April 2024 Market Update & Opportunities for Buyers and Sellers
I wanted to provide you with the latest market update for April 2024, along with some insights into the current opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Overall, the market is performing well, with interest rates remaining relatively high. This has resulted in many sellers choosing to hold onto their homes rather than list them, fearing they may miss out on low interest rates they are currently locked into. However, despite this, the market is showing signs of stability and normalization. Home appreciation over the past year has been around 4%, which is within a normal range. Sellers are typically receiving about 98% of their asking price, indicating a balanced market without the bidding wars seen in recent years. As interest rates are expected to decrease in the future, we anticipate a return to bidding wars and higher selling prices, particularly in desirable areas like Charleston where demand remains strong. Rents have also increased significantly, making homeownership more affordable in many cases, especially when interest rates are lower. Some other notable points include a decrease in days on market, as well as a decrease in inventory, making it more of a seller's market. Despite this, opportunities exist for both buyers and sellers alike. For sellers, we offer a guaranteed cash offer program, providing a hassle-free alternative to traditional listing methods. This can be particularly appealing for those looking to avoid the stress of open houses, repairs, and staging. For buyers, now is a great time to lock in a purchase price before interest rates decrease and prices rise. While current interest rates may be higher, refinancing options are available in the future as rates decrease and prices increase. We also have access to competitive interest rates in the 4% range, making homeownership even more attainable. If you have any questions or would like to explore your options further, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help you navigate the market and make informed decisions. Wishing you a wonderful day, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Unlock Your Potential: Learn Kenya Glenn's Visual Strategies for Real Estate Success
I am thrilled to share with you an exclusive video featuring Kenya Glenn, where she unveils her secrets to success at the Dave Friedman Team. Kenya's journey to 9 Sales in 90 Days is nothing short of inspiring; from juggling three jobs to becoming a full-time real estate agent, she has carved her path to success through dedication and innovation. Kenya was a realtor for 10 long months without a single closing or agency agreement to show for. In her first 4 months with DFT, she has been on fire. She's had 40 appointments, signed 16 clients, wrote 8 offers and has gotten 7 accepted. She's grown exponentially professionally, hardworking, growth minded, and exceptional team member. There are three things that have spurred her success. The first thing is professional consultation at the first meeting where the buyer agrees to compensate Kenya for her services in a Buyer Agency agreement. This has been a standard way of DFT's business practices for the last 10 years. The second is over 40 HOT appointments in just 4 months. And lastly, Kenya showed up as a hard working and coachable professional. It never would have happened without Kenya's work ethic and adaptability to try something new. In the video, Kenya shares her transformative story and reveals how she leverages the DFT Buyer Consultation presentations to elevate her client interactions at the first meeting. In her first week of joining DFT, she learned how to perform a Buyer Consultation. This consultation leads to signing 70% to Buyer Agency. In this, the buyer is agreeing to pay for Kenya's compensation! By incorporating personalized visual aids during appointments, Kenya has not only captured her clients' attention but also earned their trust and loyalty. The results speak for themselves - Kenya's approach has led to a remarkably high success rate with her clients. Their positive feedback and numerous successful closings stand as a testament to the effectiveness of Kenya's visual strategy. Whether you're a seasoned agent looking to refine your techniques or a newcomer eager to learn from the best, DFT's training is invaluable. Join us every Tuesday at our team meeting to train on this strategy. Now imagine being part of a team where you can learn directly from agents such as Kenya Glenn, absorb their strategies, and apply them to your own real estate endeavors. By joining our team, you'll have access to unparalleled mentorship, resources, and opportunities for growth. SET AN APPOINTMENT TO CHAT APPLY HERE
