p a i d a d v e r t i s e m e n t Penny Stock #RealEstate At this time, we would urge our clients to remain calm and not make any fear based decisions. Arizona will continue to benefit as it has for years in the short and long term from an influx of people moving from harder hit states like California, Illinois, and New York. Additionally, real estate may be seen as a safe haven from a stock market that has lost over 30% of its value. -Tucker Blalock (Q1 Market Report - April 2nd, 2020) The words above were written at the height of the COVID pandemic on April 2, 2020 for our Q1 market report of that year. The poise in those words is how your real estate advisor should respond to the markets in turbulent times. Too often in our society I feel a sense of frenetic penny stock energy coming from the masses in regards to real estate. They watch home prices on Zillow like stock tickers and calculate their equity in real time. Even worse, it seems like everyone has been brainwashed into thinking that the housing market only moves in one direction...from the lower left to the upper right...in 20% increments. As the market changes, you will need to temper your expectations and understand that past results are not indicative of future returns. In this uncertain time of Federal Reserve tightening and increased inventory, we will not continue to return 10+%. Rather than yell, “Fire!,” we see this as a healthy break while the market digests the extreme conditions that infused wild volatility into our housing prices over the past couple of years. The housing market will feel slower in the interim and that’s ok. We still expect Phoenix real estate to remain resilient and continue to appreciate with lower single digit gains. This next phase of the market will call for increased workload for real estate agents. The current 72Sold ® model will no longer work. Your agent will need dynamic marketing power and deep relationships to help your home stand out in a more crowded marketplace. If you have any questions or need advice on how you should handle this next phase of the market, please do not hesitate to call us anytime. We are always here for you and ready to advise when the time is right. Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you around soon!
