Here is a sample monthly, personalized “Market Overview” message. For best results, make it sound like you are leaving a personal message on their voice mail.

“Hi, this is Jane Realtor. I was calling to give you a quick market update on your neighborhood, but since you’re away, I’ll just leave some interesting information on your voice mail. A lot of neighbors like to know what’s happening in the market that affects the value of their home-that’s the reason for my message. There are currently 23 homes for sale in [area]. We’ve added 8 listings in the past 30 days, and 11 homes sold. Overall, we’re experiencing a “sellers” market and I believe the moderate level of interest rates has created a small burst of activity. The average market time for homes listed for sale dropped from 62 days down to 57-further indicating a stronger seller’s market, and the ratio of listed price to sales price has improved (in other words, homes are being discounted less off their asking price). Again, everything points to a stronger and stronger seller’s market. If you’d like to know more about the neighborhood or the specific value of your home without hassles or sales pressure, feel free to give me a call at 555-5555. I hope this information is helpful to you. Have a great day. Take Care. Bye bye.”
