If you’re like most real estate agents, your market is shifting before your eyes.  With interest rates up over 7% we’re seeing buyer demand pull way back and homes taking longer to sell.  How do we navigate through this shift and how do you as an agent position you’re self to flourish?

In this episode, we cover the realization that…

It came at the cost of:

 Paying over asking, sometimes $50k $100k more

 It often came with having to wave inspection to stand out from the other offers.

 It often came with no terms in favor of the buyer.

It came with a horrible shopping experience that left most buyers exhausted and burnt out. It’s left most agents beyond exhausted, many with PTSD and little desire to enjoy their careers.

Today the market is so much better for buyers –

 better deals, well at least not paying over ask

 better terms, can actually have an inspection

 and way better shopping experience. You can actually negotiate. There is enough inventory to pick from.

What lender has the best deal? We can do something about the rates:

 Buydowns

 ARM’s

 Assumable VA, FHA, and USDA Loans

 n/a for a cash buyer
