Does your sphere of influence think that home ownership is a good investment and  how do their feelings match up with the rest of America?

Today 65% of Americans believe home ownership is a good investment up from just 55.7% in 2014 - but that may or may not be true in your own market.

To engage your social media audience and have some fun why not ask them the same question with a quick and easy poll on Facebook or Instagram. You can then follow up with ideas on how to become a homeowner or even how to buy rental properties. 

Here is an example of a simple post my company did last week:

Another interesting trend is that more Americans are moving back to the suburbs especially young millennials. If you serve a smaller suburban area (or really any area) try using a Love Letter to Your Market.

Are homes more or less affordable than they were a year ago? 

According to the National Association of REALTORS homes are significantly more affordable today than they were a year ago on a national basis. Housing affordability increased from a year ago in May, moving the index up 5.6% from 142.4 to 150.4.  This even while the median sales price for a single family home sold in May in the US was $280,200, up 4.6% from a year ago. 

The reason homes are more affordable? Nationally, mortgage rates were down 60 basis points from one year ago (one percentage point equals 100 basis points).  Another piece of good news payments as a percentage of income went down to 16.6% this May and 17.6% from a year ago.

Does language matter in sales? Yes it does! According to communication expert Ryan Avery what you say and how you say it is a reflection of your brand, your confidence level, and your ability to influence people and situations in a positive way. 

For instance when we respond with the words "yeah or sure" to a question or a concern it may not convey clearly to the person asking the question or raising an issue that you truly care about the outcome, that you are committed to solution, or that you even know how to address the situation. Instead expert communicators use more direct and affirmative responses like - "Yes, Absolutely, 100%, or of course."

Watch as Jim explains why this concept is so important during this quick video coaching segment.

According to a recent study by Trulia.com - "Among the 100 largest U.S. metros, conditions in 50 are now shifting in favor of buyers, a ten-fold increase from just five metros a year ago. They determined this shift by examining an average of three buyer/seller balance-of-power indicators and analyzing how they’ve changed in the last year (from January 2018 to January 2019): the share of listings with at least one price cut, the monthly median days on market, and the sales-to-list price ratio (how a home’s final selling price compares to its list price). All three have shifted in favor of buyers.

This shift also shows up in other common housing metrics. Homes sitting on the market longer, for example, can also help push up monthly measures of inventory because home shoppers can count on listings remaining active for longer, giving them more options at any given time.

The shift in favor of buyers is also happening where home values have risen the most over the past six...
