Is your agent showing your prospects the door?
Okay, I’ve just got to rant a bit and get this off my chest. I’d like to hear from some of the local builders in town to get their prospective. Perhaps I’m just totally off base here.
So here’s the scenario:
A builder has a new homes site, where prospects sign in and register as they come through to view the homes. I feel strongly that the site agent represents that builder and that new home site’s interests as their client. I would not dare attempt to take prospective buyers from my client’s site to the competition site in order to make a sale and pad my pocket. I guess I’m naive, as I would not want an agent, oh let me correct that “REALTOR” representing me that would take my sites prospect to a competing neighborhood. Apparently, there are those who do this.
Do you builders take issue with this practice? I would love to hear from you.

October 2012 Housing Stats are ON FIRE!
The October 2012′s Housing Market SIZZLES! Double digit increases in settled sales and under contracts offer promise for real estate trends in Hampton Roads. Active listings experienced a double digit percentage decrease, thereby lowering the month’s supply of inventory.October 2012 saw a 13.8% year-over-year increase in residential settled sales. This marks the eighth time this year that settled sales have increased year-over-year.
The number of under contract sales was up 26.1% in October 2012 when compared to the same time last year. This is the highest year-over-year increase the market has experienced since January 2012 when the number of pending sales grew 32.9%. Suffolk and Virginia Beach experienced the largest year-over-year increases at 100% and 29.8%. Residential listings for sale continue to decline and were down 12.1% overall when compared to October 2011. Each of the major seven cities experienced year-over-year drops in active listings.
Chesapeake and Virginia Beach showed the largest declines of 21.9% and 19.9% in active listings. This drop has led to a significant drop in month’s supply of inventory – now at 6.79 months as compared to 8.44 months in October 2011. In the supply and demand equation, this lowering of inventory bodes well for the median sales price, which was $199,000 in October 2012, up 5.4% from $188,780 in October 2011.
Distressed homes (homes that are banked owned or short sales) continue to have an impact on the region. Although the number of distressed active listings has dropped 25 units year-over-year, they still account for 26.8% of all residential active listings in October 2012, vs. 24.3% in October 2011. This may suggest that buyers are purchasing more non-distressed listings. Distressed homes comprised 28.3% of all residential settled sales in October 2012. Though this is up 2.9% from September this year, distressed residential settled sales are down 4.8% from October 2011. October 2012′s Housing Market SIZZLES!
