1 in 7 Homebuyers Are Backing Out | [Your City] Real Estate Market Update

Introduction

1 in 7 deals fell apart last month. (Redfin)

Not offers that never came in. Contracts that were accepted—and then canceled.

That stat alone gives you a reason to speak up. Because behind every canceled deal is a question your clients are already asking: Is now still a good time to buy or sell?

This video gives you a calm, data-backed way to answer it.

You’ll walk buyers through the silver linings. Show sellers where the leverage still exists. And offer a neighborhood-level perspective most agents never take the time to explain.

If you’re looking for a smart, steady way to show up this week—this is it.

Before you get started

For best results with direct mail, you’ll want to have these core lists ready.

Before you send a text, make sure you have these three things in place:

Before you send an email, make sure these three things are in place:

This is your core mailing audience—used for general awareness and market education. Build your list using the following filters:

  • Homeowners who’ve owned for 10+ years
  • 50%+ equity
  • Areas with strong total commission opportunity (transaction volume × average price)

Start with 1,000 homes. Expand if it’s working. Need help pulling the list? Ask your title rep or use tools like PropStream or Breakthrough Broker.

Used for campaigns like Just Listed, Just Sold, Magic Buyer, or Pre-Appointment letters.You’ll need the ability to quickly pull 100–200 nearby homes around a specific property.

Used for targeted campaigns like Expired Listings, Silver Tsunami, and FSBOs.
Pull these from platforms like RedX or similar.

1

An Email Tool

You need a platform that lets you send mass emails to your database. Use what you have—FUB, Follow Up Boss, Mailchimp, KVCore, Constant Contact, etc. If you’re not set up yet, get that handled first. You can’t send if you can’t hit send.

2

Three Simple Lists

You need three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven't done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

These lists let you send smarter without overthinking.
3

A Plain Text Format

These emails are written to feel personal, not promotional—so keep them clean. Paste them as-is, with a short signature (your name, number, maybe your site). That’s it.

1

A CRM That Can Send Texts

Most modern CRMs can do this—Follow Up Boss, Lofty, Brivity, Real Geeks, etc. Use your CRM before buying anything new. You’ll want tracking, history, and batch-sending capabilities.

If you do need a mass texting tool, here’s what we recommend. But start with manual sends if you have to.

2

Three Simple Lists

Texting is for follow-up. And smart follow-up starts with the right filters.

Set up three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven’t done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

Apply two filters:

Engaged Recently

Opened an email or visited your site in the last 7 days.

Not Contacted Recently

No outreach in 30 days (for prospects) or 90 days (for clients).

That overlap—engaged but untouched—is your sweet spot. That’s who you text.

A Plain Text Format

These aren’t spam blasts. They’re timely, value-based follow-ups. Use their first name. Skip the signatures.
