SPEAKER 01 : 0:00
Ron Simpson with you on Legends 810 AM and 95.3 FM and with us Celia Zaharas of Colorado Home Realty. She is our real estate concierge. Many of you listeners know, Legends listeners, that if you have a question about buying or selling or rates or neighborhoods, or parts of the entire state of Colorado, you know you can call or text Celia any time about that. Celia, how are you?
SPEAKER 02 : 0:23
Doing well, Tron. Thank you.
SPEAKER 01 : 0:24
You know, and I was just thinking, a lot of new listeners have come on, and I just kind of would like to do a reset and kind of reintroduce you to everyone. What you do, and it's amazing over these years that I've come to know you and the things you're able to do. You're able to help with estate sales in a very huge, meaningful way. You know the market. You know the neighborhoods. I've said it many times, you know it like the back of your hand, and you know Colorado too. So people may be coming in to Denver, the Denver area. Maybe people are leaving, going to another part of Colorado. You're able to help with that, neighborhoods, schools. And this is just part of your daily routine, isn't it, Celia?
SPEAKER 02 : 1:02
It certainly is, yes.
SPEAKER 01 : 1:04
And when questions come up, you're able to answer them. By the way, I have a question. Is it right now, here we are in almost, well, it's August, let's call it. It's basically late July, early August. Is it a buyer's or a seller's market?
SPEAKER 02 : 1:18
We are definitely in a buyer's market at the moment, which just means that buyers have the upper hand. They have the upper hand in coming in at a price that they feel the home is worth, which could be right at asking. It could be below asking. So I think we're seeing right at a little more than 50% of homes right now are selling for under the asking price. So that's what tells us that it's a buyer's market. They're also coming in with some concessions built in, which means the buyer's asking for some cash back, either for like a rate buy down or for some kind of correction with the home. Maybe an inspection item came through that needs correction. Um, and you know, they're, they're able to come in and ask for some of those inspection items as well. We're in a seller's market. Typically you don't, you don't see the buyer being able to ask for much.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:16
That's true. And you know, I was just thinking too, you're also a senior real estate specialist. So if there are seniors out there wanting to buy a home, uh, perhaps sell where there are now, well, this might be helpful for them too, uh, because of the, uh, the price options, right?
SPEAKER 02 : 2:32
Exactly. Um, Any buyer out there right now, whether a senior or not, has great negotiation power right now. So it's really an excellent time to buy. Now, for those that need to sell and buy, they just need to remember that in this type of market, you're going to sell for a little bit less, but you're also going to buy for a little bit less. So things really do even out.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:53
That's true. Now, obviously, we can't go over every question and answer. But if you folks out there have a question for Celia, anything concerning real estate, anything, please feel free to call or text her at the number she's going to give you now.
SPEAKER 02 : 3:09
My best number is 303-949-3107. Anytime folks.
SPEAKER 01 : 3:16
And remember, and if you're driving right now, just link to Celia Zaharis through legends953.com. Celia, great to talk to you again. Thanks for the update.
SPEAKER 02 : 3:23
Oh, absolutely. My pleasure, Tron.
SPEAKER 01 : 3:25
And from the real estate realm, right back to the legends on 810 AM and 95.3 FM.

Celia Zaharis joins Tron to share expert advice on selling homes in today's dynamic real estate landscape. Learn how to effectively stage your property, the importance of curb appeal, and practical steps you can take to attract potential buyers. Whether you're a seasoned seller or entering the market for the first time, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you shine.
SPEAKER 01 : 0:01
Tron here with you on Legends 8, 10 a.m. and 95.3 FM. Once again, we have Celia Zaharis of Colorado Home Realty. And with her and you and me, we enter the real estate realm. Welcome back, Celia Zaharis. How are you?
SPEAKER 02 : 0:14
Doing great, Tron. Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER 01 : 0:16
Last time we talked, we spoke about buyers. Let's talk about sellers because they're out there too, Celia.
SPEAKER 02 : 0:22
Absolutely. They're out there in full force. We have a lot of inventory on the market still. And it has started to slow, which is good news for sellers because it's going to help them. It's just going to provide more stable pricing for them as we get further into summer and less and less homes are presented to the market. So it's good news for them. And I would say the biggest three things for sellers to consider right now are the three P's, I call it. It's price, preparation, and patience. You know, we're at 40 plus days on market right now for getting your offers on your home and getting it sold. So it's going to take a few weeks to get it sold. But if you have it priced really well, which provides a great value to that buyer, needs to be prepped as well. Yeah, it just needs to be in its best possible condition and best possible presentation because that first impression is really important.
SPEAKER 01 : 1:33
It really is. And, you know, people perhaps have not bought or sold a house in a long time. You know, we're pedestrians. We get a little rusty. We've been comfortable and now it's time to buy or sell. In this case, if you're selling your home, Talk to Celia. She will help you stage. She will help you with curb appeals. She will help you with things that need to be fixed immediately. And she'll work with whatever your budget is. It's just amazing what you can do for folks. And the thing is, you want to be seen first and foremost. And if you're prepped as best as you can, you're going to be seen first, right? That's all it's all about.
SPEAKER 02 : 2:05
Absolutely. Yeah, those photos will shine and people will come and see your home.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:09
What is your phone number so people can get started on this? Get off the fence, everybody.
SPEAKER 02 : 2:14
Sure. It's 303-949-3107.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:20
Never hesitate to call or text Celia. That same number applies for both calling and texting folks. And you can link to her. If you're in the car right now, just know that you can link to Celia through legends953.com. Celia Zaharis of Colorado Home Realty. Appreciate you educating us all every week like this. Thank you.

SPEAKER 01 : 0:12
Thank you. Great to be here.
SPEAKER 02 : 0:14
Buyers and sellers, let's talk about this week, the buyers in the world of real estate in this area. I know you have some information that might be really helpful to some people out there right now.
SPEAKER 01 : 0:26
Yes, gosh, it is a buyer's market right now. So that just means for all the buyers out there, it is a really, really great to purchase. Um, and the reason for that is that buyers currently have the upper hand. We have a lot of sellers out there that have been sitting for a little while. Um, and they're getting a little bit frustrated and some of them have, have reasons and deadlines where they need to move. Um, And so those people are more willing to kind of bend over backwards to get their home sold. And so, you know, if we find one like that, that you are willing to purchase, then we can really work with that seller to make that happen for you. But currently, I can tell you, I'm helping my buyers to take advantage of the market right now. And that's through their offers, using really strong negotiation tactics around price and concessions, inspection items, and even inclusion. So It's a great time to make a purchase. And for those buyers out there that are worried about rates, those will change. Oh, sure. We even had a slight dip recently. So it's just you have to be ready to go. You have to be pre-qualified. Pre-underwritten, if possible, and I can discuss that with people if they need to, but be ready. It's a great time.
SPEAKER 02 : 1:47
It really is, and if you are a buyer, you have the choice. I mean, you're out there. You can look at so many wonderful properties out there, and there's probably no rush. And the thing is, if you have any questions about some of the things that Celia just talked about, please get some one-on-one FaceTime with Celia Zaharis of Colorado Home Realty. Of course, you can link to her through legends953.com, but you can also call her or text her anytime with any questions. Celia, lay those digits on us.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:15
303-949-3107 is the best number for me.
SPEAKER 02 : 2:20
Yep. Call or text, folks. Celia, appreciate you coming on again. It's helpful for everybody.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:25
My pleasure.
