- 1:04Speaker 1: look at houses in the afternoon at two o'clock, so
- 1:07Speaker 1: I met them, we added that house onto the showing list,
- 1:12Speaker 1: and by I think seven thirty eight o'clock at night,
- 1:16Speaker 1: we had it under contract. So was super excited about that.
- 1:21Speaker 1: They fell in love with the home and yeah, yeah,
- 1:26Speaker 1: so we're just not too far away from closing for them,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and uh and then you know it's like, hey, like

- 1:36Speaker 1: the first I don't know, seven days of the market,
- 1:39Speaker 1: we had like three showings and then in the last
- 1:43Speaker 1: three days we've had nine showings. Wow, So you just
- 1:47Speaker 1: don't know. No, it was completely random.

- 16:32Speaker 1: thank you again for reaching out to us. In the studio,
- 16:35Speaker 1: we've got Brad Smith with Cross Country Mortgage and bradsmithlons
- 16:40Speaker 1: dot com and so Brad, you know, I mean, this
- 16:43Speaker 1: is our busy season. We've got a bunch of homes
- 16:45Speaker 1: are coming onto the market, a lot of people are
- 16:48Speaker 1: having to sell their house to buy another one. And
- 16:51Speaker 1: you know, those those pesty little interest rates, they do
- 16:55Speaker 1: make a difference, don't they.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Man, they do, they do. And you know, we're still
- 17:01Speaker 3: just hovering around. I think I think the thirty year
- 17:05Speaker 3: average this past week was around six point four on
- 17:10Speaker 3: the conventional so we've got a little bit of a
- 17:13Speaker 3: little bit of reduction there, but it's all still just
- 17:16Speaker 3: hinged on war news and war headlines. I mean, you know,
- 17:20Speaker 3: no matter we had some decent economic data last week,
- 17:23Speaker 3: the bonds didn't really move at all with the mortgage
- 17:25Speaker 3: mortgage backed securities, and so rates didn't do much, if
- 17:29Speaker 3: really anything. And you know, again the ceasefire helped a
- 17:33Speaker 3: little bit, but that didn't last very long either as
- 17:35Speaker 3: far as people following the ceasefire. Threatening did not follow
- 17:38Speaker 3: the ceasefire. So the market's been really pretty flat just
- 17:42Speaker 3: because there's not a whole lot of things changing or
- 17:45Speaker 3: people probably feeling the change, and not enough headlines to
- 17:49Speaker 3: move anything. So right now, we're just pretty flat until
- 17:51Speaker 3: we get a better understanding of how long and how
- 17:54Speaker 3: this war is going to go down over the next week,
- 17:57Speaker 3: two weeks, months, and hopefully you know, more than months,
- 18:00Speaker 3: but you just never know, you know.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I think what's interesting, at least what I've been seeing
- 18:05Speaker 1: out in the market is, you know, I mean, we're
- 18:08Speaker 1: we are in selling season, yep, so I think that
- 18:11Speaker 1: helps tremendously. But I haven't really had anybody talk about
- 18:15Speaker 1: interest rates. No, they're they're they're waiting for that perfect house.
- 18:19Speaker 1: They're waiting for that house that might be fully updated
- 18:22Speaker 1: or you know, updated enough for them, or they've got
- 18:25Speaker 1: to sell a property to buy another property. You know,
- 18:28Speaker 1: everybody is in certain situations. I will say that I
- 18:32Speaker 1: have more opportunities for better deals right now because of
- 18:37Speaker 1: random different circumstances. Yes, so you know it's I feel like,
- 18:44Speaker 1: you know, in certain areas, we've got very much a
- 18:47Speaker 1: seller's market. Yeah, if you price it right. I mean
- 18:50Speaker 1: multiple offers in certain areas. That's your Mountain Brooks, your Homewoods,
- 18:54Speaker 1: your Vestavia's parts of Hoover. In your other areas, it depends,
- 19:00Speaker 1: Like I mean, five dollars gas is going to impact
- 19:03Speaker 1: people that you know, they're the what I would say
- 19:08Speaker 1: are more affordable home buyers, and so every little bit,
- 19:14Speaker 1: you know, if they're if the people that are looking
- 19:16Speaker 1: for one hundred percent financing, like every dollar counts, every dollar.
- 19:20Speaker 1: And so I'm seeing in the affordable housing standpoint a
- 19:24Speaker 1: little bit of you know, heartache, and the luxury marketing
- 19:29Speaker 1: not as much. Yeah, it's just more about finding that
- 19:32Speaker 1: right property. So it's super interesting, uh, from what I've
- 19:35Speaker 1: been seeing.
- 19:36Speaker 3: One hundred percent and so and and kind of to
- 19:39Speaker 3: what what we're talking about is like the interest rate changes,
- 19:43Speaker 3: the payment and affects it, but for for each each
- 19:46Speaker 3: price point, for each home buyer, it's relative, right, and
- 19:49Speaker 3: so like the rate's not really changing it that much.
- 19:52Speaker 3: When we start talking about individuals home on their budget
- 19:57Speaker 3: for what they're looking at, but when you start impacting
- 20:00Speaker 3: what their actual monthly budget is. Going back to the
- 20:04Speaker 3: gas being you know, four dollars a gallon up, you know,
- 20:07Speaker 3: an up that starts really hurting the check book on
- 20:11Speaker 3: a daily basis and can start slow and maybe you
- 20:15Speaker 3: know on like you're talking about this something like like
- 20:16Speaker 3: you know, we're just just use that using that that
- 20:20Speaker 3: the ninety eight thousand properly we used earlier, Like that property,
- 20:25Speaker 3: if that if the rate on that was six percent
- 20:27Speaker 3: instead of six and a half where I was using
- 20:29Speaker 3: it earlier, you know it would be it would be
- 20:33Speaker 3: the payment would be was it five point fifty eight
- 20:38Speaker 3: opposed to five eighty eight? So I mean walking about
- 20:41Speaker 3: thirty dollars, So that thirty dollars a month isn't that huge,
- 20:44Speaker 3: but when you're spending an extra one hundred and fifty
- 20:46Speaker 3: two hundred dollars on gas and an extra one hundred
- 20:48Speaker 3: hundred fifty dollars on groceries and you start looking at
- 20:51Speaker 3: all that adding up to the direct daily impact. I
- 20:54Speaker 3: think it does. It does impact more of that middle
- 20:57Speaker 3: to lower income and price point a little bit because
- 21:00Speaker 3: it's it's hurting a lot. More people are noticing it
- 21:03Speaker 3: more every day they go out, That's right. So I
- 21:05Speaker 3: think that does impact a little bit of the thought process. Yeah,
- 21:08Speaker 3: the actual payment itself isn't you know, a half percent difference.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It's thirty bucks on a one hundred thousand dollars purchase.
- 21:15Speaker 3: And so I mean again that that's not going to
- 21:18Speaker 3: keep you from buying the house, but all the other
- 21:20Speaker 3: things that are going up around you might be. Yeah,
- 21:22Speaker 3: and so it's tough.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Well, so it's interesting, you know.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I mean you've got like I've I've dealt with multiple
- 21:28Speaker 1: offers in the areas I spoke even like Chelsea or
- 21:33Speaker 1: like Oak Mountain area, multiple offers, and you know, like
- 21:39Speaker 1: we had to work on reducing our inspection days. Actually
- 21:42Speaker 1: had somebody just decide, hey, we will move forward without
- 21:45Speaker 1: an inspection and they were comfortable with that. I've had
- 21:50Speaker 1: people do pre listening or not pre listing. I do
- 21:54Speaker 1: have some pre listing inspections going on, but a pre
- 21:58Speaker 1: offer inspection so that they can make a better offer.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I've had people go above list price and not get it.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I mean I heard a story. I think I mentioned
- 22:06Speaker 1: it last week, over eighty eighty thousand over on a
- 22:10Speaker 1: list price, which was fifteen percent over over the list price.
- 22:17Speaker 1: That's significant and still didn't get it. Golly, So you know,
- 22:23Speaker 1: I mean that just kind of tells you, like it
- 22:25Speaker 1: really just depends on the area. So that's why it's
- 22:28Speaker 1: super important to have a you know, a very experienced
- 22:34Speaker 1: licensed professional like myself and my team to look at
- 22:39Speaker 1: your scenario and see what is really the best thing
- 22:43Speaker 1: to do.
- 22:43Speaker 2: How do we get you the most amount of money?
- 22:46Speaker 1: And selling it, you know, to your neighbor's friend might
- 22:49Speaker 1: not be the best way to get the most amount
- 22:51Speaker 1: of money. I dealt with I had a I interviewed
- 22:56Speaker 1: for a listing and I was one of three people
- 22:59Speaker 1: to interview, and I got the listing and the seller set.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I was the most prepared of any of the agents
- 23:10Speaker 1: that she met with and had was confident in my delivery,
- 23:15Speaker 1: had the numbers where she thought that it should have been.
- 23:18Speaker 1: And I'm pumped because it's in an area. It's an Edgewood
- 23:21Speaker 1: I love it.
- 23:22Speaker 2: This is home.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know it just you know, haven't and
- 23:30Speaker 1: and and part of that strategy was we don't don't
- 23:34Speaker 1: sell it to your neighbor's friend. Let's go to market
- 23:36Speaker 1: and let's see what the market is going to takee
- 23:39Speaker 1: the value of this hime. Sure. So anyways, we are
