houseing market: The New Consumer and the Future of our Business - 02/16/09 11:06 AM
It has occurred to me that a new generation of buyers is emerging and they are creating a new set of problems. This consumer is different then our current buying market at large - AKA the Baby Boomers. This consumer base is known as the Millennials but they are also being called "Generation We" or "Generation Now". Born between 1978 and 2000, they are 95 million strong, compared to 78 million Baby Boomers. They are the sons and daughters of the Baby Boomers and they are a new animal to market too and sell real estate to. This generation is like … (6 comments)

houseing market: The Rule of 72 - 01/29/09 02:29 PM
I have heard a lot of talk about when is the best time buy a home. Is it now while the market is a buyer's market or should one wait because prices may go down even more? I would like to address this issue with the law of 72. Created by Albert Einstein, the Rule of 72 is a mathematical shortcut used to determine how long it will take for an investment to double. This rule is widely used in Real Estate to determine when the value of homes will double in the market. I will be using this rule to … (2 comments)
