BS Stats

There are quite a few statistics that are important in buying and selling homes. But some of the others?… Not so much.

In this video, we highlight several popular stats that are complete baloney and some that really matter.

good morning oh he didn’t sit down yet sit down fast when you’re in the room with her I know well I’m ready to go I’m ready I’m I’m chop chop chop loaded for bear I’m loaded for bear chop chop chop let’s go let’s hit it yeah it hello this is Diana and Randle bro coming to you from Prescot Arizona we are your local husband and wife team realtor team here to help you and uh today we want to talk about I’m going to say c word stats yeah there you go one in particular I wanted to to mention today I’m kind of the numbers guy in our little Duo here uh some of you might get my uh my monthly uh uh Market updates if you’re not getting those you need to get those um subscribe yeah it’s good stuff it’ll it’ll it’ll put you ahead of 99% of the people are watching the uh watching the stats here in presc but there’s one stat that just irks me so I had to talk about it uhoh yeah and that is the sales to list price ratio so the idea behind the stat is if you’ve got a good Agent they get you your list price and if they get less than list price that’s not so good so a good agent would be one that has 100% you know meaning they always get the list price for you or 105% you know they actually get over list price that’s not right well here’s the thing that doesn’t happen if you want to get I can get you uh I can guarantee that I will get you above list price on your home I’m going to price it at $100 I was thinken to myself what what are you talking about there is no law there’s there’s no formal mechanism to set the price on a home yes and a lot of times people screw it up either too high too low uh they really don’t know what they’re doing and the list price is it’s just a number that somebody made up whether it’s the seller or the agent there’s no reason to believe that it’s a good number necessarily now in practice most of them are reasonable we’ve been seeing a lot of very unreasonable selling uh uh list prices because I think sellers are still spoiled from covid they think the world hasn’t changed they’re just you know living in their own little virtual world uh but this is something you need to be careful about if you’re going to sell your home and you have an agent that comes in and says I always get over list probably pricing the homes too low red flag red flag red flag this is not a stat to hang a hat on now if you want to look at the stat like when we are we have a buyer that’s coming in and we want to place uh place an offer make an offer on a home in a certain neighborhood I might look to see if the homes are coming in around list or they’re discounting just to give us some sense of how low we could go in I mean there are times when you might use it but people are using it as The Benchmark to to judge agents by and uh the ones that are going to do the best are the ones that are going to under underprice your home so a stat you need to be aware of also overpricing uh and I know some sellers are quite adamant I must have this price period yeah and I think it’s worth us well I’m going to give you a little example just because you have a view doesn’t mean the house is worth a million dollars particularly if it’s only 1,800 square feet and well it depends on the neighborhood I guess there are homes that are 1,800 square feet that might be worth more than I don’t know but a view does not constitute there’s a lot that goes into pricing it goes by your square footage it goes by the condition of the home just because you have an astonishing View and you have a shack that’s only 200 square feet does not mean you can command a million dollars so you need to be aware come on you know you got to have yeah the house down the street might have gone for over a million but it was also 3,200 square feet and you’re only 1,800 square footage matters folks it’s not all the view okay A View does not just to close the loop on views um typically in Prescot if there’s the same home home A and home B they’re exactly the same except one has a magnificent View and the other one doesn’t let’s say B’s the one with the view be will probably go for about $75,000 more than 75 maybe to 100 that’s it maybe to 100 now views were really going for a premium during covid because people were stuck at home and they had nothing to do but look out the window so uh you know views that were commanding big premiums but I find they’re back 100 really less than 100,000 now yeah it’s not yeah so you you have to be very careful if you don’t have a view don’t be expecting oh I’m going to get 900,000 I’m going to get 800,000 and your backyard backs up to a wall now we’re talking presc if you’re living in California or someplace like that that’s something different we’re talking in our Market okay so be very careful um some people are like but I have a magnificent View and I think my house is worth over a million if it’s only 15600 1,800 square feet no it isn’t you’re not going to get it you can’t command it um just because of the view so keep that in mind I mean that’s another you know um stat yeah stat stat yeah we have some more of these I like these I like the I like calling out yeah I like saying Bull and you know we try to uh help our Sellers and just give it to them straight do you want to sell or do you want to sit in the market and go stale yeah you know it’s we just know we run cops we don’t just pull a number yeah out of the air yeah we really look at each particular neighborhood the right price is important correct we’re not doing doing a comp from Prescot Lakes compared to a comp and and and pulling in hampa we are doing our comps we do right you I mean we we comp Apples to Apples we’re not doing apples and oranges and pretending you could get more we give it to you straight and uh we help you sell in in a in a pretty good time so anyway keep that in mind when you have all these crazy stats floating around we’re going to try to guide you and give it to you correctly and we do the math numbers don’t lie don’t they don’t lie and and more than that our approach to numbers is not to be Dazzle you with our Wizardry we want you to understand the numbers yes if we’re telling you the price is too high we’ll show you why we think the price is time in a way that you’re going to you’re going to be able to see it you know just from the analysis so that’s our approach so yeah so we’re here to help you and guide you and we hope that you follow our advice so it’s a pleasant and easy process for you when you’re not doing lot of hand ringing if it sits on the market too long we’re here to make this process

Video Transcript

good afternoon all my little friends out there my pickle peeps hello folks I am the pickle lady Diane bro with my sidekick Randall bro here that’s me uh we are husband and wife team here in Prescot uh Arizona here to help you find the perfect home in the perfect town I might add so we’re here to talk to you about something we call The Fringe The Fringe so we live personally in uh presc Lakes and there are some beautiful neighborhoods all around Prescot lakes that are not officially Under the Umbrella of Prescot Lakes but we call it the Fringe The Fringe or Prescot Lakes adjacent yes that’s the uh that’s the 20 Buck no that’s the expensive version of it The Fringe is kind of The Fringe on the edge so some people are like you know I like the Lakes but I don’t really care about all those HOAs I’m not going to play golf I’m not really interested so we can find you some beautiful neighborhoods next door uh in The Fringe areas or the Prescot Lakes adjacent area so don’t think there’s only Prescot Lakes there are many other beautiful neighborhoods here it’s a good area of town to be in because it’s close to it’s quiet but it’s also close to downtown and the uh the commercial areas so it’s very convenient very nice uh if Prescot Lakes is a destination a lot of people like Prescot Lakes they’re looking for Prescot Lakes um if you are a couple things you need to know if you are a golfer and you’re definitely going to sign up for a golf membership at presc Lakes then it doesn’t matter where you live you can live in The Fringe you can live anywhere in town and for just a little extra money you can get full access to everything that Prescot Lakes has you can join Prescot Lakes Golf yeah even if you don’t live in even if you don’t live in the it’s a little bit extra cost not that much more but you can buy a Golf Course membership golf membership not course but anyway you can buy a golf membership and add on a little bit extra and still have access to the restaurant and to the athletic center and the pools and all of that even if you live outside of Prescot lakes that is still an option for you it will cost you a little bit more money but if that’s you know not much it’s it’s still something that could work for you yeah so and then generally you’ll pay less money for your house because things in The Lakes go for a bit of a premium and chances are you won’t pay the high HOAs that you have to pay inside Prescot Lakes too right so if you’re definitely going to get a golf membership that’s an option obviously if you don’t care about any of the amenities in presc Lakes well obviously you goodbye forever goodbye forever you can live wherever you want that’s right if you aren’t going to get a golf membership you can get a social membership that’s like7 75 $80 a month $70 a month there you go it will give you access to to the restaurant events not the Athletic Club so you’re not going to get the whole club that’s right if that’s okay with you that’s fine but uh if you want that then you kind of have to and you’re not getting a golf membership you have to go inside and we have a lot of friends who don’t live in preset Lakes proper but they live in The Fringe in some other areas and theyve joined the golf and we see them just as often as if they lived here so if you find a home that’s not in Prescot lakes and you’re absolutely in love but you want some of the amenities it’s still open to you guys it’s not a a deal killer okay so also too I should mention uh there’s another area in town called hampa they have a club well it’s not tied to the Su uh to the subdivision anymore which is what I was going to say it’s called Capitol Canyon you can live anywhere you want and join Capitol Canyon that’s right so that’s another example there’s a lot of options you can live in The Fringe right outside you know the club would still be uh convenient for for you but you’re not going to pay the HOA fees and all that absolutely and then there’s also free public courses yes at Stone Ridge it’s a public course Antelope Hills so there’s a lot of options okay available to you so if you find that dream home and it’s not necessarily in one of these quote Golf Course communities you can still join even though it’s private you may pay a little bit extra but that’s still an option available to you whether it be Capitol Canyon or Prescot lakes or any of those so a lot of options and the Fring is good The Fringe is good don’t worry the pickle lady will go through all the options with you to narrow it down to what you will really make you happy yeah so we can explore all of those areas and show it to you until you find the right one and then you’re happy as a clam that’s what we’re here for people that’s what we’re here for that’s our tip of the day our tip of the day place to go is pickle 411.com that is our free information site whether you’re a buyer seller or somewhere in between there will be something there waiting for you that will Amaze the sound entertain and ason Aston overwhelmed persecute not persecute but you find absolutely free Absol absolutely free no charge to you charge at all just a charge to me even if you’re outside presc lights there will be no charge in my energy for our free information sir that’s right okay so we hope to see you soon we’d love to tour you of Prescot Lakes hampa as well as all of The Fringe in Prescot Lakes adjacent neighborhoods we’ve got it all we’re here to help you thank you for listening take care bye

Video Transcript

hello hello hello we’re gonna we’re gonna share a little personal story personal story today about Randall and I mostly about me mostly about him um are you gonna put your picture up from the airport that was so funny yeah I could do that that was fun I can do that make sure you put that up because all right so for exposition uh we’ve got these two crazy dogs uh they are half German shepherd and half Belgian Shepherd or malinoa if anybody knows anything about shepher melon was you appreciate the situation we’re in yeah they high energy does not do it justice we’ve had any number of dogs these are by far the most energetic and the sweetest and the sweet so sweet but super protective they are good guard dogs but the funny thing is um you know we realized after this was a midlife crisis decision maybe one dog would have been good what were we thinking at our age to handle two of these um but hey we’re committed um we’re making it work we do love them they’re a riot but anyway we take them to run because our yard isn’t big enough yeah every morning we take them out we we we were going pretty regularly to the dog park you’ve SE we’ve had videos on the dog and we have a good time we still go there we had a good time we still go there from time to time but our our good friends Skip and Kathy uh they found just an open field out by the airport yeah and so we’ve been taking them out there and just big Open Fields and they they just love to run run and beautiful and Skip and Kathy will meet us there a few times with their dog Ranger is his name our dogs are Frankie and Molly so Frankie and Molly go there three of them go crazy together that’s right so Randle goes out and and we let him run and they’re having a good time and we’re throwing the ball and you know like normal people do and then our dog saw a deer yeah the prong horn so I don’t know if they’re antalope or a type of type of deer they’re like dandal opes I I don’t so that was it they were like oh so boom off they go and they can run like the wind they can cover a mile in five five seconds oh yeah it’s unbelievable so anyway so off they go so Randall’s call them they’re not coming so then they don’t come back so then Randall decides I’m gonna go find him he starts walking he could grows over the first Hill so I’m waiting like 25 minutes I’m like hm nobody’s coming back so I cross the hill and then I find the dogs and I take them back to the car I’m like well I’ll call Randall and him found him let’s go home he left his phone in the car so then I start walking the field I put the dogs on a leash this time and I start walking the fields looking for them can’t find them I mean for miles and miles and miles he’s nowhere to be found so after another 20 minutes then I start getting worried and I start thinking did he trip did he fall did he have a heart attack is he laying out in a field somewhere and I can’t see him so I called two good friends Skip and Randy again Randy Al who were kind enough to fly over there and see if they can walk the field too in the meantime another friend got wind they leave their golf game they come over and they’re about to walk the field too so this the purpose of the story is not only is it amusing that Randall was he keeps insisting he was not lost I was not lost I was not lost I knew where I was I knew how to get back I was just taking a long time because he was way there yeah the dogs managed a lot of Hills so every time you go up a hill there’s another Hill that you see that they might be hiding behind so he kept Crossing so I kept Crossing Hills until I ran out of Hills yeah I didn’t know that she already they snuck around so in the meantime we’ve got the posi out to look for him uh and then after 40 minutes we still couldn’t find him so they couldn’t find him either so I call the police so this is a shout out to first of all good friends good friends we have never by by the way all of these friends we met in preset we didn’t know any of these people so this is a shout out to Dear dearest friends if you were looking to move here and you’re scared like I don’t know anybody neither did we yeah but I will tell you these are probably some of the best friends we’ve ever had definitely some of the best um they people here in Prescot they just have your back yeah they do I mean and I don’t know if it’s because everybody’s retired but I mean the call went out everybody showed up to walk the Hills was looking for this idiot um and then the police came and the three of them came and they had Hightech you know binoculars and we found him they could spot him way off let’s just say uh as one of our friends said damn Randall you almost made it to Jerome and if you live here you know where Jerome is I did I kept walking until there were no more Hills and that’s a pretty long walk I probably walked U I’d say a couple miles so anyway it it made me feel good and I I want to give a shout out to the police too they were so professional they came out right away um they they have their own process because a lot of people get lost hiking and stuff so they have their own process they immediately got into it and we all start searching and looking and then we see him and then anyway they found him and Randall came walking back took a long time because he has a New Orleans stroll if you’re from New Orleans you know what that means they don’t walk fast you don’t walk fast when it’s humid and I’m like Rand oh God everybody’s waiting for you hustle but anyway um so we had a good laugh that day yeah we took everybody to lunch so we took everybody to lunch because it really honestly really touched our heart how our friends immediately came uh rallied around us went to help us went to find the police rallied came out right away um you just don’t see it that often anymore but that’s small town living folks we look out for each other and we care about each other and of course now we tease him unmercifully which is part of friendship as well yes they call me the wanderer now he’s Randall The Wanderer rall The Wanderer I have not had such a good laugh in all so we went we went to this

Dead Bodies

Arizona laws regarding the disclosure of deaths or other unpleasant past events in a home’s history can differ from those of other states. Check out today’s video for a rundown of what’s required, what’s not, and how to handle it as either a buyer or a seller.

Video Transcript

good midday to you good midday M Lady it’s the middle of the day yes it is well sometimes I get I get a little Punchy so good midday to all of my friends out there I hope pickle peeps pickle peeps we’re happy to be here today this is Diana Randle bro coming to you live from Prescot Arizona yes it is mile high city mile high city woohoo here to talk to you about dead bodies yeah nothing nothing more fun to talk about dead bodies should have wait for Halloween I guess yeah that would have been a better time not the best timing but dead bodies are there’s always stuff happening so uh you know people die and uh sometimes they die in houses and um so that’s a thing so uh different states have different rules absolutely different laws different laws in Arizona if someone dies in a home correct you do not have to divulge that we do not so also you should know suicides um murders uh violent crimes um we are not um by law we are not required to divulge that now if we are told that and a buyer asks asks us at that point we can say I did hear a b and c yes uh but right off the bat it’s not written in a document I know the state of California does require yes that all buyers be told if there was a suicide a murder or a death uh Arizona is not that way we don’t have to say right off the bat uh as a seller you don’t have to write it in a document and divulge anything if you share that with us and we have a buyer and they ask us at that point we are allowed to yeah we should tell them yeah we should tell you uh you don’t have to tell us as a seller you do not have to tell us and you do not have to put it in the seller’s disclosure that is not a disclosable item because it has nothing to do with the home absolutely so you should know every state has different laws yes you know if you were wondering if there was a murder or anything there are websites that you can that we can guide you to uh if you wanted to check crime rates if you wanted to check anything um but we uh there’s a lot of things that we as Realtors are required uh to not share upfront yeah um you have your own ways we can say we can guide you and say hey go check out the crime rate here here’s a great website for you to do that yes so I think some people get annoyed they come in like what do you mean you can’t it’s not me I don’t make of the rules yeah we don’t make of the rules uh but we can you know there can be serious violations yeah and uh if you are a buyer and the idea of buying a home in which someone died is U something you don’t want to look at uh you may have you know there are religious tabos on that I know absolutely Native American certain Native American tribes I’m not sure that’s all of them but uh that’s and I think certain Christian and Jewish sex um the same thing they they they that that’s not allowed it’s unclean or whatever it is so if you fall into one of those categories and that’s important to you make sure you tell us uh because the sellers will not have to divulge that we have to research that for correct and we’re happy to do that um and a lot of times we are not told so we truly do not have the answer for you yeah um and we don’t want you to think we’re trying to hide anything we just don’t know um and so we’re not allowed to ask and you know and they are not required to divulge unless they want to yeah yeah so keep all of that in mind it’s not us being difficult or not trying to share or trying to hide something we’re not it’s just what we have by the rules by the rules and we could be heavily fined and found in violation if we do otherwise yeah so uh Realtors are kind of held to a different uh code of ethics we have certain rules and regulations that we have to follow it’s not just us saying yeah most of them are intuitive uh this is one where you may not think that’s intuitive right and uh you may just come from a place where that’s divulged that’s not here a lot of yeah a lot of our californ like well that’s what we do in California and I know that but not in Arizona so anyway we just wanted to share that with you um we’re happy to get somebody to come Sage your house we’ve done that yeah we have done that yeah we’re full service people we are full service so if something has occurred and you have discovered it and you want to have we have people to come help sage and make it a a all good energy again absolutely
