Realty Executives of Flagstaff
Happy autumn. Let’s hope the coming season treats us all well!

Speaking of seasons, you may have noticed that in most cases the real estate market seems to have seasons. Traditionally, it’s slower in some months and busier in others. In fact, that might lead you to try to “time” the market and sell when it’s hot. But, be careful. Like the weather, the real estate market can be unpredictable. Yes, it is a hot market today and it may or should be active next spring – but, then again, it could be slow. There’s no way to know for sure. |

In fact, the best criteria for deciding whether or not to sell your property isn’t as much the market as it is your personal wishes. If you want to move within the next couple of months, there are ways to make that happen. So, don’t let market conditions delay or derail your plans. Properties sell in all kinds of markets, and yours can too. When I go on my listing presentations, one question I get asked is how is it your home marketed on-line. |
Did you know, 93% of people visit websites when searching for homes.
(National Association of Realtors)
Visiting a website and looking for the most lucrative offers available seems to be the best option for nearly all age groups. The older millennials (29-38) seem to be leading the pack again with a staggering 98% of internet-relying home buyers. Real estate industry statistics confirm predictions that the members of the so-called Silent Generation push in a different direction. While 72% of them turn to website searches, about 86% of old-timers prefer to consult with a real estate agent. Nearly half of all buyers (46%) get informed through yard signs, and slightly more than that go to open house events.
So with that said, with some help from Realty Executives, I dug up many of the websites that your home may show up on, along with Social Media sites.
Because Realty Executives is Nation and World-Wide, and have resources beyond our local Northern Arizona Association of Realtors, the list of sites can be rather mind boggling.
If you have any thoughts of selling a home over the next 6 months, or even over the next year, even though at least here in Flagstaff we are headed into Winter, it is a good time.
The market has not changed and is continuing the trend of few homes on the market with more buyers on the market, making for a good time to sell.
