John and Amy Salazar Have a Great Experience Selling their Tarheel Home in Murphy NC

John, Thank You. You have been a pleasure to work with – we wish the best to you and your wife. You were so informative and pleasant to work with – especially over the phone. Being out of state, we spent quite a bit of time on the phone together. You made the sale of our house in Tarheel of Murphy NC incredibly easy and kept us informed on what was going on with the sale of our property and the market as a whole. You gave us the information on the Murphy real estate market we couldn’t have gotten any where else! You did a great job for us and there’s no doubt we absolutely recommend you.

Early April Murphy NC Real Estate Market Update

Good afternoon! If you’re not in Murphy right now, you’re missing out on TONS of rain! It’s coming down by the bucket full!

March proved itself by being a great real estate month! 25 homes sold in March – surpassing every month so far this year. There’s lots of activity on the ground and lots of agents are showing. Many of our properties have been getting a great level of showings and we have quite a few of them under contract. The market has 44 homes pending sale – many of which will close this April.

I just finished publishing our Exclusive Market Absorption Report, and to get your copy, you have to be a subscriber to our Murphy NC Real Estate Update! Email me now to join! You can see trends, pricing tiers, and activity on each. Months supply indicates how many months it will take to sell the current inventory at the current selling volume. Generally, anything less than 12 months indicates a seller’s market and anything greater than 12 months is a buyer’s market.

We’re finding this to be a great time to sell – believe it or not! There’s been more activity this year – and we are surpassing 2008 & 2009’s second quarter results already! 2008 averaged only 18 homes per month and 2009 average 21 homes per quarter – that’s a 19% improved over ’09 and a staggering 39% improvement over 2008! Buyer confidence is up and people are itching to buy!

There are still a lot of foreclosures in the process that are “shadow inventory” which are scheduled to come on the market in the future. Foreclosures, short sales, and other economical drivers are pushing prices down as illustrated below:

Average Selling Price

  • Q1 2009 – $165,888
  • Q2 2009 – $157,442
  • Q3 2009 – $161,964
  • Q4 2009 – $147,195
  • Q1 2010 – $132,809

Likely over this year, we will continue to see a slight decline in prices unless volume of transactions increases tremendously, which is possible! I’m finding in many cases its far better to go ahead and sell properties while they are worth more. Land especially falls in this category with almost 2000 parcels of land for sale, we have a 400 month supply or a 33 YEAR SUPPLY of land for sale! Prices have no where to go with land but down. The large majority of those are lots, which are the most affected.

With that said, we’re working hard for you! We’re having a great year with tremendous buyer interest. We appreciate the opportunity to work for you and do so tirelessly. If there’s anything we can do to help you, get your property sold, or if you know someone looking to buy and find a great deal, let us know. THANK YOU and we hope you have a great Spring!

Looking for one of those great deals to buy or sell your property and get the most you can? Contact The Poltrock Team Today!

“Murphy NC Real Estate is Better Becaause of You!”

Friendly, fast and efficient“.  Those are the first words that came to mind when describing the experience David and Stella Rusaw received from Murphy NC real estate‘s Poltrock Team.  “John did a great job in the hard (economic) times we are facing currently.  He was able to locate a buyer for our home and are very happy to have it sold.”

The quick sale generated by my ongoing marketing, both online and offline, and knowledge of the Murphy, NC real estate area allowed us to receive this great review from one of our many sellers.  David and Stella also gave us a 10 out of 10 rating on the level of service we provided him with and that he would undoubtedly work with us again.  Thank you, David and Stella for your kind words!

Another Highly Satisfied Real Estate Seller for The Poltrock Team of Murphy, NC REMAX!

I am pleased to announce the successful home sale on behalf of one of my clients, John Clarke, who enlisted my services to sell his home here in Murphy, NC.  Here’s what John had to say about working with The POLTROCK TEAM:

After speaking with John about my real estate needs, I knew that he was a good choice for effectively selling my home.  John and his team were both consistent and persistent in keeping things moving throughout the selling process, contract and closing.  I soon realized that John would take care of any problems that came up and resolved them with no issues.

Since I was out of State during the transaction, the most helpful aspect of working with The Poltrock Team was knowing that John would take care of all the details and managing each aspect of the sale professionally.

I would have absolutely no reservation in working with The Poltrock Team again in the future or recommending them to others.

I would like to thank John Poltrock and The POLTROCK TEAM for the personal and professional way in which they handled the sale of my property in Western North Carolina.

Because we live in Florida, all of my contacts with John were by telephone. I relied heavily on his advice and knowledge of the area. He was honest with me and answered all of my questions and concerns. I really appreciate his frequent feedback about the sale and subsequent closing on the property.

I would highly recommend John and The POLTROCK TEAM at REMAX to anyone interested in buying and selling property in Murphy, North Carolina.
