Home Buyer satisfaction rises, seller satisfaction decreases

Satisfaction with real estate companies among home buyers improved in 2010 compared with 2009, while satisfaction among home sellers declined, according to the recently released J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Home Buyer/Seller Study.

Overall satisfaction with real estate companies among home buyers rose 12 points to 803 on a 1,000-point scale, primarily driven by increased satisfaction with agents and salespersons, according to the study. By contrast, overall satisfaction among home sellers with real estate companies declined by 40 points to 742 in 2010.

The study examined three factors to determine the overall satisfaction for the home-buying experience: agent/salesperson; office; and variety of additional services. Four factors were examined for the home-selling experience: agent/salesperson; marketing; office; and variety of additional services.

Sherman Oaks and Studio City properties

As a resident of the Hidden Woods neighborhood pocket in Sherman Oaks, I am not surprised that Sherman Oaks listings and Studio City properties, are holding their values and selling quickly. This Sherman Oaks community is charming and pride of ownership really shows. You will find in Hidden Woods, predominantly ranch style homes built in the 1950's by William Mellenthin. Currently homes in this pocket of Sherman Oaks range from the high $500k range to at the higher end appx $2 million.
