The 2020 Real Estate Market: What You Need to Know
While it’s most important to know what’s happening in your area, it’s also a good idea to have a general overview. In the most recent Secrets of Top Selling Agents webinar, Steve Harney shares what experts are saying about this year’s real estate market in “2020 Market Predictions for Real Estate.”

After being in the industry for over 25 years, Harney is a residential real estate expert who specializes in market trends. He started as an agent and then developed his own 500-agent real estate firm.

Currently, Harney works with producers to help them achieve success. He is often quoted in major news sources and is recognized as one of the most accurate market trends predictors today.

In his Secrets webinar, Harney shares information about home price appreciation, interest rates and inventory and demand. Find out everything you need to know so you can talk to your clients as an expert.

What does the market look like?
Harney opens the webinar by stating that the housing market is a solid foundation for the U.S. economy going into 2020. In addition to this, home sales are projected to increase substantially in the coming year. This can be seen in the recent report from Time which showed an increase in buyer traffic, increasing by 12.6 percent nationwide. If you’re in the West, you probably saw a good year, with activity jumping 23.1 percent.

When thinking about when to make your next push in the industry, Harney advises not to wait until spring when most of the competition will also be out. Instead, he recommends starting now, since buyers are already flooding the market.

What is influencing these changes?
According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates should remain low throughout 2020 and 2021, averaging around 3.8 percent. Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association and the National Association of REALTORS® all also believe rates will remain under 4 percent through 2020. This means the market won’t be facing any resistance like what was seen at the end of 2018 when rates increased. Harney refers to this as a “perfect buying environment.”

Because there will be a greater influx of buyers and higher demand for homes, CoreLogic predicts that home prices will rise at least 5 percent over the year. Similarly, home value is expected to continue to appreciate. This is due to an inventory shortage and a high demand from buyers. In fact, in 2019, housing inventory dropped overall by 12 percent, while homes available for less than $200,000 dropped by 18 percent. This poses a challenge, especially since millennials and Generation X buyers are flooding the market, looking for low-cost homes. Harney says the best way to avoid issues with this is by listing properties as soon as they become available, especially if they’re in the lower price range.

Will there be a recession?
A recession is defined as a temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity decrease. While a number of experts expect a recession during 2020, it’s important to keep in mind that a recession does not mean a housing crisis. In fact, a housing slowdown is one of the bottom five possible triggers of a recession.

During the webinar, a listener asked whether home sales would be affected by the 2020 election. Harney explained that, yes, there may be a slight decrease in home sales during that time. However, it’s not due to a lack of buyers. Instead, it’s because people are distracted by the election and put off buying. As a result of this, generally, home sales the following year are expected to significantly increase.

Helping First-Time Sellers Expect the Unexpected

There is quite a bit of emphasis on educating first-time buyers. If you tend to work with a lot of first-time buyers, then you may find yourself working with first-time sellers, too.

As first-time sellers, your clients may be unaware of some of the different situations and considerations they may encounter when trying to sell their home. Anything from open houses to responding to offers may be a completely new task for your clients. As their agent, you are there to help them understand what they should be doing to make the right decisions when it comes to selling their home.

Price Matters
In the beginning stages of preparing to sell their home, you may be eager to set a price for the home that may secure them a quick sale. While this is a great way to make a quick profit, you should be prepared to show them homes comparable to theirs in their market to share what their market value might actually be. This will help them balance their time on the market and sales price to get the best overall value for their home.

You Have to Stage the Home
Because this is their first experience selling a home, your clients may be unprepared for the work involved with getting it ready to be listed and put on the market. If the home is not ready to be listed, advise your clients that they may have to put a little bit of work into the home to get the best offers. Some tasks your clients might have to do may include adding a fresh coat of paint, updating their decor and switching out some fixtures or making repairs to the home.

Home Showings Are Necessary
While inviting potential buyers into the home for showings might not be the most convenient situation for sellers, it is the best way to create a potential sale. When your clients are preparing to put their home on the market, let them know that having open houses and showings are necessary, and that they should prepare themselves to be flexible when there are potential buyers who are interested in purchasing their home.

Promptly Respond to Offers
After a showing, your clients may begin receiving offers on their home. Some offers may be right where they would like the home to be sold at, and some may be under the listing price.

Regardless of the scenario, your clients should be ready to respond to offers with counteroffers, accepting offers or even rejecting an offer. By being quick to respond to offers, your clients will be able to speed up the process of selling their home without losing potential buyers.

Being there for your clients as they list their home and learn the ropes of selling their home for the first time can be a huge but rewarding task. With Homes.com’s Local Connect, you can be one of the local experts selling listings in your area.

Scheduling the Home Inspection: Why Time Is of the Essence

Your clients found their dream home, and they’re ready to make an offer—excellent job! When an offer is officially accepted, your client is under contract. This is the perfect time to schedule a home inspection.

What is a home inspection?
The home inspection plays a significant role in the home-buying process. A home inspection is a professional consulting service that determines the present condition of the home’s major systems based on a visual inspection of accessible features. The home inspection report should cover the current condition of the home’s roof, structure, exterior, electrical system, heating and air conditioning system, plumbing system, insulation, interior, mechanical and natural ventilation systems. This could be your client’s largest investment; therefore, they’ll want to learn as much as possible about their newly constructed or existing house. A home inspection may identify the need for repairs or even builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep the house in good shape. After the inspection, your client should know more about the house, which will allow them to make decisions with confidence.

Let’s look at the timeline.
After the offer is accepted, your client is under contract. Scheduling the home inspection as quickly as possible is key. Following this, there’s time for the “inspection obligation.” This is when your client should ask the seller to remediate any significant items that come from the inspection. Reviewing and digesting the inspection report should be taken care of in a timely manner, as getting repair estimate reports could take additional time. The inspection report may recommend further evaluation of a system by a professional tradesman, which will then need to be scheduled. This is an important time in your client’s life, so it’s best not to have anything rushed, which could cause added stress. This is why it’s critical to make sure the home inspection is scheduled as soon as possible.

What are my client’s options?
Give your clients recommendations for a home inspector. It’s best to know if your recommended home inspector is licensed and has errors and omissions insurance, which can protect the buyer if the inspector is negligent. Locate a sample inspection report so that your clients know what to expect from their home inspection.

Call home inspectors in the area and ask for availability (or schedule online). Remember, time is of the essence, so ask when your clients should expect to receive the report. Also, have your clients ask your recommended home inspector for qualifications. In other words, what makes the inspector suitable for the task? These initial questions can include:

Top 10 Things to Look for When You Are House Hunting



If you're thinking about buying a home, this list can help get your search off on the right foot. While the number of rooms, the condition of the kitchen, and the size of the yard are important, there are other things to think over before you make an offer. Consider these factors.
The Location

They say that the three most important things to think about when buying are home are location, location, location. You can live with almost any imperfection in a home if you love the neighborhood and your neighbors. You can change almost everything else. But, once bought, you cannot change your home's location. When you go house hunting, consider any potential home's proximity to your work, the charm of the neighborhood, how the home is situated on the lot, ease of access, noise from neighbors, traffic, and pets, as well as access to parks, shopping, schools, and public transportation.
The Site

Beyond location, look at the site of the home. If the home is on a hill, does it have a view, a walkout basement, or lots of stairs to climb? Do neighbors' windows look directly into the home? Is the yard suitable for kids, pets, gardening, or other uses? Is access to the property safe regarding driveway elevation or stairs to the front door?
The Neighborhood

Be sure the neighborhood, and not just the house, meets your expectations. They say that you should own the smallest home in the nicest neighborhood that you can afford. You'll have a great view! Drive around on weekdays and weekends, during the day and in the evening. Are homes in the neighborhood consistent in size and features? Do the neighbors keep the yards clean and tidy, or are there old cars and trash around? Is the neighborhood safe enough for people to walk, run, or bike, and are there children playing in the yards?
The Home's Curb Appeal

Your home should reflect your lifestyle. Do you live a laid-back life? Then you might not want a formal Victorian or Tudor-style home. Something simpler and more contemporary might be in order. Look at the exterior features. A brick home is easier to maintain, unless, of course, you live in an earthquake-prone area. Ask yourself whether the roof in good condition. Is the landscaping attractive and are the sidewalks leading to the home safe?
The Size and the Floor Plan

You may be thinking about buying your dream home. But is your dream home impractical? Do you need four bedrooms and four baths when you live alone? A large home can give you the extra space you've always wanted for a home office or crafts or art projects. But you'll pay higher heating bills and have higher taxes. It will take more furniture to fill it and money to decorate. Think about how the new home space will be used and whether it will fit your lifestyle now and in the future.
The Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Decide how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need, and only look at homes that meet your criteria. It would be a shame to fall in love with a cozy, charming cottage that isn't big enough. An extra bedroom is always a plus, as it can be used for a home office, craft studio, or guest room. If you think you'll be adding more room later, be sure to consult an architect who can advise you on space planning, lot usage, and city regulations.
The Kitchen

If the kitchen is the heart of your home, don't settle for a home with a kitchen that won't work. You can always remodel, but it's very costly. Can you replace cabinet faces and countertops? Will an inexpensive makeover be sufficient? Don't worry about appliances, as they can usually be easily replaced.
The Closets and Storage

Older homes tend to have little closets and not a lot of storage space. If you have lots of sports equipment, craft supplies, out-of-season clothes, and holiday decorations, be sure you know where all this will go in your new home. Newer homes tend to have big closets and lots of storage. You can always add storage space, but you might have to sacrifice living space in your rooms.
The Windows and Lighting

Do you love a bright sunny room or do you love privacy? Look at home with light and sunshine in mind. Look at the locations of electrical outlets and fixtures. Will they accommodate your lighting needs? Is there recessed lighting in the kitchen, cove lighting in the family room and a lovely chandelier in the dining room? If not, you can add them later, but it's nice to have it in place when you move in.
The Finishing Touches

Sometimes the simplest home looks spectacular thanks to the installed moldings, hardware, and fireplace. If these elements are important to you, look for them while house hunting or be ready to add them after you move in.

If you keep these specific elements of a home in mind, your house hunting will be more successful, and you'll likely end up with the home of your dreams.

Top 10 Ways For a Productive Week
1. Optimize your plans
GTD (Getting Things Done) is a method to help you prioritize your plans. Author David Allen states that it's possible to have a long to-do list and still have a productive week.
2. Focus on one thing at a time
So, I'm writing a blog post and I'm stuck trying to track down a source to a study.
3. Review your weekly progress
Choosing a few key plans for the week is not easy at first. What helps is reflection at the end of each week.
4. Communicate when problems come up
Not everything you plan gets done. Quite often there are external reasons. Things get stuck or delayed.
5. Learn to say "no"
Be picky. Because something can be done, it does not mean it must be done. Be mindful of your goals.
6. Plan your week on Friday afternoon or Monday morning
Reflection each Friday is important. Planning your next week on Friday evening before leaving work is even better.
7. Focus on the results, not the process
Looking at our to-do lists, we often write down not measurable results to be achieved but actions or processes. Consequently, quite often it is hard to say if the task has been achieved or not.
8. Share your plans with your team
In a team environment, always explain to others why you have chosen one goal over another and how your resources are divided. When your plans get accomplished, communicate the progress.
9. Write up your week based on your GTD priority items
People who have different responsibilities can divide their week into 5 days of different work areas. Then stick to them each week.
10. Don't overload others with too much information
You would not want others to disturb you and waste your time. Being interrupted, be it via e-mail or meetings, is an annoying waste of time in any team.

Why is having a dream important?
Now when the term ‘dream’ is used, some people think of a flight of fancy, while others see a beautiful and compelling future that they can attain. Which one did Dr Martin Luther King Jr. share with us in his famous speech? While to some, it may have been the former, too many of us (both then and now) it is the latter. While we are closer to that dream, we are not yet there. But we get closer and closer all the time.
For the purposes of this post, we will define a dream as a vision of a compelling future, which provides inspiration and motivation for the dreamer. The last two bits, inspiration and motivation, they are important. Without those, the dream will die when confronted by the realities involved in making it happen.
Great lengths of time, Herculean efforts, late nights, early mornings, massive efforts (which only gain you another failure, again and again), these are all part of the price you will pay, if you are to make your dream a reality. And that’s where the inspiration and motivation come it, they keep the fires burning when the world tries to pour cold water over you and your dream.
