Our Great Strategy for Selling Your Home


We use the latest trends and technology to get your home sold.

“What are you going to do to attract buyers to my home?” This is an excellent question that we get often. There is the way people used to do it, and then there's the way things need to be done today. In the past, people could put a sign in the yard, put their home on the MLS, and then just pray that a buyer would put in an offer. However, things have changed today. So what is critical now to attract buyers to your home? My answer to that is preparation, price, and promotion—preparation of the home, a pricing strategy, and promoting the home. 


This is where we use the marketing strategy we designed to attract the biggest number of buyers. They’re everywhere if you know where to look and how to find them. According to the National Association of Realtors, over 95% of buyers start their search online. Therefore, it is very important to have an aggressive marketing strategy that takes into account online, social media, and traditional marketing. 

 

"Preparation, price, and promotion are critical for attracting buyers to your home."


Our marketing plan has scheduled activities such as Facebook marketing, posting on YouTube, marketing on Google search, and much more. Not to mention we have over 16,000 people in our database, and with the push of a button, your home is blasted out to all those people. All of these tools ensure your home gets seen by the most potential buyers currently in the marketplace.


If you are interested in a detailed marketing plan specific to your home, I'd be happy to send it to you. If you have any questions about this topic or real estate in general, call or email me anytime. I am happy to be your resource for all of your real estate needs.

Flagstaff AZ Real Estate Market Update- January 2023

Flagstaff AZ Real Estate Market Data Provided by The Broaddus Properties Group Brokered by eXp / by Joselyn Uy

January 2023 Flagstaff Market Report

 

January 2023 Flagstaff Home Sales Plunge, Prices Fall 2.5%

 

With mortgage rates hovering around 7% from mid-October through mid-November, January’s extremely low sales volume came as no surprise. Here's our latest update. 

 

FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES

US Existing-Home Sales Descended 0.7% from December 2022 and 36.9% from the previous year while Greater Flagstaff's housing market plunged 44.9% from the previous month and 55.5% from January 2022. This is the lowest January sales in a decade.   

Data from the Northern Arizona MLS show that only ninety-eight new homes were on the market last month, 28.5% lower than last year. 

 

January 2023 Flagstaff Home Sales By Type

 

"Home sales are bottoming out...with lower-priced regions witnessing modest growth and more expensive regions experiencing declines. Inventory remains low, but buyers are beginning to have better negotiating power. Homes sitting on the market for more than 60 days can be purchased for around 10% less than the original list price," said National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.

In January, the Broaddus Properties Group Brokered by eXp listed and sold three Flagstaff and Sedona homes valued at $2.1 Million+. Last year we helped buy and sell five homes in Flagstaff & Sedona worth $4.7 Million+.

 

FLAGSTAFF MEDIAN HOME PRICE

Flagstaff Median Home Price & DOM January 2023

"The median list-to-sales ratio for this area is 97.9%." List to Sales Ratio is the percentage of the list price that the buyer paid for the property. 

The increase in interest rates and decrease in buyer demand impacted home prices. Home price growth dropped for the second month in a row from a year-over-year perspective. Flagstaff's January median sold price dropped 2.5% year over year to $672,000 from last year's high of$689,000.

Homes are taking longer to sell. In January homes spent a median of 80 days on the market, which is 28 days longer than last year and 11 days longer than last month.

JANUARY 2023 Flagstaff Market Watch Summary

2023 Flagstaff Real Estate Market Watch Total Home Sales - 49 homes, down 55.5% vs January 2022.

Median Sale Price - $672,000, down 2.5% vs January 2022

Mortgage rates - At the beginning of the month, the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rate was around 6%.  Now it's closer to 7% at 6.85 as of February 21 

Longest days on market (SF): 264 days This six-bedroom 4,035 sqft home sits on 4.37 acres in the Forest Survey neighborhood and boasts stunning views of the San Francisco Peaks

CDOM The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property must be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if a different agent lists it. We report the average days on the market for properties sold based on CDOM.

The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced. 

 

FLAGSTAFF LUXURY HOME SALES

The luxury benchmark price for Flagstaff single-family homes is $975,000, set by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.  LUXURY BENCHMARK PRICE is the price point that marks the transition from traditional homes to luxury homes.

Flagstaff Home Seller Advice

If you want to take advantage of this sweet spot, spring could be your shot. The housing market needs more homes for sale to meet the demand of today’s buyers. If you’ve thought about selling, let’s connect today.

  • This month’s report displays the market statistics for North America AND Flagstaff month over month as well as the 13-month trend.
  • In this month’s report we review why understanding real estate cycles are important for buyers and sellers especially as we transition from a market set for a correction, and what this truly means.
  • We discover why the predictability of real estate cycles can help understand cyclical trends, while appreciating that there will always be variables that will impact the speed of change and strength of each cycle.
  • We research why 2023 is expected to return to a more normalized market with short- term cycles seeing typical ebbs and flows with respect to buying and selling trends.
  • How, even though we have moved in the long-term cycle from a Peak Phase to a Recession Phase, the expectations for 2023 are not likely to see a ‘crash’ but instead a ‘correction’ in the level of sales activity and pricing.
  • We discover the exceptions in this Recession Phase that are preventing a downturn in the market and the factors that could influence opportunities in the current market.
  • We reveal the contradictions in today’s market that are manifest in local markets experiencing very different results with respect to demand and price.
  • Equally, we understand how differing demographic demand for location, property type and pricing are expected to impact both choice and decisions in 2023.
  • Finally, we explore what we can expect, all present conditions remaining constant, in 2023 with respect to pricing, inventory, sales and why ‘value for money’ will become an important part of the decision-making process again.

Have Excellent Showings With These 10 Tips


These 10 tips will improve your showings and help your selling process.

Today I’m continuing my series on selling a home by going over my 10 tips for a successful home showing: 

1. Clean your home thoroughly. Have the carpets professionally cleaned, mop and vacuum the hardwood floors, clean the grout if there’s tile, clean the windows, polish the appliances, and make sure your bathrooms are very clean. This can be done by a good housekeeper. 

2. Depersonalize and declutter. If possible, rent a storage area to put some of your items, or you can use your garage as long as you store things neatly. Also, remove family photos and other knickknack items. 

3. Rearrange the furniture as needed. Remove furniture to make the rooms bigger and put pieces in any empty rooms. Make sure the pieces that you keep in rooms are helping the situation. 

"Think about which items are truly helping the home."

4. Work on your curb appeal. Don't forget that the outside of your home will make or break the first impression for the buyer. Tasks for this change depending on the season, but some common tasks would be planting flowers, mowing the lawn, and pulling weeds. 

5. Keep the storage spaces tidy. For example, when buyers open your pantry, they shouldn’t see one that’s full and messy. The closets, pantry, and garage should be tidy and look inviting. 

6. Highlight the best features of your home. Identify the most attractive things about your home and beautify them. For example, if you have beautiful hardwood floors, make sure your rugs aren’t covering them. Also, don’t hide your stainless steel appliances with magnets and towels. 

7. Secure your belongings. I've never heard of anything happening, but it's always safe to keep personal things like important paperwork and jewelry secure during showings. 

8. Have a plan for pets and kids. Know where your kids and pets can go when there's a showing. You want the buyers’ experience to be great, so when there's a dog barking in the garage, their first impression will not be pleasant. 

9. Set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature. If tours are happening while you're at work and you usually turn the heat off, make sure to leave it on so that buyers will be comfortable when they're touring your home. Then in the summertime, make sure the air conditioner is on and it's comfortable in your home. 

10. Create an inviting atmosphere. Do things like play music, leave the lights on, keep the blinds open, and leave some refreshments out. Also, throw the trash away when they leave. 

Those are my tips and tricks for when your home is being shown. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me! I'm happy to help anytime.

Top 6 Home Design Trends To Watch in 2023

Kelly Broaddus |  eXp Realty | 888.446.5602 | Contact Kelly

Top 6 Home Design Trends To Watch in 2023

 

Over the past few years, many of us have spent extra time at home—and that means we appreciate the personal design touches that make a house cozy and comfortable more than ever. Some of us have adapted our dwellings in new ways, from creating functional home offices to upgrading the appliances we use most.

 

But while it’s important to make your home your own, it’s also smart to think about the long-term impact your renovations could have on their value. Choosing highly personalized fixtures and finishes can make it harder for future homebuyers to envision themselves in the space. Even if you don’t plan to sell your home soon, investing in popular design choices that are likely to stand the test of time will make things easier down the road.

 

And if you’re in the market for a new home, it’s wise to keep an eye out for features that might need to be updated soon so you can factor renovation costs into your budget.

 

We’ve rounded up six trends that we think will influence interior design in 2023, as well as ideas for how you might incorporate them in your Northern Arizona home. Remember, before taking action, it’s always wise to consult with a real estate professional to understand how specific updates and upgrades will affect your property’s value in your local market.

 

 

  1. Separate Kitchen, Dining and Living Areas

 

For years, home design has been dominated by open-concept floor plans, particularly for kitchen, dining, and living areas. However, as the pandemic forced families to work and study from home, many struggled to find the privacy and separation they needed. As a result, designers report that more families are choosing to bring back kitchen and dining room walls to break up the space and create quieter areas.1

 

That doesn’t mean that we’re returning to an era of dark and cramped spaces, however. Even as walls make a return, it’s important to take care to retain a sense of flow and openness within the home and to prioritize natural light.

 

If you’re buying or building a new home, consider how you will use the space and whether or not an open floor plan will suit your needs. If you already live in a home with an open floor plan and it isn’t working for you, try rearranging furniture and strategically placing pieces like bookshelves, room dividers, or rugs to create distinct areas within the home and reduce noise.

 

 

 

  1. Nature-Inspired Design

 

In the past few years, we’ve seen the “biophilia” trend explode, and there are no signs that it will be any less popular in 2023.2 This trend is all about bringing the outside in by adding natural touches throughout your home.

 

This year, design experts predict that natural, sustainable materials like bamboo, cork, and live-edge wood will lend character without being overwhelming. Wooden kitchen cabinets and islands will become more common in 2023, with white oak and walnut among the most popular choices.3,4 Wood will also appear in bathroom vanities and shelving and furniture throughout the home.

 

Colors inspired by nature (think mossy greens and desert tones) will also play into this trend and will blend seamlessly with wood tones. We’re also seeing a return to natural stone countertop materials like quartzite, marble, dark leathered granite, and soapstone.4,5

 

If you’re planning to add new shelving or redo your kitchen, consider turning to these materials to embrace the biophilic look. Or, incorporate elements of the trend by choosing nature-inspired paint colors and adding to your houseplant collection.

  1. Lighting as a Design Feature

 

Spending more time at home has shown us the importance of having the right lighting for specific tasks and times of the day. As a result, many homeowners are reconsidering the ways they light their homes and using light fixtures to change the usability and mood of their spaces.5

 

In particular, homeowners are rejecting bright, flat overhead lighting and replacing it with lamps and task-specific options. A layered approach to lighting—such as using a combination of under-cabinet, task, and ambient lighting in a kitchen—enables homeowners to tweak the level of light they’re using based on the time of day and what they are doing.

 

In 2023, we expect to see more statement chandeliers, pendants, and wall sconces in a variety of shapes and materials.6 Thinking about switching up the lighting in your home? Start by adding floor or table lamps and swapping out fixtures before you invest in rewiring your space. Take note of what works and what doesn’t and watch how the light in your home changes throughout the day. You can then use that information to make lighting decisions that require a bigger investment.

 

 

 

  1. More Vibrant Color Palettes

 

After the long dominance of whites and grays, more vibrant colors are coming back as a way to add character and dimension to homes.

 

This year, warm and earthy neutrals, jewel tones, and shades of red and pink are particularly popular.7,8 If your style tends toward the subtle, consider options like light, calming greens, blues, and pastels.

 

Major paint brands have responded to these homeowner preferences with their newest releases. Benjamin Moore’s 2023 color of the year, Raspberry Blush, is a lively shade of pinkish coral, while Sherwin William is embracing warm neutrals with Redend Point, a blushing beige.9,10 Behr’s choice of the year, Blank Canvas, is a creamy off-white that's a warmer version of the stark whites that have been trending over the past few years.11

 

If you’re planning to put your home on the market soon, it’s better to play on the safer side and avoid extremely bold or bright color choices when it comes to paint or fixed finishes like tile and countertops. Instead, try incorporating pops of color through throw pillows, art, and accessories.

 

 

 

  1. Curved Furniture and Architectural Accents

 

Goodbye, sharp corners. In 2023, arches and curves lend a sleek feel that draws on classical design and retro trends while remaining modern.5,8 Rounded corners feel more relaxed and natural than sharp edges, lending more of a sense of flow and comfort to a home.

 

If you want to incorporate the trend into your new build or remodeling plans, curved kitchen islands and bars and arched alcoves are all good options—or you can take it a step further with arched windows and doorways. You can also carry this trend through to your light fixtures by incorporating a bubble chandelier or globe pendants.

 

It’s easy to embrace this look without renovations, too. Look for a softer feel in furniture, with sofas, chairs, and tables that showcase curved edges. Or, break up your space with an arched folding screen and a circular rug.

 

 

 

  1. Art Deco Revival

 

Art Deco, the architecture and design style that took hold in the 1920s and ’30s, is enjoying a resurgence.12

 

As a style, Art Deco is marked by bold geometry, textures, and colors, as well as an emphasis on art. But the 2023 interpretation of this style is likely to be a bit less splashy than its historical roots. Designers predict that instead of incorporating all of the elements of the style, which could feel overwhelming, homeowners will pick bursts of color or bold accessories to bring some whimsy to their space.

 

Keep an eye out for vintage mirrors, lamps, or vases that bring a touch of Art Deco glam to your home, or embrace bold colors and fabrics like velvet. Choose pillows and throw blankets in bright colors and geometric patterns to nod to the look without diving in all the way.

December 2022 Flagstaff Market Report

 

2022 Had the Slowest December Flagstaff Home Sales in A Decade, Expect Sales to Pick Up Soon

 

The Flagstaff housing market is on a seasonal decline as buyers and sellers pulled back to focus their time and energy on the holidays. Here's our latest update.  

 

FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES

US Existing-Home Sales Receded 1.5% in December vs November while Greater Flagstaff's housing market dropped 18% according to data provided by the Northern Arizona MLS. This year we saw a whooping 37.1% drop in home sales from December last year, and new listings dropped even further – to 37%, the lowest of the year. With only eighty-eight homes sold, this is the lowest December sales in 10 years. 

 

Home Sales by Type

December 2022 Flagstaff Home Sales by Type

 

All property types of residential sales dipped VS the same month in 2021. Demand for homes is lower than last year, as indicated by the year-over-year decrease in closings. 

 

Flagstaff Home Sales per Quarter

2022 Flagstaff Home Sales per Quarter

 

There was a total of 1571 sales which is 22% lower than last year. The highest was in 2020 with 2,240 residential housing units sold. The real estate market slowed down throughout 2022 creating more opportunities for homebuyers, in stark reversal of the frenzied seller’s market of the previous year. 

 

"December was another difficult month for buyers, who continue to face limited inventory and high mortgage rates. However, expect sales to pick up again soon since mortgage rates have markedly declined after peaking late last year," said National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.

 

In the month of December, the Broaddus Properties Group Brokered by eXp listed and sold four Flagstaff homes valued at over $1.9 Million+. Last year we helped buy and nine homes in Flagstaff worth $5.1 Million+

 

FLAGSTAFF MEDIAN HOME PRICE

Flagstaff Median Home Price & DOM December 2023

"The median list-to-sales ratio for this area is 99.0%." List to Sales Ratio is the percentage of the list price that the buyer paid for the property. 

The increase in interest rates and decrease in buyer demand impacted home prices. Home price growth dropped for the first time from a year-over-year perspective. Flagstaff's December median sold price dropped 5.7% year over year to $650,000 from last year's high of$689,000.

Homes are taking longer to sell. In December, homes spent a median of 69 days on the market, which is 17 days longer than last year but 4 days faster than last month.

DECEMBER 2022 Flagstaff Market Watch Summary

2023 Flagstaff Real Estate Market Watch Total Home Sales - 88 homes, down 37.1% vs December 2021.

Median Sale Price - $650,000, down 5.7% vs December 2021

Mortgage rates - The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate averaged 6.15% in the week ending January 19, the lowest level since September. A year ago, rates were 3.56%.

Longest days on market (SF): 486 days This is a new construction luxury home with four bedrooms sitting on a beautiful cul de sac lot, BACKING NATIONAL FOREST in Slayton Ranch Estates.

CDOM The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property must be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if a different agent lists it. We report the average days on the market for properties sold based on CDOM.

The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced. 

 

FLAGSTAFF LUXURY HOME SALES

The luxury benchmark price for Flagstaff single-family homes is $975,000, set by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.  LUXURY BENCHMARK PRICE is the price point that marks the transition from traditional homes to luxury homes.

Flagstaff Home Seller Advice 

If you’re thinking about selling your house, recent headlines about home prices falling month-over-month may have you second guessing your decision—but perspective matters.

While home prices are down slightly month-over-month in some markets, home values are still up almost 10% nationally on a year-over-year basis. A nearly 10% gain is still dramatic compared to the more normal level of appreciation, which is 3-4%.
