Your Home May
Be Worth More Than You Think!

Dear Homeowner:

Today’s real estate market is very different than it was a year ago.
Prices have increased rapidly over the past 6-8 months as part of a steady
recovery we’re seeing take place across the nation in real estate. If you or
someone you know has a home in which they owed more on their mortgage than the
property was worth, that may no longer be the case. Or perhaps you’ve just been
waiting the market out for prices to increase. Well, that time has arrived.

I have a report which explains in detail why prices have gone up and
why your home might be worth more than you think! The report is entitled, “3
Reasons Your Home May Be Worth More Than You Think” and I believe you’ll be
surprised by…

Under the Cloud of an Unmanageable Mortgage?

Hi Family & Friends:

I wanted to let you know about something I’ve been dealing with.

You know I’m a real estate agent, but maybe I haven’t mentioned that I specialize in helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. These are people who owe more on their home than what it’s worth and don’t know what to
do. I’ve talked with a lot of these people lately, and it struck me that I never reached out to see if you knew of anyone in this situation. 

I would hate if you knew someone who could use my assistance but didn’t know that I could help.

Do you know of anyone who could use my services?

If so, please have them give me a call at 864-416-1676. I can help put them back on track to financial…

How Much Do You Think Your Home is Worth?

When I speak to homeowners who consult with me before listing their home for sale, I find the first thing they ask or want to know is, "What Is My Home Worth?"  Well, that is a simple question with a potentially complicated answer.  I will usually turn the question around and ask them, "What do YOU think Your Home is Worth?"  I do this because I want to understand where are they at mentally in the process of selling their home.  At this stage, most homeowners have not emotionally detached themselves from their home to look at it analytically (as a house) and, in many cases, will overvalue their home's worth. 

The most common answers I get back from a seller is:

• Price based on what the…

The age old motto of real estate is, "Location, Location, Location!"  At Delco Realty Group, we bring context and relevance to what is important to Buyers when they start looking for their next home.  For our Listing (Seller) clients, it is very important to understand this as well since we utilize the human element of buyer behavior to build a custom marketing plan to selling a home based on this motto.

Location to where you Work

Location to where you Play

Location to where your Children go to School

     - (this is the most important search criteria for buyers with children)

Location to where you Worship

There is other criteria buyers consider when purchasing a home, however these are the top four (4) pieces of criteria…

For the Month of February 2012, home sales in all South Carolina major markets were up.  Greater Greenville and Spartanburg areas were up 7.7% and 10.4% respectively compared to the same period last year (February 2011).  Pending sales are up 16.9% and inventory levels shrank 15.7%.  This trend should favor the seller a bit more as home prices rise (with increased demand) and inventory (supply) shrinks.  This is what we have been talking about in our earlier post on the Delco Realty Group Facebook FAN Page re: the "Days on Market" trending downward.
