Presentation Transcript

  1. Perfecting Your Listing Presentation

  2. Let’s Get Started • Success Stories • Sales Activity Updates/Questions • Success Board • Call Session Results • Announcements/Updates • Today’s Agenda

  3. Our Objectives for Today • Discuss the purpose and benefits of the Enhanced PTA. • Learn how to apply the 4 elements that measure pricing trends • Review dialogue to use when presenting the PTA to sellers. • Reinforce flow and content of the listing presentation with a live demonstration. • Practice presenting the listing presentation with peers. • Provide and receive feedback from peers.

  4. Enhanced Price Trend Analysis (PTA)

  5. Why use the Price Trend Analysis? • Clearly summarizes what’s happening in the local market – including a forecast of where the market is going. • OLR sheets of actives, pendings, solds, etc. are back-up material, rather than the focus of the conversation.

  6. Why is it important to differentiate yourself? Differentiating yourself allows you to: • Demonstrate your value • Prevent or defuse objections to price • Reinforce you are worth the full commission

  7. Factor the Market Trend into Pricing Seeking the True Market Value Statistics, Trends & Forecasts

  8. True Market Value True market value = the price paid by a ready, willing and able buyer not forced to buy, to a ready, willing and able seller not forced to sell, in an arms length transaction, after sufficient exposure to the market.

  9. Elements of the Real Estate Trend • Absorption Rate • Variation (Appreciation/Depreciation) • Sales Price to Listing Price Ratio • “Temperature” of the Market

  10. 1. Absorption Rate SUPPLY TOTAL ACTIVES ABSORPTION RATE = UNDER CONTRACT PAST 30 DAYS DEMAND

  11. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Normal Market Absorption in Months 2. Market Appreciation/Depreciation High Supply/Low Demand Low Supply/High Demand Normal Weichert has been studying market conditions for more than 3 decades and has found a direct correlation between market absorption and property values. As absorption rates increase beyond a normal market level of 5-6 months, property values depreciate annually. Note: This Market Scale is valid only for absorption rates between 1 and 12 months.

  12. The Caveat Note: Because absorption rates vary throughout the year, look at average absorption rates or trends over the last six months.

  13. 3. Sold Price/List Price Ratio • Sale Price/List Price = SP%LP Ratio • Appears in most OLR Listings • Used to determine estimated Sale Price of UC Listings

  14. 4. “Temperature” of the Market What would give you more of an indication of the “temperature” of the market . . . . ? When a listing Closed? OR When a listing went Under Contract?

  15. Present the Big Picture to Detail • From the Buyer’s Perspective… • Who is your competition? • Local Market Statistics • Absorption Rate • Days on Market • Competitive Comparables

  16. Selecting Comps • Selecting comps for use in the preparation of a PTA requires knowledge, experience and practice • Develop your knowledge and experience by: • Becoming a Neighborhood Specialist • Staying on top of your market inventory • Making an effort to see the properties in your market area

  17. Selecting Comps, continued • Facts to consider when determining comparable properties: • Location • Size (SQ/FT) • Number of beds • Number of baths • Outdoor Space • Amenities • Monthly’s

  18. Selecting Comps, continued • Other considerations: • Age and Condition • Improvements • Desirability • Common Areas • “Walkability”

  19. The PTA and Prospective Sellers • The PTA clearly illustrates the market trend. • It helps the seller price the home correctly. • The PTA reinforces your Weichert selling strategy.

  20. Pricing Discussion • Share the big picture • Review the boxes across the Price Trend Analysis • Drill down on the facts • Ask the seller for a price range for their property • Agree on price and close for the listing

  21. Price to the Future Waiting doesn’t work in seller’s favor. Overpricing doesn’t work in seller’s favor. Price today for the price of tomorrow. Be the more attractive price on the market. Induce competing offers. Good properties, attractively priced still sell over the asking price. Sell within 30 days for more than you could expect in 120 days. Save 3 to 4 month of mortgage payments. PRICE TO MEET THE MARKET INSTEAD OF CHASING THE MARKET!

  22. Sample Dialogue: Sharing the PTA with Prospective Sellers “I’d like to talk to you now about our approach for pricing properties. We not only look at comparable residences in the local marketplace, we research trends from 12 months ago, 6 months ago, 3 months ago and what’s under contract.” OR “Before we look at the boxes across the page, let me direct you to, what I consider, is the executive summary of what’s happening in this market, the Current Inventory Analysis Snapshot.”
