I hope you're enjoying these emails I've been writing for you! If you're a Vyral Marketing real estate client, and if for some reason you can't get your 2 educational videos a month in, we can send plain text emails out (which sometimes get a better response, but NOT a long term replacement for your videos) so we touch your database consistently.
Here's a powerful email we wrote and suggest you send to your entire customer and prospect database in April if you cannot get your timely, locally specific video updates in. The email is designed to work in all markets, and that's why your customization, over the long term, will always be more effective.
Be sure to fill in the fields to put in your area, phone number etc. Remember, no graphics in these emails! The more personal the better.
SUBJECT: April 2014 real estate market update
Friends,
A quick real estate market update for you this April 2014…
NAR (National Association of Realtors) just came out with the 2013 4th quarter housing report so you can better understand what’s happening in the national real estate market.
I posted a very nice infographic for you on my (area) real estate blog that simplifies this information.
(link to your blog here with this posted infographic – cite your source)
All of these facts can be found on NAR’s website. Here’s the data:
http://www.realtor.org/topics/metropolitan-median-area-prices-and-affordability/data
As of January 2014, we’re seeing home sales remarkably different by region:
West is down 8.1% (yikes!)
Midwest is up 2.0%
South is up 3.6%
Northeast is up 7.1% (wow!)
We’re simply seeing a lack of homes to sell in the west.
The good news is more of these home sales are healthy sellers as non-distressed home sales are up from 77% last year to 85% this year.
In other words there are less foreclosures and short sales.
Even better, if you own a home over $250,000 sales are trending up very aggressively. It’s only the homes valued under $100,000 that are slowing down.
We’re also seeing more affordability in the first time home buyer price range since the investment firms who were buying these homes up after 2008 have slowed their purchases.
So our national real estate market, as a whole, is healthy.
Give me a quick call at (phone) and I’ll share the specifics on what’s happening in your (area) neighborhood because that's what matters when it comes to your final sales price.
Plus, there have been considerable changes - especially in our local (area) market - since these national reports were published 3 months ago.
When I can be of service helping you buy or sell a home, email me back or just give me a call at (phone).
Keeping you updated...
