The Eric Stewart Show: Radio Recap Segment 1
- Next month, Eric is celebrating the 16th anniversary of his radio show! He began the show in September of 2004.
- The first topic of the show answers the question: how do you handle a buyer looking to buy in a market where there’s very little inventory?
- In the current market, buyers are going up against other buyers in a very competitive market.
- With the competitive market, there’s a lot of subpar properties that are selling really well right now. People are being much more forgiving about the conditions of homes.
- This proves that timing trumps condition.
- We’ve been in a 5-year cyclical contraction and supply, which has been exacerbated by COVID-19.
- More listings are coming to the market but it’s still tight. Eric predicts that the market will continue to be very strong all the way into the fall.
- There has been more inventory in Rockville but competition is pretty fierce all-around.
- The overall demand cycle is very hot for many reasons; buyers and sellers need an agent now more than ever.
- In the world of technology, there’s an app called FairSplit that allows you to list assets that are to be divided among multiple people.
- It can be used in the cases of downsizing, divorces, or estates.
- You walk through the house, take pictures and put them into a folder, assign values to the items, and then share with the people you are going to be dividing these items among.
- The app also offers services to help you with appraisals, determining emotional value of an item, and mediating between family members.
