Step 1: Highlight Key Market Data

Your postcard should focus on relevant, local market insights that help homeowners understand what’s happening in their area. Highlight statistics such as:

• Total number of homes sold in 2024 in the neighborhood.

• Average days on market and average sale prices.

• Trends you’ve observed, like inventory shifts or buyer demand changes.

Example:

“In [Neighborhood], homes sold for an average of [Price] this year, with most properties going under contract in [X] days. With buyer demand still strong, now could be the ideal time to consider listing your home.”

This localized snapshot gives potential sellers a clearer picture of the market and sparks curiosity about their own home’s value.

Step 2: Include a Clear Call to Action

Encourage homeowners to reach out if they’re interested in a free home valuation or discussing their plans for 2025. Your CTA should be simple, actionable, and valuable.

Examples:

• “Curious about your home’s value in today’s market? Call me for a free, no-obligation valuation.”

• “Thinking of selling in 2025? Let’s chat about how I can help you maximize your sale.”

Position yourself as a helpful resource, whether they’re actively planning to sell or just want to stay informed.

Step 3: Add a Personal Touch

To make your postcard feel more personal, consider adding a brief, handwritten note or including a small section with your own observations on the local market. If you’ve helped clients in their neighborhood, mention that to strengthen your credibility and connection.

Example:

“It’s been a busy year in [Neighborhood]! I’ve had the pleasure of working with several wonderful clients here, helping them make successful moves. If you’re thinking about selling or just want to know what your home might be worth, I’m only a call away.”

Step 4: Design an Eye-Catching Postcard

Your postcard should be visually appealing and easy to read. Use high-quality images, bold fonts for key statistics, and a clean, professional layout. Don’t overload the postcard with too much text—keep it concise and focused on the essentials.

Design elements to consider:

• Neighborhood photo: Use a recognizable image from the area.

• Color-coded graphics for quick, easy-to-digest data.

• Your branding: Ensure your logo, contact information, and website are prominently displayed.

Step 5: Follow Up

After your postcards are mailed, be ready to follow up with any leads that come in. You can also consider sending a follow-up email to your farm area list, briefly mentioning that you’ve sent out year-end reviews and are available for consultations.
