for multifamily homes on Fall River MA is up over 16 percent from May 2022.

Median days on market is up slightly to 22 days. While the list to sales price ratio was down slightly but still at 100%.

The place where the recent interest rate hikes have had an impact is transaction volume.

Listing volume is down over 15%. Units that went pending was down over 33% and units sold was also down over 33%. And possible insight into things to come, pending sales are down almost 40%.

Fewer homes, and fewer buyers that qualify at today's current prices results in fewer transactions. Or course, all real estate is local, so let us know if you would like to know more about what is happening in your neighborhood and if you like these updates, please like and subscribe so you can stay in the know.

 The number of homes listing in February jumped 138% from the previous February.

There were 31 single family homes listed for sale in February compared to just 13 last February. That’s a 138% increase from the previous year.  This is good news for our inventory staved market. And more inventory means more options for buyers.  

Months of supply jumped 195%. But even with that large jump there is still only 1.18 months of supply on the market. Well below a healthy real estate market.  

Days to an offer was only up slightly, going from 21 days last February to 24 days this February.  

And, even with the higher interest rates side lining many buyers the median sales price was up 2.33 % to $375,000.
