  1. The Realities Of Real Estate During theGreat Recession Julie Lang ABR, CRS The Julie Lang Team First Weber Group Realtors Racine, WI

  2. “Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.”-Franklin D. Roosevelt “Owning a home is a keystone of wealth.. both financial affluence and emotional security”. –Suze Orman “It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.” – Donald Trump “The best investment on Earth is earth.”-Louis Glickman, American business executive

  3. Perceptions of Real Estate & Homeownership • It’s the American Dream • It’s a good investment • It’s safe • It is a status symbol • It is an entitlement • It’s scary • It’s a risk • A Responsibility • It’s now OK to walk away • It’s a terrible investment • Too much work • What are your perceptions?

  4. Why Do People Want To Own A Home • Not throw money away • Build a nest egg • Decorate the way they want • Have a good place to raise a family • Fulfill a dream • Stability • Budget • Feel Grounded…Emotionally Satisfying

  5. Some Quick Definitions • DOM – (Days on Market) the period of time a property is listed for sale prior to being sold or removed from market. • LP/SP – (list price to sale price ratio) • Assessed Value – the value placed on a home by a government tax assessor in order to calculate a tax base.

  6. Some Quick Definitions • REO – (Real Estate Owned) property acquired by a lender, through foreclosure, which is held as inventory. • Short Sale - a sales transaction in which the seller's mortgage lender agrees to accept a payoff of less than the balance due on the loan.

  7. Some Quick Definitions • Sellers market – a very strong real estate market where sellers have the advantage because there are more buyers than properties for sale. Generally when there is less than a 5 month supply of inventory. • Balanced market - occurs when the relative supply of homes reach a 5 or 6 month level. • Buyer’s market – a real estate market in which the buyers have the advantage over the seller due to slow sales. Generally this is when there is more than a 7 month supply of inventory.

  8. Some Quick Definitions • Sales Concession – an instance where the seller will pay a cost that is normally paid by the buyer. Usually done to ensure the sale will go through. • Price appreciation – an increase in the value of real estate. The price may increase because of a number of factors, such as shortage of supply, improved economy, favorable political environment, tax incentives, or increased profitability. • Expired listings – when the time frame of a contract to list a property for sale passes and the home is no longer for sale. No purchase was made.

  9. Some Quick Definitions • Sale Price – the amount of money that is paid by a purchaser to a seller for property that is bought. • Absorption Rate - this is the measurement of current housing supply divided by the current rate of sales, expressed in months of supply. • Multiple offers - more than one offer to purchase a property, which usually occurs in a seller’s market. This is most likely a competitive bidding situation.
