In Gainesville, Florida we are wondering about our wonderful weather. It has been so nice here, so sunny, so pretty, so comfortable, it's a contrast to much of the rest of the country. This year parts of the U.S. have been subjected to numerous huge tornadoes. We in Florida sympathize and know how it feels to be hit by the weather. We have had more than a few hurricanes and tornadoes over the years. BUT, THANKFULLY, Gainesville and vicinity hasn't had significant damage from a hurricane in over 100 years. The hurricanes have missed us each time and the tornadoes have been in other parts of Florida. Weatherwise this has been a great place to live. We know there is always the possibility of the weather pattern changing so we enjoy it for now and so should you.
We get a change of season in the fall (autumn) and the leaves change color and fall from the deciduous trees. We get some cold weather in the winter - refreshing. We get the spring flowers. We also get a long hot summer. Are we lucky? It could have something to do with being on the line between the temperate zone and the sub-tropical zone. The strong continental frontal systems weaken as they approach here. The clash of cold and warm air is not as bad because the temperature difference on both sides of the front is not as great. Of course, there's a down side to even good weather. Gainesville's "Urban Forest" has had to adapt to periods of low rainfall, but it is still a beautiful "Tree City USA." However, at least for now, despite a rain deficiency, we have an ample supply of clean pure water in the underground aquifer. We also have an ample supply of nice home and condos in all price ranges to choose from. Come on BUYERS, enjoy the great weather, low prices, and low interest rates. Look at the homes and condos available at my MLS at www.GainesvilleFloridaHomes.com and www.EyemarkRealty.com.

That is a question I have been asked many times this year: Why are homes not selling? Is it because there are not many serious buyers? Is it because homes are over priced? Is it because financing has dried up?
My answer at this particular time is YES! Its all three reasons. However I believe the main reason has to do with FINANCING.
There are fewer buyers than in previous years, but there still are enough serious buyers to fuel a good residential market. Its true that many homes are over priced, but there are enough homes reasonably priced to maintain a good market.
So, with enough buyers and enough good prices, why aren't homes selling? The lenders (banks, credit unions, and similar institutions) have gone from one extreme to another. For several years you could get a loan of any type just by walking in the door and asking. Today you have to prove to the lender that you don't really need the loan in order to get it.
Excellent credit is not enough. More than sufficient money in the bank or cash on hand is not enough. Good income is not enough. In fact all three seems to be not good enough. The banks now want all of the paperwork, tax returns, W-2's, 1099's, ID's, referrences, reports, and much more, that they waived from 2003 to 2007. They realized that they had empty shelves to fill, empty filing cabinets to fill.
Down payment, closing cost, and reserve money has to be proven to be seasoned or come from a close relative. No more saying I kept it home in a paper bag in the linen closet.
First time home buyers have to prove they paid rent for 2 or 3 years. Living with parents or aunts and uncles is not good enough.
Part of the problem is that many banks just don't want to lend now. They are holding onto every dollar to build up reserves to balance the massive writeoffs from their real or perceived mortgage losses. Subprime adventures have tainted the entire mortgage spectrum from the bottom to the top of the risk table. The more difficult they make it to borrow, the more money they can keep for reserves. But reserves don't earn interest or fees so by not lending they are really shooting themselves in the foot.
One day it will even out and probably return to the traditional 28-36 requirements. In the meantime, until the pendulum swings back to the middle, many good risk buyers won't be able to buy. I have many serious buyers who have excellent credit and money in the bank who have been turned down. They will eventually buy a home, just not now.

As a seller in a slow market, you should use every tool at your disposal to induce buyers to look at and choose your home. Buyers can be especially influenced by money that is handled separately from the asking price.
For example, the price of your home might be acceptable to a buyer, but the buyer doesn't have enough cash on hand for the down payment that a lender requires. You can help with the down payment in the form of cash at closing.
Another way you can help someone purchase your home is to lower their monthly mortgage payment. By paying points on the buyer's mortgage you lower their interest rate which lowers the payment amount. Each point equals one percent of the total loan amount and can make just enough of a difference to get a buyer qualified.
Many buyers are afraid of unexpected expenses that occur soon after moving in. To mitigate their fear you can pay for a Home Owners Warranty (HOW) that provides 12 or 13 months of coverage for appliances, plumbing, air conditioning and heating, and electrical fixtures.
A buyer might be attracted by your offer to pay for 12 months of lawn maintenance, pool service, or Homeowner or Condominium Association (HOA) dues. You could also offer to pay for all or part of the current or next years property taxes or insurance costs.
The buyer who is short on cash could be induced to pay full or near full price for your home if you paid all or part of their closing costs. They include attorney's or title company fees, recording fees, mortgage title insurance, and other fees tied to the financing and closing of the transaction. Closing costs vary widely and can be between 2% and 7% of the amount financed or the total sale price. In FHA and VA loans the seller is required to pay certain costs anyway.
If you are downsizing or moving a long distance and don't want to take all of your furniture you can offer it to a buyer. Sometimes that is exactly what it takes to make a deal.
Summarizing, it isn't only the asking price that influences buyer's home choices. You can make your home more attractive and competitive with one or a combination of incentives.

Do you want to SELL your home (or land or other type of property) OR do you just want to LIST? If you don't really have to sell now, perhaps you shouldn't be in this type of market.
Buyers are reluctant to commit themselves because they think prices will go lower. Financing has tightened and standards are higher disqualifying marginal buyers. There is a glut of homes for sale. The market is flooded with homes in many areas. Foreclosures are increasing which drives prices down because sellers and lenders HAVE TO SELL quickly.
Overpriced listings have to compete with much lower asking prices on similar properties. How can you attract potential buyers if there are numerous comparable homes for sale with considerably lower asking prices? You won't even get offers. Very few buyers will even look at yours and if they look they will go back to the other one with the much lower price and LOWBALL that one. You won't even get the opportunity to get the lowball offer and an opportunity to negotiate. Yes, that's what's happening now. You need a low asking price to get a lowball offer.
So, if you just want to list, your home will just take up space in your broker's inventory, in the MLS, and the internet. If you want to SELL, put a fair asking price on your home, give some incentives to buyers, and be prepared to go even lower when negotiating an offer. Be aggressively motivated, be realistic, and your home WILL SELL.
