BREAKING NEWS: 📰

Two weeks after Keller Williams’ annual Family Reunion conference, Marc King has stepped down as the Texas-based brokerage’s president, effective immediately.

https://www.inman.com/2024/03/11/marc-king-steps-down-as-president-of-keller-williams/

Inman learned of the news Monday afternoon through an internal email that was sent to the company’s more than 180,000 agents. In the email, King said it was time to focus on his family and personal life, which suffered as he helped guide Keller Williams through an especially tough housing market.

King, who stepped up to the helm in 2021 after more than two decades as a divisional leader and operating principal of multiple market centers, said he will continue to serve the company as an advisor and focus on bolstering the franchisor’s growing education empire with Coursera and Kaplan.

“Today is bittersweet for me at KWRI, and I have chosen to transition into a different role,” he said. “I am excited about the future. I am not going anywhere. I will be doing what I am most passionate about and love.”

If you were counting on the DC Government Assistance, you're out of luck! For now!

D.C. Runs Out Of First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Funds Four Months Into Fiscal Year "There's more demand for this program than there is money in the pot, and we could double it, and that would still be the case," Robert White says.

I just put together this tour and would love to get your thoughts on it!

6445 Luzon Ave NW #214 Sunny Comfortable and affordable living in DC? Who knew? Tax advantages to owning a co-op are unique. The purchase price and the underlying mortgage situations might be confusing unless you've delved into the Co-op world significantly. But the opportunities for affordable living in a well cared for....

Buyers are always responsible for paying their agent’s service costs! It’s awesome when a seller is willing to reimburse those expenses to the buyer.
Sellers are wise to offer a reimbursement of that cost, but it’s always a negotiable provision .
Buyers need transaction representation just as much as sellers do. Don’t let the recent media hype, confuse that fact.

Im seeing the cash buyers sn**ch up properties left and right which is bad news for affordable housing advocates

First-time buyers were responsible for 27% of sales in September; Individual investors purchased 18% of homes; All-cash sales accounted for 29% of transactions; Distressed sales represented 1% of sales; Properties typically remained on the market for 21 days.

It's true!

1.Real estate prices in the DMV out of reach for many.
2. Interest rates are higher than than they’ve been for years(but that’s temporary).,
3. Supply of quality available to buyers is insanely sparse.
***BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION.***
The purchase of discounted homes in distressed material condition and using a conventional or FHA203K purchase/Renovation loan to make the property your own perfect oasis.
Once you’ve gut renovated these properties you’ll get you ideal home.
But you need a few things to make this all work.
1. Time- the process can take 60-120 days after settlement.
2. Healthy cash reserve to cover closing costs, down payment, a place to live while the work progresses.
3. Reputable General contractors with experience, licenses, liability insurance, working capital to cover the costs between funding payouts.
4. Mortgage lenders who do this regularly not as a side gig!
5. Competent Real Estate Agents/Brokers with experience who understand the in’s and outs.
6. Sellers who have the patience to make it all work.

More hard to hear news on the market dynamics today... This data further entrenches the facts we've known for some time. The Supply and Demand that drives our market shows no signs of changing anytime soon. Very low supply of homes and high demand of buyers on the market means home prices are on track to continue escalating into the foreseeable future. All the credible facts, debunk the fringe extremists who are falsely telling people to "wait for the crash". It simply isn't a thing.

Housing Affordability Worsens in Q3 2023 Housing affordability worsened in Q3 2023 due to rising mortgage rates—which have now surpassed 7%—and high home prices, along with

The regional status report of sales, contracts, listings, and prices shows that nothing is changing in any earth shattering way. Supply is still low, new listings only negligibly nudged, new contracts are actually down (indicating slight dip in buyer demand), but prices are still climbing at a steady pace.
The low jobless numbers, and overall economic indicators all show a strong market with the exception that inflation is still higher than desired but still slowing down.
Bottom line: Don't expect anything to change into the foreseeable future. There is zero evidence of a "market crash", and lots of evidence to support a steady market moving forward. Individual neighborhoods WILL vary!

Yikes!!!
This is a hospital trip and a lawsuit waiting to happen!
