The transcript below has been lightly edited for length and clarity:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracey Velt:<\/strong> I noticed that the average power buyer purchase prices are projected to be down, according to the zavvie Q2 2022 Modern Marketplace Report. Talk to me a little bit about about <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/back-on-the-market-how-agents-are-navigating-the-uptick-in-contract-cancellations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purchase price<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/10\/Modern-Marketplace-Report-Summary-Stats-Q2-222_Page_3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Modern-Marketplace-Report-Summary-Stats-Q2-222_Page_3\" class=\"wp-image-34119\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stefan Peterson:<\/strong> The power buyer purchase price reduction is super interesting. I mean, a basic fact about power buyer transactions, is that prices are quite a lot higher than the overall market. They&#8217;re averaging close to $700,000 at the end of Q2 2022. That has since dropped down to $600,000, based on July and August. Why is that happening? It&#8217;s a little bit of a mystery. I&#8217;d put it down to choppiness in the world market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers are just not transacting, and it will be interesting to see where that shakes out. But overall. I think the the relevant fact for real estate professionals is that power buyers are a great solution for higher price buyers. And for you know, buyers who are also selling usually move up to a higher price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracey Velt:<\/strong> Power buyer offer acceptance has dipped, as well, but it&#8217;s remained fairly stable. What are you seeing? Do you have a future look for that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/10\/Modern-Marketplace-Report-Summary-Stats-Q2-222_Page_4.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Modern-Marketplace-Report-Summary-Stats-Q2-222_Page_4\" class=\"wp-image-34120\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stefan Peterson: <\/strong>Yeah. So you know, we do track the offer acceptance for consumers who receive an offer from any power buyer our company works with. Basically, the companies that we partner with have seen those acceptance rates remaining very stable over the past couple of years \u2014 in the 30% to 40% range. I want to contrast that with you know the iBuyer, for example, where it&#8217;s more of a 3% to 6% conversion rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>RealTrending features the brightest minds in real estate.
