It's hard to believe, but 2014 is coming to a close. Today, we want to answer a question we get from many folks this time of year: What happens toward the end of the year in real estate?

One thing we've noticed is a lot of business being done. This time of year, people typically make the assumption that no one is buying and selling real estate because of the holidays. However, when we run our daily market update to see what's been listed, what's going under contract, price reductions, and what's closed, we're noticing that people are still buying and selling homes in the Vero Beach area. Why is this, you might ask?

Well, many people realize now is a great time to sell because there is currently much less competition. Additionally, there are always people looking to buy all over the country. As more and more people start taking their homes off the market, thinking now is a bad time to sell, there are people putting their homes on the market to take advantage of these conditions.

Through the month of December, our team is taking very little time off. Our commitment to you, our clients, and people who are relocating to our area, has never been stronger than it is right now. Regardless of the time of year, we strive to deliver exceptional service so you can reach your real estate goals.

If there is anything we can do to assist you in real estate, give us a call or shoot us an email. We're always here to help you! Thanks again for visiting, and have a great day!

Is This Real Estate Myth Preventing You From Getting More for Your Home?

Even though we're still experiencing fabulous weather here in Florida, we are heading toward wintertime. This is the time of year when homeowners get skittish about selling; conventional wisdom has them thinking it's currently a bad time to sell a home. Today, we want to talk about why that couldn't be further from the truth.

The truth is, as we approach the holidays, we here at Vero Beach are at 15-year low of available inventory. That means it's a great time to put your home on the market. People who want to buy during this time are serious about doing so. While your friends are sitting around drinking eggnog and shopping, you could be showing your home.

With inventory as low as it is, you will have very few homeowners to compete with when you list your home. People think the holidays are a bad time to sell, but, when you think about it, there are only four days over the next month you don't want people walking through your home. You can schedule your home showing to fit your lifestyle, avoiding days like Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day.

The buyers who are looking now are often relocation buyers, who need to find a home by the end of the year, or who are trying to beat the spring rush to the market. Now is a great time to find an ideal buyer for your home. Additionally, buyers who are in a hurry are more likely to pay a little bit more for your home.

Give us a call today and we'll do a market analysis on your home. We can determine what you can realistically get for your home in today's market and discuss your options. We would love to help you take advantage of this market!

What Is the Kelly Fischer Team Thankful For?

Thanks for coming back to my video blog! We're just a few days away from Thanksgiving, and it's the time of year I like to look back at all the great things that have happened to me and my team.

I'm so grateful to be working at a great company, where everyone works together to achieve a common goal. Everyone has a single purpose: to serve the people who live in our wonderful community. It is such a great place to live, and we are so fortunate and blessed to be here.

We're also thankful that the real estate market recovery is starting to take hold. It's such a great time to be doing anything in the market, as we're seeing a balanced market. It's great to be a seller - homes are selling quickly and for great prices. It's also a good time to be a buyer, as prices are attractive and interest rates are incredibly low.

There's no better time to build your real estate wealth and we would love to help you do it. We can point you in the direction of the great deals or help you get the most value for your home if you're selling.

We are grateful for how the people of our community have supported our team. We thank you for putting your trust in us and helping us to thrive here on the Treasure Coast. With over 900 real estate agents in Indian County alone, it means the world to us that you selected our team to handle your real estate needs.

I've been doing this for 21 years, and it never gets boring or old because of the fantastic people we have had the opportunity to work with. Thanks, and have a happy Thanksgiving! We look forward to serving you, your family, or your friends in the near future.

4 Reasons why now Is a Great Time to Think About Selling

We're excited about the state of the current market for many reasons, but today we want to talk about the many opportunities available to sellers. Most people who currently have their homes for sale are thinking about taking their home off the market for the next few months. Today, we want to share 4 reasons why this is not a good idea:

Low inventory: Here in the Treasure Coast and Vero Beach, we're currently seeing the lowest level of homes for sale we've seen in quite a while. At our current pace, we'll sell homes for sale in less than 6 months - which is scary for agents, but great for sellers. Now is a great time to get top dollar for your home.
Serious buyers: Who's buying homes now while everyone else is getting ready for Thanksgiving, out shopping for Christmas, or traveling? There will be fewer buyers coming through your home during this time of year, no doubt, but the buyers who do come through will be serious and prepared. They're the kind of buyers who have either sold their home and need a new one, or are relocating for work and need to find a new home before the new year.
Great agents: Only the most successful, busiest agents are working during this time of year. The majority of agents have quit until the new year. The ones who remain are the best negotiators, the ones who will make your real estate experience as smooth as possible. These are the agents you want to work with anyway, and they're available to serve you.
Get ahead when buying your next home: If you're buying another home after selling your current one, you will have a leg up when the new year rolls around. When inventory skyrockets after January 1st, your home will already be sold and you will be ready to purchase your next one. With no contingencies to worry about, you'll be in a great position to get a great deal on your next home.

In short, don't worry about the holidays! We'll walk you through the selling process and help you take advantage of today's hot market. If you have any questions about your options, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!

Why You Shouldn't Rush Your Home to Market

It's quite common for homeowners to put their home on the market prematurely. The Kelly Fischer Team has embraced the idea of delaying putting homes on the market until they are absolutely ready to sell. Sometimes sellers are anxious to get their home on the market, but it's not always wise to list it hastily.

Our goal is to really help sellers maximize their potential sales price and sometimes it may take weeks to make that happen. We recommend hiring a professional painter to neutralize the home and we work with a great one that we would be happy to put you in contact with. We've seen homes sit on the market for over 6 months simply because their walls were painted funky colors. You may love it, but buyers will be more interested in neutral colors.

We love helping sellers identify any obstacles that may cause a home to sit on the market for a long time. Fixing those problems before listing your home will be incredibly beneficial to your bottom line; investing a little money now will pay off big time down the road.

We would love to share some of our ideas of what will make your home more marketable. Give us a call or shoot us an email, so we can sit down and take a look at what we can do to help you maximize your home sale. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

The Treasure Coast Area Market Is Still Hot!

Today, we address an encouraging trend we've seen this September - homes are selling like crazy!

This September was the busiest on record. Whether it's the low interest rates, the lack of inventory, or the fabulous weather we've had, we can't be sure. What we do know is the number of homes we've been selling, and the prices people are getting for them, is exciting news for our area.

There are many buyers still looking for homes, which is uncommon for this time of year. It has been challenging to find people the home they're looking for, as we don't have enough properties to sell! Most of the homes we list are getting sold in under 60 days - which means there is a lot of competition out there among ready and willing buyers. We've had to get creative to help our buyers find a home, as many of them are relocating from outside our community.

If you have thought of selling your home, now might be the time to get it on the market. This is an ideal time to maximize your sale price and get your home sold quickly. If you're ready to make your move, give us a call soon! We can help you exceed your real estate goals in this fantastic market!

What are you missing out on working with a single agent?

Many people are unaware of the advantages of working with a real estate team instead of a single agent. We've compiled a list to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness a full team has to offer, whether you're buying or selling a home.

A single agent has between 40 and 70 hours a week they can give you. Working with our team multiplies the available time by 5 - we can give you over 300 hours a week to help you find or sell your home! We work together to promote your interests and help you meet your goals, for no additional charge.

Teams bring together individuals with different experiences, ideas, and spheres of influence to form a unit. This diversity results in unmatched expertise and specialization - and you get the benefits.

Systems and processes are in place and have been time-tested.

Teams have flexibility of schedule. We live in a fast-pace, busy world where it can be difficult to make time to see homes. Our team can find a time that works best for you and get you into a house immediately.

A team has the resources necessary to obtain state-of-the-art technology for buyers and sellers. If you want to market your home effectively, so you can get top dollar in a reasonable amount of time, this technology is invaluable. Because teams do more business, they have the means to invest in more technology on your behalf.

As you can see, there are many advantages to working with a team. We always have somebody available to address your needs and are always working to improve our ability to serve you. To learn more about us and how we operate, give us a call or shoot us an email. We would love to hear from you!

How we helped Jenny sell her home by always keeping her updated

"Kelly got my house sold and all situated so I didn’t actually have to come back to Florida, which I really appreciated. Anytime she saw a possible problem or really anything at all she would call me right away. They also contacted me each time somebody was going to see the house and what their feedback was so it was all great."

-Jenny Gochoel, Home Seller

Make Sure You Know the Facts Before Renting Your Vero Beach Home

In today's market, many people are having trouble getting the price they want for their home. This leads them to consider renting their home to earn the money they expected from the home sale. Renting is great for some people, but is a bad idea for others; it just depends on your specific situation. Here are 6 things you should consider before making the decision to rent:

You will need to budget for your fixed expenses. Most importantly, your mortgage payment - which includes principal interest, taxes, and insurance.
You need to take monthly fees into consideration as well. This includes lawn and pool care, as well as homeowners association dues.
Budgeting for vacancy rates is also necessary. For whatever reason, a tenant may not be able to fulfill the agreement and you need to be sure you can afford to pay for the property without a month or two of rent a year.
Miscellaneous repairs will need to be taken into account as well. You are still responsible for the inevitable day-to-day problems every homeowner is familiar with.
Tenants may damage the home, so you need to be prepared to fix any problems caused by any former tenants.
You need to consider the opportunity costs of foregoing the money you could have received during a home sale. Is there a better investment, with fewer risks, you could make?

Renting is difficult because you really don't have any control over the property. You need to carefully analyze the situation before turning one of your most valuable assets over to a tenant. If you would like more advice on the subject or are interested in buying or selling a home in the Vero Beach area, I would be happy to talk with you.

Buying a home is a big process. It requires more than just deciding how many bedrooms you want. Trust me, I know. I am trying to purchase an investment property now.

Often times people ask how I sell my homes quicker and for more money than the average agent. The truth is I make sure my clients don't have to continually ask for more information. I communicate every step of the way and make sure you know all the information that I do.
