PROMOTION As mentioned in yesterday’s post, easily 80% of buyers look at Internet listings before they even contact a real estate agent Now why is that?… it’s because of the availability and proliferation of MLS data to the general public makes it so much easier to just pull up your laptop, iPad, or real estate [...]
The Reader’s Digest version: Inventory is down, median prices are up. (wait, does anyone really still subscribe to Reader’s Digest anymore? Was that a seriously dated pop culture reference?) Anyway, the latest housing market data report for August 2012 from our local MLS shows some interesting data points. Single family home inventory still is down [...]

Which, looking at the glass half full, means that it’s a great time to be a buyer, because the choices are many, rates are low, and [...]

Here’s two examples — which one do you side with? “Experts Say Housing Recovery is Still Years Away” versus “58% of Americans Expect Housing Market to Recover After 2012″ Good heavens!
