Housing Market Bottom Found, Says Bank of America

Housing Market Bottom Found, Says Bank of America I've been feeling this way for awhile; the activity in the Albuquerque market is starting to feel a trend of 'normal'.  This doesn't mean, however, that prices are going UP , but it does mean that the inventory is trending towards meeting the demand.  More buyer interest, easier to get buyers qualified to buy , and sellers who have strategically priced their home to sell rather than 'testing' the market. The Albuquerque real estate market has a unique personality, let's profile it today!  Call or email me anytime for more information about the Albuquerque real estate market.

"Can I go see a few houses?" An Albuquerque Tale

So you have come to Albuquerque and just want to see a few houses? Ever wondered what it takes to get in to see a ‘few houses’ ?   Seems easy enough, sellers have their house on the market, it should be accessible at a moments’ notice to qualified buyers, right? Here’s a typical scenario: House A, House B, House C, House D, House E House A is shown by “lockbox call first” LBCF…buyer’s broker calls number and leaves a message that they will be showing the house at 2:00 pm (that’s what LBCF means, leave a message and then show)… House B is shown by “appointment with listing broker, appointment with seller”.   AWL, AWO   Buyer’s broker calls listing broker and leaves a message “we would like to show the house at 2:45 after our 2:00 showing at the first property.   Please confirm”     House C is shown “vacant lockbox”, VLB – this should be easy enough, that means it’s vacant and show anytime.   But the private remarks to the brok...

Don't tell!

This blog today is directed towards my fellow Realtors® and to their and future clients.... I've been getting alot of calls lately, that go like this "Hi, I'm [mumble] with [mumble] Realty, and I'm calling on that house you have on {fill in the blank}....Is it vacant?  What's the story?  Are the owners usually home?" Stop, look and listen!  I had a sneaky feeling a few times that these weren't really brokers, they were someone wanting something other than good things for that house and my clients.  What confirmed my feeling is when I would just simply tell them - "well, thanks so much for wanting to get more info, everything you need to know is in the MLS..."  The long pause that followed was the giveaway.  A few times the response was easily proven to be that of a legitimate broker with legitimate questions....the others were quite obviously not. Yes, there are people out there who want bad things for your properties.  In our Albuquerq...

Real Estate estate sales in Albuquerque

One of the most complicated elements of real estate is when you have to sell a house that it is an estate, or when your loved ones are moving on to a retirement home.  You are left with not only a home to sell, but you are also left with items left behind, repairs to do, and the unknowns in how to sell a home you have never lived in. I have a great team of experts that can assist you throughout the process. For the personal items left in the home, I have some great resources to offer.  I have participated in auction sales of personal items, antique appraisals and smaller estate sales of personal items.  My team of experts can help you no matter how large or small the project is. Some precious items have been left to friends and relatives?  I have a great mini-move service expert that can handle the smallest table to the largest piano and ship it anywhere in the country.  If you need a climate controlled storage facility to store items until they fi...

"Can I just go see this house right now?"

If you are an Albuquerque real estate professional, anywhere, you have received this call.  "Hi, I want to see this house right now." If you are a home buyer , or just a curious window shopper, you have probably made this call. Here is why that call is just not the best way to go about shopping for a home. 1 .   Have you talked to a lender about getting financing? I know, you don't think 'it's a problem', you know your financial situation like the back of your hand and you know you can get the money.  In fact, you might have it all in cash, stashed away just waiting for the right house.  But, if you can't provide your real estate professional that information, you may not get into the house!  Many sellers today are requiring that their homes not be shown to anyone who can't substantiate that they have talked to a lender or provided enough information to establish themselves as real home buyers.  This is a rather strange world we live in now,...
