Home Appreciation - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

by Christie Cannon

CoreLogic released their most current Home Price Index last week. In the report, they revealed home appreciation in three categories: percentage appreciation over the last year, over the last month and projected over the next twelve months.

Here are state maps for each category: 

The Past – home appreciation over the last 12 months

The Present – home appreciation over the last month

The Future – home appreciation projected over the next 12 months

Homes across the country are appreciating at different rates. If you plan on relocating to another state and are waiting for your home to appreciate more, you need to know that the home you will buy in another state may be appreciating even faster.

 

 

 

 

 

Appraisers v/s Homeowners Battle On Values

by Christie Cannon

Appraisers & Homeowners Do Not Always See Eye-To-Eye!

Appraisers & Homeowners Don’t See Eye-To-Eye on Values | MyKCM

In today’s housing market, where supply is very low and demand is very high, home values are increasing rapidly. Many experts are projecting that home values could appreciate by another 5%+ over the next twelve months. One major challenge in such a market is the bank appraisal.

If prices are surging, it is difficult for appraisers to find adequate, comparable sales (similar houses in the neighborhood that closed recently) to defend the selling price when performing the appraisal for the bank.

Every month, Quicken Loans measures the disparity between what a homeowner believes their house is worth as compared to an appraiser’s evaluation in their Home Price Perception Index (HPPI). Here is a chart showing that difference for each of the last 12 months.

Every house on the market has to be sold twice; once to a prospective buyer and then to the bank (through the bank’s appraisal). With escalating prices, the second sale might be even more difficult than the first. If you are planning on entering the housing market this year, let’s get together to discuss this, and any other obstacle that may arise.

 

 

 

Blaze of Glory this week at Willow Bend in Plano

by Christie Cannon

Come & join us this Friday for Blaze of Glory at this week's Concerts in the Courtyard at The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano!

The Christie Cannon Team will have a face painter for the kids (or those of us a kid at heart).

Should be another great concert with an awesome band!

 

Blaze of Glory, Bon Jovi Tribute Band, is an incredible almost uncanny reproduction of a live Bon Jovi concert!

In fact they are so true to the actual artist, they were selected to appear on AXS TV’s nationwide live broadcast World’s Greatest Tribute Bands over every other Bon Jovi tribute band in North America, followed by headlining the California State Fair and even going international by playing the Miller Light Experience in San Pedro Sula Honduras!

 

We hope to see you there this Friday October 14th starting at 6:30pm!

The Shops at Willow Bend Facelift Continues

by Christie Cannon

Renovations continue at Plano's The Shops at Willow Bend. The demolition of now vacant Saks Fifth Avenue is well under way and a $100million renovation by Starwood Retail Partners has begun. 

According to Dallas Morning News, currently plans are to be completed in 2018 & include:

— A pedestrian-friendly restaurant row visible from the Dallas North Tollway will go in where Saks Fifth Avenue is being torn down after sitting empty since 2010.

— A nine-story, 200,000 square-foot office building will be built where a Mercury restaurant once stood. The tower's lobby will be connected to the mall.

— A boutique hotel or an entertainment venue is planned on the west side of the mall.

—  And a fitness club is being courted for a spot between Crate & Barrel and Restoration Hardware where a fountain now sits.

The expansion will incorporate an open-air concept mall with Willow Bend's current anchor retailers. which include Texas' native Neiman Marcus.

Christie Cannon named among America's Best Real Estate Agents

by Christie Cannon

 

Christie Cannon Named to REAL Trends' America’s Best Real Estate Agents in Frisco, TX.

Christie Cannon of Keller Williams Realty Frisco was named one of America’s most productive sales associates as a part of REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents, the newly issued ranking report produced by REAL Trends and sponsored by Zillow Group.  Cannon’s Team is now a member of the “America’s Best Real Estate Agents,” and ranked number 14 for the state of Texas.  

REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents ranks over 12,000 residential real estate professionals solely based on their excellence in real estate sales during calendar year 2015. All production numbers are independently verified by a third-party in order to ensure accuracy and report integrity. This group of highly successful real estate sales agents represents less than 1 percent of all real estate practitioners in the United States.

The real estate professionals are ranked in four categories:

• Individual agent — Sales volume
• Individual agent — Transaction sides (in each real estate transaction there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: the buy side and the selling side)
• Agent team — Sales volume
• Agent team — Transaction sides

To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2015. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.

“The average residential real estate agent in the United States closed fewer than eight transactions in 2015 and had less than $1.5 million in sales,” says Steve Murray, publisher of REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents and president of REAL Trends. “To say that Christie Cannon is an exceptional sales professional is an understatement. To attain this level of sales is truly outstanding.”

“We are also pleased that two of the nation’s most prominent online real estate websites, Trulia® and Zillow®, have partnered with REAL Trends to bring a superior level of customer exposure of these sales agents’ performance,” Murray added.

Information on those receiving this recognition can be found online at http://www.americasbestre.com

“I am obviously pleased and honored to be ranked on this ranking of the country’s top residential real estate agents,” said Christie Cannon, “It represents the time and effort that we put into each client that we serve and how much work it takes to build a successful real estate career. The level of sales it takes to qualify makes it a truly special recognition.”
