8. More Than Just a Price Trend

  • Let me show you what I mean
  • Setting seller expectations
    • Percent Price Decreased: This is what happens to the over-pricers
    • DoM: heres what were looking at
  • Buyer off the fence
    • Inventory: Youre in the highest-demand segment
    • Average vs. Median DoM: the best properties moving more quickly
  • In the Yard Sign
    • I sold this home in a week. Ask me how.

9. Setting the Price Right % Price Decreased : Measures the number of active listings that have experienced a price reduction in the last 90 days 10. Inventory Trends: Understanding the Competition Dont assume clients know these trends! 11. Trends in New Listings New Listings are pricing BELOW the current Market Median Price 12. Market Analysis by Price Level (Quartile)

  • Quartile 1: Most expensive 25% of properties
  • Quartile 2: Top Middle 25%
  • Quartile 3: Bottom Middle 25%
  • Quartile 4: Least expensive 25% of properties
  • Example: 80 homes for sale in a market (city or zip code)
    • 4 "quartiles" (groups) each have 20 properties based on individual property prices.
    • Allows for market definition by price, not just geography
