2016 Real Estate Market

Home Buyers Face Low Inventory, High Demand


While house prices
are on the rise, interest
rates remain low
by Marty Harris

The future of the real estate market is one of


continued price appreciation and high demand.
Thats according to Sandy Hancock, president of
the St. Louis Association of REALTORS and broker/
owner of RE/MAX Results with five offices including
Des Peres and South County.
While demand is high, inventory is not.
Lack of inventory is a big factor in todays
market, said Suzi Mattus, branch manager at the
Kirkwood office of Coldwell Banker Gundaker.
One reason for the lack of inventory is a fear
factor of sellers who do not want to put their home
on the market for fear of not finding another home
since inventory is low, Mattus said.
The months of inventory is used by REALTORS
to project future price trends, Hancock said. The
inventory is the number of months it would take to
sell all the homes listed at the current sales rate. A
four- to five-month inventory is normal. Anything
less than four months will push prices up.
Right now, we have five months of inventory
for Des Peres (stable). ZIP code 63119 is showing
only two to three months and 63122 is showing
three to four months, she said. I feel that (prices
in) all three ZIP codes will increase, but 63119 and
63122 will accelerate. The luxury market continues
to increase, again pushing median prices higher
including Des Peres.
Hancock said the market could support even
higher prices, although the increases will be

limited by our ability to get the properties to


appraise at that new price.
Appraisers must use comparable sales from the
last six months because homes with loans will be
limited by the comparable sales, she added.
Because home prices cannot accelerate as fast
as demand, this is causing a continuous competition
for homes, Hancock said. She said this is resulting
in multiple contract offers on many of their listings
with many of those offers over the list price.
The list price is limited
by the knowledge that
a home priced too high
cannot be supported by
comparable sales and
may not be able to be
appraised according to
the appraisers rules,
Hancock said.
Sometimes, we are
seeing

homework and fixing their homes up


prior to going on the market, Mattus
said.
Many buyers are looking for
homes in pristine condition, Hancock
said. Any time you improve the
quality of a property, you increase
the number of buyers who will
consider that home and that allows
sellers to get full price.
According to Mattus, buyers and
sellers more than ever need a real
estate professional going under

contract is the easy part, keeping


it through building inspections,
appraisals, title and survey is the
challenging part.
Creating more interested buyers
is the primary job of a REALTOR,
said Hancock. With todays focus
on Internet marketing, professional
photos and staging is so important!
But also, the REALTOR will
help the homeowner to analyze the
condition (of the home) and find
resources for the owner to improve
the home, she said. Yes, condition
does matter!

When drafting a to-do list for


home
improvements
that
can
increase home value and appeal,
homeowners may want to consider
outdoor lighting schemes that can
make homes safer and more alluring.
To get started, examine the
homes exterior and make note
of existing lighting and where
improvements can be made. For
those not sure where to begin, speak
with an electrician or a landscape
designer who can offer suggestions
on lighting and which options are the
best fit for a particular property.
Next, consider efficiency and
function.
The
United
States
Department of Energy suggests
incorporating
energy-efficient
lighting, including energy-saving
LED bulbs or fluorescent lights, into
plans. Timers and other automatic
controls can prevent waste by
turning lights on only when they are
needed. Solar lights can be used as
accent lights, further saving energy.
Beauty
When addressing aesthetics, think
about the appeal of an accented
landscape. Include lights to frame
the front door and call attention to
certain elements, such as decorative
trees or water features. Use lights to
light up deck stairways or to accent
planters. Speak with a lighting
professional about how to position
lights to cover the most territory in
the most attractive way possible.

Safety
Safety
is
an
important
consideration when improving a
home. Lighting can help illuminate
potential hazards or draw attention
to borders or property boundaries.
Be sure lights will clearly mark
other walkways, such as those
leading from doors to the yard or
from the garage to where trash pails
are kept. If a design element such
as a bridge over a water feature or
a tree is difficult to navigate in the
dark, use lights to improve visibility.
Security
Added security is another reason
to install exterior lighting. Eliminate
dark corners by lighting areas where
thieves may be able to gain access
to a home. This includes areas near
doorways and ground-level windows.
Install motion-sensor lights in such
areas for energy efficiency.
Lighting may also scare away
animals. A raccoon, skunk or
opossum may think twice about
hanging around a home when the
property is bathed in a spotlight.

possessions at her

Appraisals, located
at 7522 Big Bend

Every move presents an opportunity to divest


oneself of stuff thats no longer needed or wanted.
A downsizing move from a large home to
a smaller domicile often entails disposing of
many items, such as furniture, art, jewelry and
collections. Settling estates and divorces also
requires the disposition of personal property.
Some of this property may be quite valuable, but
determining the value and finding a buyer can be
tricky.
Some things arent as valuable as people think,
said certified appraiser Maria Gianino.
She cited china as an emotional hot-button item.
While young women of the World War II
Greatest Generation chose china patterns and
happily collected all the set pieces over time, their
granddaughters today have little interest in formal
tableware that cant be put in the dishwasher. This
makes grandmas china less valuable for resale
purchases.
Gianino, proprietor of Legacy Appraisals located
at 7522 Big Bend Blvd. in Shrewsbury, is an
independent appraiser of jewelry, art and antiques
for estate, trust, probate and insurance purposes.
She is a graduate of the Gemological Institute
of America and earned a certificate in appraisal
studies in fine and decorative arts from New York
Universitys School of Professional Studies. She is

an accredited member of the International Society


of Appraisers and a member of the National
Association of Jewelry Appraisers. She was a buyer,
seller and dealer for 25 years and owned three
retail shops (including Francescas Fabulous Finds).
Gianino helps bereaved families who are
overwhelmed and afraid to give away or sell
anything until they know the value. The first step is
identifying items of value and determining the fair
market value for resale.
Determining Value
The best way to determine the resale value of
an item, such as jewelry or an antique is to get an
unbiased estimate of fair market value from an
appraiser, Gianino said.
Just as the market for fine china has waned in
recent years, the value of furniture fluctuates with
current trends. Some 20 years ago, Country French

Mid-century modern American furniture, she said.
Now its all the rage.
Styles, tastes and trends change, and it affects
the value of our parents furniture, Gianino said.
Two things that do retain their value are fine
art and fine jewelry, such as gold, diamonds and
precious gems.
Other factors that make things valuable are:
Provenance where the item came from and
its history. A receipt or other documentation is
helpful.
Good, undamaged condition.
Collectability Baseball cards, autographed
baseballs, Victorian jewelry, books and oil paintings
are some collectibles that retain value. Some trendy
collectibles like Beanie Babies and Cabbage Patch
Dolls have passed their prime, Gianino said.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS


ARE SAYING:
I had put Joel under the
pressure of selling my home
and finding an affordable
home to move into all in three
months. From setting the price
to staging to negotiation,
Joel made the process as
smooth as silk. In addition
on the purchase side, Jenn
was prompt, attentive and
knowledgeable. Run, dont
walk, to Joels team if ever you
need realty services.
Joel and Jenn did a great job
helping us buy and sell in the
Webster Groves/Kirkwood
area. They know everyone and
everything about the area, are
very knowledgeable about the
market, and were responsive
to our every need throughout
the process. They are both
extremely easy and fun to
work with, and generally great
people! We highly recommend
Circa and Joels team!

Letting it Go
For those having trouble parting

as a keepsake and let the rest go.

Make Home Appealing To Buyers By Staging


Todays buyers
want a house
move-in ready
by Linda Jarrett

Buying a home can be an exciting


experience. Selling a home, on the
other hand, can be akin to chewing
tin foil.
Sellers, usually, love their homes
and cannot imagine anyone not
walking in and feeling the same way.
Halli and Eric Bronners company,
Lockwood and Mason Real Estate &
Design, located in Kirkwood, works
with sellers to help through them
through the sometimes daunting task
of selling a home.
Staged homes sell for 15 percent
more and 30 percent quicker,
according to Halli Bonner, home
stager,
redesigner
and
color
consultant at Lockwood and Mason,
where Eric is broker/salesperson/
Realtor.
When people list their home with
Eric, I give them a two-hour staging
consultation, Halli said. I basically
give them a very detailed list broken
into three categories things to
purchase, things to repair, and things
to purge or store.
For instance, I might say you need
to mow, you need to edge, change the
front door color and heres the color
you need to change it, then we go on
through the house, she said.
Staging can be as simple as adding

clients.

accessories like pillows, vases, floral
arrangements, or pictures, or it can
be as involved as bringing in new
furniture to show the house to its best
advantage.
You want people to fall in love
with the house, but theyre really
falling in love with a lifestyle, Halli
said. Buyers want homes that are
move-in ready.
This is the HGTV generation,
Eric added.
For those who are not familiar
with that term, it is the Home and
Garden TV channel that features
a myriad of shows that depict the

before and after of renovating and


staging.
So, in 30 minutes, they see this
amazing transformation and the end
product, Eric said. Then, they say,
Oh my gosh, thats exactly what I
want.
Where 10 to 20 years ago they
were expected to put sweat equity
in a house, now the expectation is, I
want a move-in ready house. I dont
even want to have to lift a paint
brush, he said.
HGTV has all sorts of programs
like following buyers around while
theyre looking for a home, Halli

said. It follows flippers to see the


before and after of their work.
Flippers are people who buy
homes, rehab them, and sell them.
Tracy Vaninger of The Roman
Group is a flipper.
We buy houses, rehab and sell,
so when we get to the end, we stage
them, she said. Everything is
pristine and people can visualize and
see how they would function in this
space.
It creates an emotional response,
she said. When buyers walk into a
home that is staged, they can imagine
their kids sitting at the kitchen bar or
by the fireplace.
The generation preceding the
millennials are the hardest to
convince (about staging), Halli said.
They dont see the need for it, she
said. When you bought your home,
homes werent staged.
Using
your
imagination
to
visualize homes that are empty is not
the norm, she said. Its very difficult
for people to see where their furniture
would go.
One of the Bronners clients,
Melanie Braun, moved from a 1,000
square foot house that sold within a
day of being staged.
We were open to staging because
we knew that our house, being that
size, was set up to function for our
family, and that wouldnt appeal to
buyers, she said.
The Internet also plays a part in
finding houses, and staging plays a
big part.

Staging A House For Prospective Buyers from page 10

Halli and Eric Bronner own Lockwood and Mason


Real Estate in Kirkwood.
photo by Diana Linsley

Prospective buyers can look up homes and see


pictures of the interior and exterior.
The staging that made a difference to me was
looking at photos, Braun said. When it wasnt
staged, it didnt seem pleasant to look at, and I
didnt even want to see the house.
Talking to clients about staging can be delicate
situation, according to Eric said.
You dont want to act like youre criticizing their
house or their style when were just trying to convey
that this is in their best interest, and minor esthetic
changes can make a big difference in how quickly
their house sells.
Halli said she tries to convince sellers that
staging is a good thing, but if the client stands
fast, she suggests a price adjustment on the homes
selling price.
Eric and I hope that what sets our business

apart is the condition of the house and the price,


and finding the best match between the two she
said.
Instead of pricing the house so it will sell
quickly, our approach is to bring the condition up
so the house can sell for as much as possible, and
thats appealing to homeowners that dont want
to do the work, and think about it from a financial
perspective, she said.
The cost of staging varies, depending on how
large the space is and how much furniture and/or
accessories are required.
I think a better approach is to let sellers know
that preparing your home to sell will cost them
and that they should set aside necessary funds for
repairs and staging, Halli said. This investment
will help add value to their home.

Budget-Friendly Ways To Add Curb Appeal


painting house numbers on a terracotta pot and filling it with plants.
The pot will be decorative and
functional.

Make good first


impression by sprucing
up houses exterior
Many
homeowners
feel
an
attractive
exterior
is
just
as
important as a comfortable interior.
Curb appeal can help a home get
noticed in a bustling real estate
market and can contribute to the
aesthetics of a neighborhood.
Homeowners do not have to spend
a fortune to improve their homes
curb appeal. With these strategies,
anyones home can take on a more
appealing look.
Clean Up
Cleaning up the yard and homes
exterior is one of the easiest and most
cost-effective ways to give the place
a makeover. Cut back overgrown
shrubs, plants and trees.
Make sure the front door is clearly
visible and that any walkways are
edged and accessible. Store garbage
pails behind a barrier and keep trash
out of sight. Store childrens toys in
the backyard rather than strewn the
front lawn.

Adding curb appeal can be an


inexpensive way to set a home apart.
Spruce Up The Lawn
A well-manicured lawn can go a
long way to making a home more
appealing. For a homeowner who
doesnt have a green thumb, consider
hiring a lawn and garden service to
help establish a lush, green lawn.
Dress To Impress
The entryway is the first thing
visitors see. Be sure the front door
and entryway are in good repair. A
pop of color cant hurt, either. If the
idea of painting the door a vivid hue
isnt appealing, dress it up with a
colorful wreath or another decorative
accent. Welcoming accents, such as
cushioned chairs or potted plants,
also add curb appeal. Consider

Kim Anderson

Rely On Symmetry
Symmetry is pleasing to the eye
and easy to arrange. Use to frame
the entryway and throughout the
property. Symmetrical use of lighting
fixtures, plants, trees and decorative
items really can have an impact.
Dont Forget Lighting
Outdoor lighting adds appeal and
safety to a property. Use lighting to
accent a special landscaping feature
or to illuminate a walkway. Few
people enjoy approaching a dark
home, and outdoor lighting can
ensure the property always is well-lit.

Top 5 Projects To Help


Homeowners Save Money

Considerations Before
Doing A Home Expansion

Simple jobs can


add up to savings

Knowing what to expect can make it easier


to plan & cope with expanding a house

Its remodeling season, and with so


many projects on the to-do list, which
should a homeowner tackle first?
While some projects provide great
long-term return on investment, a
few simple ones can provide instant
savings. Here are the top home
spring projects to help save money:
Caulk around windows and
doors. Stop air leaks around a home
by sealing existing gaps and cracks.
Use caulking or weather stripping
around doors and windows. Installing
a door sweep is also a good idea.
Insulate
the
house.
Use
insulation with a high R-value which
can be used to top up insulation in
the attic. Aim for an R-value of 50 or
a depth of 16 inches. For whole home
efficiency, ensure other areas, such
as crawl spaces, basement headers,
walls and ceilings, are well insulated.
It will keep the house cool in the
warm weather and take the stress off
the air-conditioning unit.
Clean air-conditioning unit.
Come spring, its not uncommon to
find an air conditioners condenser
and compressor blocked up with dirt
and debris. This can result in greater
stress on the unit, causing it to work
harder. Giving it a thorough cleaning
is easy and can help maximize the
air-conditioning units service life

Plant a tree to provide shade and


reduce cooling costs.
while minimizing the energy bill.
Plant trees. Direct sunlight
can heat up surfaces and building
materials, as well as the interior
temperature of a home. Consider
planting trees in strategic locations
to provide shade and reduce cooling
costs.
Install a rain barrel. Water is
an important, but costly resource.
Installing a rain barrel is an easy and
affordable measure to reduce water
consumption, while keeping a lawn
and garden looking great.

Homeowners who feel a little


confined may be interested in
expanding their homes to make them
more comfortable and serviceable.
Expanding a home requires
careful consideration. While the end
results can be spectacular, expansion
is typically a long and costly process
that will impede on the lifestyles of
inhabitants during the renovation
process. Expect loud noises, work
crews and sawdust throughout the
project.
By becoming with the familiar
with the expansion process and
recognizing potential snags along the
way can make planning and coping
that much easier.
1. Many homeowners first consult
with a contractor when mulling
over
expansions.
However,
an
architect might be the better first
choice. He or she may be able to
suggest renovations that fit with
the neighborhood and appeal to
prospective buyers when possibly
selling the home in the future.
2. Visit the building inspection
or municipal office to learn the
local regulations to ensure that any
renovations are done in keeping with
safety codes and laws.
3. Give neighbors the heads up
on plans. This way they will not be
surprised by the extra noise and

activity when the renovation begins.


4. Remodeling can cost anywhere
from $200 to $600 per square foot.
Homeowners will need to figure out
a way to pay for the renovations
which may include refinancing the
home. Make sure it is a smart time
financially to do so based on current
real estate market conditions. Also
know that additions will likely
increase home insurance coverage
needs. Consult with the insurance
company about estimated charges
and any restrictions it may have.
5.
Consider
a
stand-alone
structure when mulling over options.
Sometimes the cost of putting up
a free-standing office or another
structure may be less expensive.

Honest Answers
About the Market

Is now the time to sell?

Yes. Your house is likely worth more now than at any


point in the last 8 years. While you can never time the
market, your timing is pretty darn good right now.

What does it take to get


ready to sell?

Well pay you a visit to get to know you and your


home. Then well make helpful suggestions that
will enable buyers to see your home in the best
light possible. Well even throw in a free staging
consultation. The point is to make your home a star.

How do I know that youre


going to set the right price?

Setting the right price is a science and an art based


on our knowledge of the market. Of course, you must
be comfortable with the price. When buyers and
sellers agree on the price, magic happens. Our job
is to make that happen, 100 percent of the time.

How quickly will my home sell?


According to the MLS, the average time on the market
in Webster Groves and Kirkwood is roughly two
months. Some houses sell the first day, and some take
four months or longer. We will set up your transaction to
get maximum value based on your timeline. Translation:
Whether you need to move fast, or have all the time
in the world, well get the best price possible for your
house in the time we have to sell it.

Why should I choose you?

Plain and simple, insight and service. We know the


market, pricing and the competition. And, youre our
neighbor, so well take care of you.

Im ready. Who should I call?


Call John at 314.965.4663. We cant wait to
work with you.

How will you market


my house?

It starts with properly creating your listing in the MLS.


Then we combine traditional print mediums (like this
newspaper) with advertising on real estate marketing
portals like Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com. We are also
big on social media, especially Facebook. But our
secret sauce is our network. We know which agents
have which buyers, and we target those people.
