Seven Signs Brooklyn Real Estate and Real Estate Nationwide are Improving

Friday, March 9th, 2012

Recently released figures indicate real estate nationwide and Brooklyn real estate are continuing to steadily improve. Here are seven signs that demonstrate the upturn:

Housing affordability has risen dramatically. This is due to a combination of reduced real estate prices and record-low mortgage rates.

  1. Housing starts are increasing, driven mostly by multifamily starts.
  2. Existing home sales increased in January. That means we’ve now had three months of gains out of the past four months.
  3. Total housing inventory fell to a 6.1 month supply at the end of January. This means that on average it now takes just over 6 months to sell a home, which is an improvement. According to Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, “The broad inventory condition can be described as moving into a rough balance, not favoring buyers or sellers.”
  4. There are plenty of home buyers and investors competing for foreclosure sales in almost all markets.
  5. Purchases of homes are on the rise by all types of buyers, from seasoned investors to first-time home buyers.
  6. Most economists agree that the market is improving. Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist says, “Our outlook anticipates gradual, but steady, improvement in the economy and the housing market, supported by low interest rates and brightening job market prospects.”

This is excellent news for the spring and summer Brooklyn real estate season that’s just around the corner. If you’ve been considering buying or selling a home, now’s the time to start that process so you’re ready for the hottest season we’ve seen in years.

Selling Brooklyn Real Estate: 5 Tips to Pick a Powerful Listing Agent

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011


Here are five tips to help you identify the best Brooklyn real estate agent to get your home sold as fast as possible and for the most money.

  1. Hire a full-time Brooklyn real estate agent.  Part-time agents typically have less experience and fewer sold properties under their belts than full-time agents.  Because part-time agents usually have another job, they don’t have as much time to take care of your needs and market and show your home to potential buyers.  Full-time agents have bigger networks they can enlist to help find a buyer for your home.
  2. Find a skilled negotiator. A seasoned Brooklyn real estate agent understands the psychological nature of selling a home.  They advise you during the contract negotiations to ensure you get the best deal while alleviating your stress.
  3. 3. Pick an aggressive marketer.  Without a well-implemented, far-reaching marketing program, your house will sit on the market these days.  You want an agent who promotes your home both online and offline, in order to reach the greatest number of potential buyers.  Simply having your home listed on Realtor.com is no longer enough of an online presence.  You want your home showcased on multiple websites with a lot of professional photos and, ideally, a video tour.
  4. Choose an agent who knows your Brooklyn neighborhood.  Each neighborhood has different pros and cons which must be promoted or overcome by the agent.  An effective real estate agent knows how to price your Brooklyn property because they know the local competition, which homes that have closed recently are similar to yours and how much they’ve sold for.
  5. Ask for home staging services.  Home staging is no longer a “nice to have;” it’s now a “must have,” if you want to sell your home for the most money in the least amount of time.  Many agents are now professional stagers or have a home stager on their teams.

Choosing a powerful listing agent is your first step toward a successful home sale.

If you’d like to work with an agent who is a skilled negotiator, an aggressive marketer, provides home staging services and works full time, Give me a call Charles D’Alessandro Your Brooklyn Realtor® with Fillmore Real Estate at 718/253-9600 ext 206 or email me at [email protected].
