Pocket Listings in Anne Arundel County – Private Exclusive Listings

Are you looking to buy a house for less or sell a house for less? Interested in pocket listings, off-market listings, private exclusive listings, properties that are not in MLS? Do you want to sell your house the best way?

Perhaps you have seen more creative real estate ads lately. Competition is fierce. 

And new guidelines mean that marketing strategies are changing. What worked yesterday may not work today, and what works today may not work tomorrow.

Michele Lerner recently wrote in the Washington Post article “‘Pocket listings,’ those secretive, off-market offerings of homes for sale, to disappear in the D.C. area”:

If you’ve ever been the recipient of an email blast from a real estate agent with photos, prices and information on “private exclusive listings,” you may have felt privileged. But for other real estate agents and buyers, the practice of pocket listings, also known as office exclusive listings or off-MLS (multiple listing service) listings, is frustrating.

Now that practice in the Washington area may be coming to an end.

It’s a hot debate about eliminating “pocket listings” and making all information available to home buyers. At the same time, sellers want things done their way, at their convenience, and to their advantage. Obviously, different people have different interests, and the landscape is changing.

Be sure to plan well in advance for your next move. To get the best outcome, find out about the latest market changes, and act accordingly. 

Talk to me early! What’s your dream home?

* Keep the most money in your pocket?
* Make showings as easy as possible?
* Coordinate the timing of your buying and selling to make your move as smooth as possible?

Here are some market statistics for August of 2019 in Anne Arundel County, compared to last year:

  • Average Discount Off Original Price: 2.7% (was 3.4%)
  • Average Days on the Market: 54 (down 21.74%)
  • Total Sales: $366,155,110 (down 4.51%)
  • Average Sold Price: $404,591 (down 4.51%)
  • Real Buyers (Homes Sold): 907 (up 0.22%)
  • Pending Sales (Homes Under Contract): 1,497 (up 19.38%)

(Source: Bright MLS Copyright 2019 – Information deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed.)

While the numbers show that on average homes sold faster, and about the same number sold, looking more closely shows a different story.  Only 562 detached homes were sold, compared to 596 last year, a 7.38% reduction.  The increased sales have been townhomes and condos.

Also, because we are so active in the market, my colleagues and I have noticed a trend that hasn’t made headlines, and is not so obvious at first glance. You find these things out by talking to people active in the business. More contracts have been falling through. For a lot of people, this has made the moving process even more of an emotional roller coaster than it usually is!

In order to give the best advise to my clients, I looked over the numbers in more detail. In the past few months, there has been a growing gap between contracts and homes sold. In August, new pending sales rose sharply – 1,497 contracts pending, an overall increase of 19.38%. Yet, the number of homes sold was nearly flat compared to last August.

What this means for you, if you are planning a move, is that it is important to get professional advice and get ready for the market conditions that affect your particular type of property. It’s important to look beyond the averages and get into your specific part of the market. And, have a strategy to “bulletproof” your contract, to give yourself the best chance of getting from contract to closing.

If you or someone you know is looking to make a move, anywhere in the country, don’t hesitate to ask me for information.  I’d love to help.

As always, feel free to share this post with anyone who might be interested.

“Carlyn got us a quick sale above the asking price. She qualified prospects well, used a professional photographer for advertising photos, and provided expert advice during negotiations. Carlyn is what other Realtors aspire to be!”

“As first time home buyers, Carlyn Lowery was very attentive to our basic needs of walking us through each step of the home buying process from a novice standpoint. The long detailed list of items due at specific times from the start of the contract all the way through to the week of closing was greatly appreciated. It was great having an agent who took the time to clearly lay this all out for us. End result – a very smooth time at settlement. No surprises!”

quickly for a good price and protect our interests as sellers through the process.
