もう8月も最終週となりました！販売市場が冷え込む中、賃貸市場はヒートアップ！ドライデン物件は、販売用から賃貸用に変更、なんと1日で5回の内観ツアーと3人からの申し込みをいただきました。ライス大学とロバーツ小学校近郊で、私たちが選んだテナントにぴったりの場所となりました。9月1日に入居予定で、不動産管理に追加します。 5507 W Bellfort (www.har.com/ 95051110) は先週、$30,000 の大幅な値下げをしました。これは、売主が賃貸物件に変更する前に買い手を引き付けることができるかどうかを確認するためです。真理子は Lakes of Bella Terra (www.har.com/4841743) を $20,000 値下げしました。ナンはケイティで大人気のGrand Lakes にて新物件を $659,000 (www.har.com/56007051)で市場に出しました。前回のニュースレター以降のクロージングに関しては、8 月 22 日にロビンズの成約完了、販売市場の波に乗れたことをとても嬉しく思います。そして、契約をスムースかつ繊細に成約してくれたRiverway Titleに感謝します！前回のニュースレター以降、ヒューストン南西部のコンドミニアムの 5 ユニット パッケージも無事成約完了しました。この国際的なクロージングを無事成約完了してくれた Fidelity National Title、ありがとうございました。売主は日本からリモートオンライン公証人を使用し必要書類に署名しました。今週は、スーザンがベレアにある豪邸を成約予定です。また、ベイラー医科大学で働く新しい日本人医師のお引越しのお手伝いも行う予定です。物件管理の面では、Indian Autumn のテナントが退去し、次のテナントであるカネカの新しい日本人家族のために物件準備を９日間で整える予定です。購入、販売、リース、または投資を考えている方は是非、案浦不動産まで電話、メール、またはテキスト メッセージでお問い合わせください。全力でお手伝いさせていただきます！
It’s the last week of August already! As the sales market cools down, the leasing market heats up! Our listing on Dryden changed from being for sale to being for lease. In one day, we had 5 showings and 3 applications. The location was perfect for the tenants we chose, close to Rice University and Roberts Elementary. They move in September 1 and we will close it out on HAR.com and add it to our property management portfolio. Our listing at 5507 W Bellfort (www.har.com/ 95051110) went through a large $30,000 price reduction last week, as we try to see if we can attract a buyer before the owner decides to give up and also lease. Mariko just reduced her home $20,000 for sale in Lakes of Bella Terra (www.har.com/4841743) and Nan Feng has a strong listing for sale in popular Grand Lakes in Katy listed for $659,000 (www.har.com/56007051). As for closings since our last newsletter, our listing on Robbins did close and fund successfully on Aug 22 and we are just thrilled that the owners put the home on the market when they did. They barely caught the tail end of the seller’s market. A big thank you to Riverway Title, by the way, for the professional handling of that big transaction! Our 5 unit package of condos in southwest Houston also successfully closed since our last newsletter. We were delayed a few days for various reasons but we got it done, and the entire transaction was handled off market. Special thanks to Fidelity National Title for coordinating this international closing, with our seller signing with a remote online notary in Japan. Coming up this week is Susan’s closing on Cynthia, a beautiful home in Bellaire, and we will also welcome a new Japanese doctor who will be working at Baylor College of Medicine. On the property management side of things, our Indian Autumn tenant just moved out and we now have 9 days to turn the property and get it ready for our next tenant, a new Japanese family with Kaneka who has already signed and is just waiting for the home to be ready for move in! Are you thinking about buying, selling, leasing, or investing? Call, email, or text so we can help!
The Houston real estate market continues to soften. The lastest data shows us week 32 of 2022, from Aug 9-15. The number of new listings on the market went down 10.7% compared to the same week last year. This drop marks the third consecutive weekly decline. Not only did the number of new listings to the market decline, but the number of homes that went under contract also declined, by a very large 30%. The number of sellers who tried to sell their home but then pulled the home off the market because they could not sell them increased 13.7% from the same time last year. The number of closings were down nearly 20%, the number of showings was down 7.4%, and even the number of views on HAR.com went down by 33.8%. This tells us that the market has slowed way down. People are looking less, sellers are putting their homes on the market less, realtors are showing homes less, and homes are selling less. We think this might be a good chance for buyers to get back in to the market and try again to buy!
