Welcome to May! Today we have included all of the need to know market statistics for April. Be sure to download them and share them today securing your position as the market expert. It is important to note that single family home sales continue to be slow, down 21% when comparing April to April. So with 28% of sales for the year already close who will thrive in this tight market? The danger for many is that during the abundant market of the last few years they became “order takers”…simply accepting the business that came their way never really having to hunt for their next sale. With the real possibility of our market seeing 2000 fewer transactions this year, “order taking” is no longer a successful strategy. The industry experts who are well equipped to “hunt” for business will thrive while the "order takers” fade away. Wondering where to start hunting? Try starting with your existing contacts…over the last 10 years agents have only capture 23% of the business from the people they already know. That leaves a lot of room for improvement. If I was in you sphere, when was the last time I heard from you? Keep elevating our industry.
