Real estate market experiences astonishing growth in July

August 28, 2020

Now that buyers are back on the market following the COVID-19 slowdown in the spring, competition for existing properties is fierce. According to recent data from the National Association of REALTORS®, in July, pending home sales were up 5.9 percent from June, and up 15.5 percent from July 2019. And not only are homes selling—they’re flying off the market.

“We are witnessing a true V-shaped sales recovery as home buyers continue their strong return to the housing market,” says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “Home sellers are seeing their homes go under contract in record time, with nine new contracts for every 10 new listings.”

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, we’re experiencing one of the strongest seller’s markets in recent history (“If 20 percent more homes were on the market, we would have 20 percent more sales, because demand is that high,” says Yun). So if you want to sell your home quickly (and profitably!), now would be a good time to make a move.

TESTIMONIALS

"Russ has done excellent work for us. I have purchased several homes over the years and he is the best I have worked with. We chose Russ on a recommendation from a family member. He didn’t try to sell us on him or his firm. No “fluff talk”, pestering, unnecessary calls, emails or text. Instead, he showed us properties we were interested in and some that we were not aware of. Never felt the least bit of pressure. He was very patient, pleasant and responsive. He has a very relaxed yet professional style. He explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand and we felt very secure throughout the process. He is the best ever. In our mind he is the gold standard of what a Realtor should be."

"As Real Estate Brokers in Hawaii for more than 40 years, we know how important a good agent is when looking to buy property when you can’t be there. After seeing a property listed by Russ, we called and talked with him. He came across as very knowledgeable, competent, helpful, and friendly so we asked Russ to send us new listings for the type of property we were looking for, which he did. When a property came up that we liked we contacted Russ and had him arrange to show the place to our son who lives in Green Valley. Everything looked great so we had Russ write and present our offer, which was accepted. Russ followed through with everything required and kept us up to date each step through escrow and the final closing. We are very happy with how Russ treated us and made sure everything got done when it needed to be done. Every step of this purchase was handled by phone and email. We recommend Russ to everyone looking for a good agent to represent them in Real Estate."

"Anytime, anywhere, he was there, always going the extra mile. He even came to the house and watered trees so they would not die — more then once. He’s what you call real professional, a 10.5 on a 10 scale. I was out of town when the house was listed so he went to the house and did a video. I didn’t see a dishwasher, he said “yes it was there.” That was good enough for me, but he went to house and took picture to show me. He kept me informed every step of the process, and followed-up to ask if I had any questions."
