I’ve always said that if a company can’t stand by its product or service, there is no use working with them. So naturally when it comes to providing the invaluable services that we pride ourselves in giving our clients, we stand by what we offer to each person.

That’s why we developed the Carbutti & Company Realtors Love It or Leave It® Guarantee. It sounds like it’s designed to protect our buyers’ best interests and that is exactly what this program does. In fact, with the inception of this new guarantee, we are further attesting our pledge of finding you the perfect home for you.

The Love It or Leave It® Guarantee applies to each and every one of our buyers that purchases a home through Carbutti & Company Realtors and it provides buyers the peace of mind that if they are unhappy with their home – for whatever reason – in the first 12 months of their purchase, we will sell it for free. We will not charge a single cent for selling your home if you are not happy with the purchase.

Now, that’s a pretty hefty guarantee – and the reason we are able to provide this added reassurance to all of our buyers is because of our sheer confidence in our abilities. We know that our team will do what it takes and take as much time as needed to find you the home that you will love for years to come.

Worried about fine print? Trust us – there isn’t any. To see just how sure we are of ourselves, visit our website www.Carbutti.com, click on the “Buyers” tab and along with a host of useful resources you will see our Love It or Leave It® Guarantee.

Of course, if it’s easier to just pick up the phone or shoot over a quick email, we’re right here to explain our services and this fantastic guarantee – in a way that is convenient for you.

Wallingford’s Real Estate Outlook in the New Year

Watch on your mobile device >>

One of the most active areas in our real estate market these days is the single-family marketplace and today, there are fewer homes available than buyers are willing to buy. This poses a significant challenge, of course, for the myriad buyers looking to lock in the still historically low interest rates and great prices, while sellers continue to enjoy an edge.

Wallingford Real Estate Market Needs More Single-Family Homes

Right now, we have approximately 156 single-family homes available for sale whereas just a few weeks go that number was significantly higher at 190. This clearly indicates the constant activity going on in our area despite some of the recent setbacks that Mother Nature caused us to endure collectively as a region.

List Price and List-to-Sale Ratios Are Strengthening

Our average list price is right around $289,000 in the Wallingford real estate environment with the average number of Days on Market hovering at about 278 days. Interesting to note is that in terms of price decrease from the time a home was listed to the time it was sold, has gone down for the most part – to the tune of 24% as opposed to 34% in 2012.

Wallingford Continues to Trend Upward Toward a Seller’s Market

With this New Year, other changes also seem to continue appearing on the horizon; our Market Action Index is trending upward, indicating movement toward a stronger seller-centric marketplace. With 30 being the mean, anything above that level points to a seller’s market and anything below begins to indicate a buyer-controlled environment. Right now we are at 15.4 with the MAI trending upward.

The Time to Sell Is Now

For homeowners and homebuyers, this means that the market is ripe for activity – particularly for new listings. If you have been waiting and watching before deciding to put your home up for sale, now is the time to do it. With a significant advantage over buyers since there are fewer and fewer desirable homes available to them, there is a lot of room for negotiation. In fact, well-priced homes in great locations that are in good condition are typically selling in fewer than 30 days. That’s well below the average DOM for our area.
