Pinehurst/Southern Pines Area MLS Statistics for 1 Jan – 20 July 2010:

Mortgate Rates at all time lows!  See the latest rates from Wells Fargo

Moore County, NC.  After a frenzy to get our buyers under contract before April 30, 2010 and closed before June 30, 2010, the market took a rest.  “Buyers sat on the fence immediately following the end of the tax credits”, said Kay Beran, president of Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders.  “We did all we could to get the first-time home buyers and the repeat buyers under contract.” 

Market statistics showed an improvement with these incentives but not what we would have thought.  We still feel that we have good news to move our market!  Now the market will be encouraged and incented by historically low mortgage rates coupled by some excellent price reductions in all classes of property.  “The government provided some incentives and now the sellers and the banks are doing the same although these will have a more lasting impact”, stated Beran. 

How do the numbers stack up against 2009?  The numbers speak for themselves – steady and similar to a year ago.  Buyers should be prepared to jump into the market with both feet for some great buys.  Check out the Second Quarter Market report for more details.

“To help our sellers, we have re-visited a price strategy that worked very well in the mid-90′s”, said Kay Beran, president of Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders in Pinehurst, NC.  “We are searching for ways to set our listings apart from the inventory that is out there and PVRM is a great way to separate our listings from the rest. ” Beran explained.

“Not to mention the fact that it works”!  Beran stated. We have recently listed and sold two properties within weeks of applying the creative pricing which asks the sellers to place their listings in a range instead of the fixed price that is the norm.  Value range pricing is designed to draw more showings, attract more offers, open negotiations and get the property sold for the maximum sale price possible.

Our first property was a townhome that was listed as – Seller will entertain offers between $139,900 and $149,876. This property sold for $140, 000 after being converted about 3 weeks into PVRM.  The second property was a single family home listed as – Seller will entertain offers between $159,900 – $179,876. This property sold for $167,500 after only a couple weeks on the market.  We are listing residential properties, land and commercial and investments properties with this strategy.

With the success of these sales, we look forward to more sellers working with us to market their properties with Prudential Value Range Marketing.  Getting the property to the market is the easy thing…getting is sold is another. Check out more information about this innovative process.
