Words Matter ‼️

Here are the top three way I changed my wording to help grow my Real Estate Business!

1. Storytelling - show don’t tell couldn’t be more important to making your network feel like they can share in the success story.
2. Stop just saying ‘thank you’- gratitude is the most important thing so make it personal and make it meaningful.
3. Be REAL in the moment- connect with your people. Share what’s actually going on, the good, bad and of course the ugly! Authenticity is key!

the cost of BAD MARKETING.

Are you paying for List Reports, generic company marketing, or using a broad digital media company to create on your behalf? While the ease of hands free marketing seems like a good idea- the cost of content that isn’t connecting or even pushing away your core clientele could have an unintended effect on your business and furthermore; your pipeline. This is the cost of bad marketing.

Here’s another secret: views DONT equal Closed homes.

The strategy that we’ve created at Lending Hands Media understands the way Real Estate professionals interact in their community and online, is much different than your normal B2B strategy. There’s a bridge between your Social Media marketing and closed transactions at the end of each month and we can show you how to get there.

With many customizable plans for all Real Estate Professionals, we’re ready to take on the market and your business to elevate you to the next level!

Puget Sound Weekly Market Update 7.22.22

Puget Sound Real Estate: A New Day is Upon Us
On June 10th the Consumer Price Index was released showing 8.6% year over year headline inflation. This was a new 40 year high, and .3% higher than expectations. The higher than expected inflation report caused mortgage interest rates to increase about .7% almost overnight. But then on June 15th (five days later) Jerome Powell and the Fed threw their “soft landing” approach out the window – No more Mr. Nice Guy… JP and the Fed are taking the gloves off and rededicating themselves to getting inflation under control at all costs. Since announcing their updated vigor in fighting inflation, the stock markets have risen from their multi-year lows, and mortgage interest rates have declined about .4%.

The Markets love this new gameplan from the Fed. I love this new gameplan from the Fed!

But just how much do the markets love this new Fed approach? So much so that when inflation was reported at 9.1% on July 13th, the markets barely flinched. The July report was .5% higher than the previous current-day record for inflation, and it was .2% higher than the expected reading; but nothing. Mortgage interest rates were up for a couple hours in the morning, but by the end of the day – No change. Reason being: The markets are starting to look past inflation knowing that the Fed is on it. No more wondering about how much worse it could get – we’re good. The Fed is going to squash it like a bug. The higher the inflation, the harder the Fed punches. Now, inflation might get worse in the short run, but again, that just means the Fed is going to get even more aggressive, so the markets are content in the face of high inflation FINALLY feeling like whatever it ends up being will be short lived because those inflation numbers are SQUARELY in the Fed’s crosshairs.

Additionally, and on a slightly different track, the 2 Year Treasury is trading significantly higher than the 10 Year Treasury (2.98 vs 2.79 as of this writing). Why is this important? Because over the past 50 years, whenever that happens (the 2 Year trading higher than the 10 Year) a Recession follows. Sounds dire, but don’t worry. We’re already in it. Look outside, this is what a Recession looks like – not a Great Recession, and not a COVID Recession, just a regular ole Recession. The thing is, our current Recession isn’t official yet, but after a Q1 final GDP reading of -1.6%; and an estimated Q2 decline of another -1.6% from the Atlanta Fed, we are in recession territory (the official GDP report for Q2 comes out next Thursday the 28th. Once that’s out, THEN it’s official). The funny thing about Recessions is that the masses fear an impending Recession while already being in one! Once the Recession is finally official next week, people will look around and go “This is it? This is what I was worried about? This aint that bad…” and things start to turn around. It’s why the stock market is already rebounding.


Summary
The Puget Sound Housing market died before it even got going this year due to low inventory in Q1, then high interest rates and Recession fears in Q2. Case ‘n Point, check out this data for year over year transactions in King County:
· January: 25.58% fewer transactions YoY
· February: 21.91% fewer transactions YoY
· March: 4.63% fewer transactions YoY
· April: 10.23% fewer transactions YoY
· May: 11.01% fewer transactions YoY
· June: 22.56% fewer transactions YoY

Except for March, we haven’t even been within 10% of last year’s transaction count, and we’re currently over 20% off last year’s transaction count! Falling transactions in the midst of increasing inventory has shifted leverage over to the buyer, but this leverage won’t last for long. As the markets rebound and mortgage interest rates begin falling, buyers will come back to the market, begin competing with each other again, and leverage will move back to the seller.

Now, we may have a couple months before “The Herd” shifts gears back into buying mode, and it may feel uncomfortable to break from the herd and buy before that happens, but this window of opportunity won’t be open for long as interest rates continue to decline and the stock market continues to rise amidst the Fed taking knock out punches at inflation.

Thus, a new day is upon us, and the early risers are going to be the ones getting a head-start on everybody else.

Buy now, refi later, and get ahead of the herd. The interest rate expense for today’s buyer will not be more than the increase in housing price a buyer will have to pay as soon as the herd jumps back into the market.

Alrighty! That’s all, have the best weekend ☀️
