72 sold. 18 above ask. 49 below. Two plans.

Same town, same month. One home sold $75,100 over asking in 3 days. Another sold $300,000 under where it started, after 76 days.

The seller plan: price to the last 90 days of closed sales, launch ready, and agree on a day-10 plan before you list.

The buyer plan: a strong local lender and agent who know the market, know where the leverage is and what to negotiate, and explore your financing options.

Thinking about buying, selling, or both? Let's take 15 minutes, and I'll pull the sold homes on your street. No pressure.

The Powell Area Realty Association held it's annual Halloween Costume Contest yesterday, we had three winners, Friar Tuck Princess Leia and a Circus Clown. There were many other cool costumes as well. The meeting also did have a serious note, we had Atty Aaron Barone and Blair Bishop with Talon Title provide updates on what's happening with Title and to be particularly aware of fraudsters posing a Title Companies. We also learned that paying for a service like home title lock just provides a notice that something has changed regarding your title.

20 of 72 Powell homes sold for cash in September. The other 52 had a financing plan. Do you?

A few options worth asking a lender about (they aren't right for everyone):

HECM for Purchase (age 62+): a reverse mortgage (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) that can help buyers 62 and older purchase a primary residence with no required monthly mortgage payment. It takes a larger down payment, taxes, insurance and upkeep still apply, and HUD-approved counseling is required.

Bridge loans: short-term financing, often secured by your current home's equity, repaid when it sells.

Also ask about seller-paid rate buydowns, closing credits, and selling first with a rent-back.

Costs, terms and eligibility vary by lender. General information, not financial advice.

49 of 72 Powell buyers paid less than the original asking price in September, and the median discount was $25,000.

The deals were on the homes that had sat: the 33 homes that cut price averaged 74 days and sold an average of $57,088 below where they started. But other buyers see them too. 13 of the 20 cash purchases in September were on price-cut listings, so your offer needs to be clean and well prepared.

Beyond price, ask your agent about closing-cost credits or a seller-paid rate buydown, repairs after inspection, and timeline and possession. Back every number with the sold homes on that street.

You can buy in Powell. You just need a plan.

As of October 1 there were 154 homes for sale in Powell, about 2.1 months of supply. In September, well-priced homes between $750,000 and $1,000,000 sold in a typical 5 days, while 43% of all sales (31 of 72) took more than 30 days.

Step one of your plan: a strong local lender and an agent who knows this market, working together before you tour. Get pre-approved, know your all-in monthly number, and watch the homes that have sat.

28 Powell homes sold in 10 days or less in September. 27 of them never cut the price, and 19 (68%) sold at or above their original ask.

Your first ten days are the most attention your home will ever get. The price you launch at is the price the market judges you on.

And well-priced homes still move: the 11 homes that sold between $750,000 and $1,000,000 had a typical time on market of 5 days.

Before you list, decide what happens on day ten, so any change is part of a plan instead of a reaction. Thinking about listing this fall? Let's build your day-one plan together.

Zero.

Of the 33 Powell homes that cut their price in September, zero sold at or above their original ask. They averaged 74 days on the market, cut an average of $36,539, and still sold an average of $57,088 below where they started.

The 39 homes that never cut sold in 13 days on average, and 23 of them (59%) sold at or above original ask.

A price cut isn't a strategy. It's a receipt. The good news is that the first price is something you control: price to the closed sales of the last 90 days, price for what a buyer will pay in week one, and agree on a day-10 plan before you list.

Thinking about selling? Let's take 15 minutes and look at the sold homes on your street.

Two Powell homes. Same month. One sold $75,100 over asking in 3 days. The other sold $300,000 under where the owners started.

September's numbers, straight from the MLS: 72 homes closed in Powell, the best September in four years. 18 sold above their original ask, 5 sold at it, and 49 sold below it.

The good news: Powell homes can still command top dollar, as long as the home earns it. And buyers can still win here, as long as they walk in with a plan. This week I'll walk through both.
