Poor California! - 07/26/08 11:32 PM
California was one of the Top Ten States Searched for Real Estate in the REindex.com report of the same name. CA - There isn't much that can be said about the California real estate market that isn't already being said except, wait. Waiting is what everyone there has to do. There are no forecasts that show CA improving in 2009 from its current situation. From San Diego to Sacramento, San Francisco to San Jose, the market there is just going to be rough. The activity in CA is still strong because of all the people looking for a "deal on a … (6 comments)

New York has good reasons to look for real estate besides having a large population! - 07/26/08 11:23 PM
In reference to the Top Ten States Searched report that REindex.com just placed on its website: NY - There are market areas of strength apart from the weight of NYC population that are the reason for so many people searching for NY real estate. In an area that supports 2 teams for football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and who knows what else, there are just a lot of people that consider the NYC area the place to be. Then there is the rest of NY. Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Syracuse, and Lawng-Eyelan, all operate on the outskits of a place where million dollar … (2 comments)

What if you could see where customers are searching? - 07/22/08 04:29 PM
What if you could see where customers are searching for real estate before they call to see a property, or apply for a mortgage, or ask about an attorney? Would you keep it a secret? How could such information be gathered? It would take a very extensive and very targeted web site. And with this information, you would have a better idea of how to help yourself be in a position to meet customers' business needs as they start searching for real estate. It could help you package your loan services, or closing services, or your listings to attract activity. You … (6 comments)

Why 2 MLSs on Cape Cod? - 07/18/08 12:45 PM
Many customers aren't aware, but there are 2 Multiple Listing Services (MLS) on Cape Cod for Cape Cod real estate. One is the traditional one that has been here since the pilgrims started selling houses between each other, and the other is from "Off-Cape" and is working hard to "annex" the Cape into its massive database. My company has been a member of both for the last ten years, but many companies on the Cape are members of only the Cape Cod and Islands MLS and not the Property Information Network (PIN).
Both are normal MLSs and both have a lot … (2 comments)

One of the most intelligent and thought provoking papers I have read in years! - 07/10/08 10:01 AM
There was a paper/speech delivered at a meeting in Switzerland that was attended by representative from most major corporations world wide. This speech is a reasonable and thoughtful presentation about the world economy and what the actual future has in store. This is not a political speech, nor is it a religious or nationalistic speech. It is concise, focused, and a must read for anyone anywhere.
It includes economic information about Europe, Japan, the US, the Middle East, China and Russia. And yet, it is easy to read, understand, and consider. There has never been a point in history like the … (2 comments)
