&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;If you’re selling in Northern Idaho, there are four specific phrases to avoid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b id="docs-internal-guid-ec58d7b4-0f26-72e3-2e83-08036061b142" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;“Our house is in perfection condition.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; Most likely, even if it’s a new construction property, it isn’t! Something will probably be off, so you’re better off not mentioning the condition right away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;“I’ve always wanted to fix or renovate.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;This might be the bathroom or the kitchen. However, saying this tells a seller you haven’t prioritized fixing up or renovating. It doesn’t send a good message.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

Understand you won’t always earn the return on these investments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

It sounds like you won’t negotiate. If you’re working with a Realtor, you shouldn’t have to worry about earning top dollar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;If you’re thinking about buying or selling in the surrounding area, we’d be happy to help.

If you have any questions for us, or want to make an appointment with us, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>real,estate,for,sale,real,estate,agents,northern,idaho,real,estate,agents,coeur,d,alene,real,estate,buying,a,house,home,buying,tips,selling,a,house,home,selling,tips,property,search,mls,idaho,mls,home,value,report,pehr,black</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>The 2016 Market in Northern Idaho</title><link>http://pehrblack.blogspot.com/2016/01/northern-idaho-real-estate-market.html</link><category>Northern Idaho Real Estate Market Update</category><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jan 2016 11:32:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680907318640234408.post-6312732246290526680</guid><description>&lt;div class="embed-container"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;Today, I've got three short and simple tips for home sellers in our area:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;

&lt;li style="list-style: outside none decimal; margin: 8px 0px 8px 20px;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Reduce clutter in your house.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Make sure everything you don’t need is in storage. For instance, family trinkets or photos should already be packed away in preparation to move.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: outside none decimal; margin: 8px 0px 8px 20px;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;

Prospective buyers appreciate your time dedicated to cleaning, especially during open houses and tours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: outside none decimal; margin: 8px 0px 8px 20px;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;

Clean the windows to maximize your home’s natural light. This allows buyers to picture themselves living in your home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Good morning everybody, and welcome back to my video blog. Today I want to talk about what's going on in the market of $150,000-$250,000 homes. &lt;b&gt;We've got very low inventory and because of that we are creating bidding wars for a lot of our listings.&lt;/b&gt; Bidding wars are essentially when more than one person wants to buy a property. Most times it ends up going to the highest and best offer. &lt;b&gt;However, the highest offer and the best offer are not mutually exclusive.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Hey everyone, we just wanted to give you a quick update today on the first quarter of the year. &lt;b&gt;So far, 2015 has gotten off to a great start, and we had the best first quarter we have had in 10 years.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Home prices have appreciated by about 4 or 5% each year over the last few years, making it a great time to be a buyer or a seller.&lt;/b&gt; With low inventory and low interest rates, we are seeing both buyers and sellers benefit in our neutral, healthy market. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buyers are finding that now is a great time to pull the trigger due to historically low interest rates.

Hey everyone, we just wanted to give you a quick update today on the first quarter of the year. So far, 2015 has gotten off to a great start, and we had the best first quarter we have had in 10 years. Home prices have appreciated by about 4 or 5% each year over the last few years, making it a great time to be a buyer or a seller. With low inventory and low interest rates, we are seeing both buyers and sellers benefit in our neutral, healthy market. Buyers are finding that now is a great time to pull the trigger due to historically low interest rates. Sellers know that more people are out looking for homes, and are entering the market in greater numbers. We have helped a lot of happy customers so far in 2015, and hope we can do the same for you.

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Today I just want to discuss with you some tips on how you can get more money for your home sale in a shorter period of time. That's the goal of all home sellers, right? The process is fairly simple. &lt;b&gt;What you need to do is de-clutter, get personal items out, and get ready for a professional photographer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional photography is of the utmost importance when selling your home. It makes the house look brand-new, big, wide, clean, and bright. Photography highlights the best parts of your home, and &lt;b&gt;really impresses buyers for the first showing.&lt;/b&gt; It used to be that the first showing was always at the open house, but that's not the case today. The first showing now takes place online, and &lt;b&gt;if you don't have professional photography, your home won't stand out at all to prospective buyers.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when you are getting ready to put your home on the market, simple things like taking pictures off the fridge, packing up personal items, and hiring a professional photographer are all great ideas. If you want to talk about getting your home sold faster and for more money, or if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or send us a quick email. We look forward to hearing from you!&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;As we approach the end of the summer, we thought now would be a great time to give you an update on the latest real estate market conditions here in northern Idaho. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a 2nd great year in a row and sold 14% more homes this year than we did last year. &lt;b&gt;Another positive sign for us is in our market values&lt;/b&gt;. They are up 17% from the last two years in many of the neighborhood markets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While things have been a little slow the last few weeks, that is to be expected around this time of year when people are on vacation and enjoying fun summer activities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Things will begin to pick up soon, however&lt;/b&gt;. The 4th quarter of the year has been a very strong quarter for us the last 10 years, usually better than the first 2 quarters of the year. &lt;b&gt;There's never really a bad time to sell in this market, it's all about when you are ready.&lt;/b&gt; We are seeing a lot of really exciting things right now, including bidding wars and full-priced offers on homes that are prepared and priced properly. It's fairly easy to get more money in a shorter time in this market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any questions about the market, or are looking to buy or sell real estate in the area, please let us know.

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Good morning! Today I wanted to go over the three most important things you must do to prepare your home for sale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;De-clutter&lt;/b&gt;. We all have a lot of it and I just went through it myself. The best thing to do is move your clutter to your garage &lt;/span&gt;or store unit. Once the clutter has been removed, you will find carpet stains that need to be cleaned and other areas that may need attention. This does not cost any money and will only take your time and effort. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Detailing&lt;/b&gt;. Take care of any cleaning or painting that needs to be done; you want to make your home bright, clean and neutral. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; Fix anything that is broken&lt;/b&gt;. If you have a leaky faucet, running toilet or dead light bulbs, they need to be addressed. This also doesn’t cost a lot of money and you want the property to be functioning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bottom line is that we want to be sure that when we list your home, we have an open, bright, clean and functional property. This will allow me to attain the highest amount of money in the shortest amount of time. These are the easiest, cheapest and most effective tips for preparing your home for the market and getting it sold!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Welcome back to my video blog where I'll be talking today about why now is a great time to market and sell your home in northern Idaho.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;2013 proved to be the best year since 2005, and also the 2nd best year in the history of northern Idaho. 2,800 homes were sold this year as opposed to 2,200 last year.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;We trail the California market by about 18 months, and the last year and a half they've been red-hot. I foresee them having a huge positive impact on our market. Also, the Seattle market has seen a surge recently, and I'm expecting some retirees from there to move into our area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently we're seeing low inventory and less short sales. This makes for a great time to put your home on the market! Every spring and summer we see 5-6 times the amount of listings as compared to the winter months. However, we do not get 5-6 times the buyers every spring and summer. This means that you need to stay ahead of the competition, so it just makes a lot more sense to get going right now rather than in a saturated spring/summer market. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be glad to answer any of your questions or assist you in selling your home. Drop me a line at &lt;a href="http://(208) 818-7703"&gt;(208) 818-7703&lt;/a&gt; or email me at &lt;a href="mailto:pehrblack@cbidaho.com"&gt;pehrblack@cbidaho.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;There are many great Northern Idaho area homes for sale. &lt;a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.pehrblack.com/listings/search/" href="http://www.pehrblack.com/listings/search/"&gt;Click here to perform full home search&lt;/a&gt;, or if you're thinking of selling your home, &lt;a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.pehrblack.com/sellers/" href="http://www.pehrblack.com/sellers/"&gt;click here for a FREE Home Price Evaluation&lt;/a&gt;
 so you know what buyers will pay for your home in today's market. You 
may also call me at (208) 818-7703 for a FREE home buying or selling 
consultation to answer any of your real estate questions.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;4 things every buyer must do before they begin looking for a home&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The four most important things a buyer needs to before they start looking for a home are very simple. &lt;b&gt;The first step is becoming preapproved from a local lender&lt;/b&gt;. The reason why I suggest a local lender is because most of the other real estate agents know the local banks. If they know a local lender is willing to finance, it gives the homeowner and other agent peace of mind. Once you’ve been preapproved, we will know where you can go in at.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The second step a buyer needs to do is get their finances in order&lt;/b&gt;. Be sure you have your tax returns, bank statements etc. in order. &lt;b&gt;Third, save some money have a budget prepared&lt;/b&gt;. The home buying process is exciting and you will be eager to spend money on paint and carpet. Have the money saved so you can do it right away. &lt;b&gt;Finally, enjoy the process&lt;/b&gt;! Have an open mind; it’s truly fun buying a property and having your dreams come true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that none of these steps cost any money and are very easy. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Pehr out!&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
