Pinellas Homes For Sale Update: On The Market or In The Market?
Folks with Homes for Sale in Pinellas County Florida should ask themselves this critical question: Do I want to be on the market or in the market? Roughly 20% of Pinellas FL homes for sale are actually in the market while 80% of them are only on the market with yard signs flapping wastefully in the breeze. Gone are the Days where Pinellas Realtors used to fight over listings. In fact, we, and other top producing agents, currently turn down 2 out of 3 listing opportunities. Flapping signs aren’t fun 
and waste everyone’s time. Buyers certainly will not waste theirs.
On the upside, August brought a 26.4% increase in single family unit sales over August 2008, although prices dropped in the same period by 19.3%. As Ann Guiberson, President and CEO of the Pinellas Realtor organization said so brilliantly in the recent issue of Pro-View magazine for Realtors, ”this seems to be a sign of what’s good vs. what’s better than a sign of a reversal in the market”. We’re no where near out of the woods, in fact most experts agree that we are just at the beginning of the second foreclosure hill in this roller coaster ride. More on that soon.
Don’t dismay if you want to be in the market, homes are selling! Particularly with a stealth plan in place that includes pricing your home to win the war, sprucing it up to win the beauty pageant, and promoting it with a proven stealth marketing system to win the attention of buyers galore.
It’s a lot more than having a sign in the yard – although ours is kind of nice even at night, wouldn’t you agree? Call us at 727-366-0324 with questions.
