NATIONAL MARKET UPDATE

April saw sales of new homes surge to a 13-month high, up 4.1% from March and 11.8% ahead of last year. Inventories have recently made substantial gains, and the median price is down 8.2% from a year ago.

The Mortgage Bankers Association reports new-home purchase applications rose year-over-year for the third straight month. They note: “the broader housing market is leaning more on new construction to boost for-sale inventory.”

Meanwhile, contract signings on existing homes were flat in April, although three of the four major U.S. regions saw monthly gains. Only the Northeast’s numbers decreased, pulling down the national average.

A giant ship's engine broke down and no one could repair it, so they hired a Mechanical Engineer with over 30 years of experience.

He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom. After seeing everything, the engineer unloaded his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

He knocked something gently. Soon, the engine came to life again. The engine has been fixed!

A week later the engineer mentioned to the ship owner that the total cost of repairing the giant ship was $20,000.

"What?!" said the owner.

"You did almost nothing. Give us a detailed bill."

The answer is simple:

Tap with a hammer: $2

Know where to knock and how much to knock: $19,998

The importance of appreciating one's expertise and experience...because those are the results of struggles, experiments and even tears.

If I do a job in 30 minutes it's because I spent 20 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.

If you’re doing something correctly, don’t adjust it. Just keep doing more of it—it may be the secret to your success. And don’t try to be all things to all people. Know your value proposition and how it meets your customers' needs.

Colorado Quarter 2 Market Update:

In comparison to the red-hot housing boom seen just after the height of the pandemic, today’s market is said to be cooler – but what does that mean for consumers? While demand for homes across Colorado’s real estate markets remains very strong, rising inventory levels and interest rates have slowed the pace at which homes were sold through Q2 of 2022.

This shift in the market indicates that the rapid acceleration of prices is decreasing however, opportunities for consumers on either side of the closing table are still bountiful for those willing to follow sound advice from their real estate advisor. While the market still heavily favors sellers, the days of all homes selling in a single day for significantly over the asking price are behind us. Yet, as noted in a recent New York Times article, “your home may sit on the market for a few weeks and if priced well, sell for around asking price—which will be more than you would have gotten a year ago.” Buyers who stay in the market now have more power to make at-asking price offers without forgoing reasonable demands such as appraisals, inspections, and mortgage contingencies.

So, what does this all mean? Even with the recent changes to the marketplace, home prices continue to appreciate, motivating sellers to list their homes on the market and encouraging homebuyers to purchase properties to help shield their money from rising inflation. Colorado’s real estate markets are still thriving and are helping both buyers and sellers create the life they love this year.

Homes are selling 25% faster and for 15% MORE than this time last year!!

The cost of waiting, year over year will limit your opportunities. Even with interest rate hikes home prices will continue to appreciate as we still have more buyers (people moving to CO) than homes available to buy. This will continue.

Don’t wait to achieve the American dream of homeownership and financial stability. You must seize the day!

Let me help you learn what options you have so you can decide.

A host of studies confirm multitasking makes us more prone to errors. You think you’re multitasking, but you’re just juggling a bunch of tasks and not paying enough attention or taking enough time to complete each task properly.

BUSINESS TIP OF THE WEEK
Break up a large task into smaller steps. This puts goals—and your deadlines to reach them—just a day or two out. That kind of incremental progress makes it easier to stay on track until you reach your larger objective.
