The Poltrock Team Rates A+

The Poltrock Team was recommended to me by a local business here in Murphy, NC when I mentioned I was looking for a home. I liked my first impression of The Poltrock Team at ReMax so I decided to use them as my real estate agency. Agent, Donna Srabian, worked with me to find a home and basically knew exactly what I wanted. She gave me helpful tips on financing and insurance companies, too. Everyone at The Poltrock Team are A+ employees from the receptionist to the agents. Thanks to all and a special thank you to Donna Srabian for her patience and great help during this transaction.

John Poltrock Has Been at REMAX in Murphy NC for 10 Years

John Poltrock at REMAX 10 YearsIt’s hard to believe – I’ve officially been with REMAX in Murphy NC for 10 years! It’s been an incredible opportunity and a lot of fun. I have met wonderful people who I will never forget. I’ve sold hundreds of homes, as many parcels of land, and went from “Rising Star” with the Mountain Lakes Board of Realtors shortly after I first started real estate here to the top Realtor in the area.

Everything started with Jessica and I getting married 10 years ago – that’s right – my marriage anniversary and RE/MAX anniversary are literally a few days apart! Thank you to every person who I’ve worked for and with – I am thankful for and enjoy every day and look forward to 10 more years! I couldn’t be happier than to call Murphy NC my home and real estate my career.

The Poltrock Team Is Very Professional, But Treats You Like Family

I found out about The Poltrock Team at REMAX in Murphy from MyMurphy.com and decided to buy our property with them.

We had a wonderful experience with Donna.  She handled everything for us and answered all questions or found out quickly anything we needed to know.  She was always available to help us.  She always kept us updated on the process of closing and all other things we needed to take care of prior to closing.

The Poltrock Team has been great to work with.  Donna is very professional, but treats you just like family.  We would definitely work with this group again!

RE/MAX Has The Coverage My Home in Murphy NC Needed to Sell

I decided to work with The Poltrock Team because they represented RE/MAX, and I knew that RE/MAX had the coverage that my home needed. Immediately, I liked John’s attitude!

The Poltrock Team went above and beyond by having a representative check on my house when I could not be there for health care reasons.

Everything was handled well – nicely and helpfully.  John has a nice persona and makes one feel cared for.  His team helped to find a family that bought my farm who are exactly what I prayed for.  I hope they love it as much as my husband, family, and I did!

Happy Fall from the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina! The leaves are now showing off their brilliant colors and marks an excellent time for folks to come to the mountains, both for leisure and to buy real estate!

SOLD REAL ESTATE UPDATE

So far, this year’s real estate sales have been wonderful and sporadic. We have seen some of the best months we have seen in many years and while some fell to 2011 records. Despite mixed results, this year has continued to show incredible stability in one of the most important parts to sellers – pricing. We have not noticed any major indicators pointing toward lower prices for about a year and a half. On the flip side, we have not noticed any rising prices as of yet either. This is a strong positive considering the rapidly declining prices we have seen in years past. It takes stability first to have rising prices!

RE/MAX Has 44% Market Share in Cherokee County

Here are some useful facts about our current HOUSING market:

  • Both August and September yielded higher monthly volume than the past 5 years
  • Total house sales volume is down 10.3% (2013 sold 321 to end of Q3 and 2013 sold 288)
  • The Absorption Rate of Homes is steadily improving. We’re at a 12.9 month supply of homes – an incredible improvement! In 2008, we had reached an astonishing 54 month supply of homes! The lower this number is, the better for sellers.
  • There are 620 homes currently for sale in Cherokee County.
  • List to Sell Ratio continues to hold steady at 93%. That means sellers take an average of 93% of their asking price. The lowest we saw was 84%. The higher this number is, the better for sellers.
  • An average of 45 homes sold each month in the third quarter! That’s incredibly strong – especially if you look at the attached Monthly Volume, you’ll see what I mean!
  • Days on Market – aka. time for a home to sell – is continuing to improve! Last month it took an average of 188 days to sell a home. 209 days is the annual average which is one full month faster than past!

CLICK HERE to Join our SOLD UPDATE! Here you will see a link to see all the SOLD homes, land, and commercial property. Pictures, prices, sold dates, and more!

Here are some useful facts about our current LAND market:

  • Land sales volumes continue to hold steady – low teens is the average monthly volume consistently and has been for several years now.
  • Large tract acreage prices tends to average $2,000-3,000
  • List to Sell Ratio has averaged 81-85% for this year
  • There is a 73 month supply of land available for sale
  • There are 977 Parcels of land for sale in Cherokee County

The next 45 days on the market are crucial. We’re able to capitalize on some of the busiest time of the year. Make sure you’re prepared for it and making the most of the activity we’re going to have moving forward.

Looking to the future, we can expect sales are going to continue to be great. We’ll see seasonality kick in and sales drop off once we get to about 2 weeks before Christmas. Once that hits, we’ll have a lull of approximately 30 days. We’ll then see buyers begin to come back into the marketplace yielding a great February and March. It’s contrary to many folk’s popular belief, but it is the case. In today’s world of communication, buyers are still able to search and find the property they’ve been dreaming of no matter the weather or time of year. If you’re thinking, “nothing’s going to happen in the winter,” you can be very wrong.
