Good News for housing!
New Home Sales actually INCREASED….
According to data released this morning by the Commerce Department, sales of new homes hit a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 307,000 in October, up 1.3% from the previous month and up 9% from October 2010.

Here are just some of the hard lesions we have learned.
1. “Let’ set the rent high and look for an offer
Tenants make decisions on what to preview based on digital photos, property descriptions and asking rent. They look at 5 to 8 homes before they complete an application. They are comparative shoppers and know when the asking rent is too high. … (3 comments)

david l morton: Creating a Positive Professional Image - 11/18/11 07:07 AM
According to Harvard Business School professor Laura Roberts, your professional image is the set of qualities and characteristics that represent perceptions of your competence and character as judged by your key constituents (i.e., clients, superiors, subordinates and colleagues).
You must take a strategic, proactive approach to managing your professional image. "If you aren't managing your own professional image, then someone else is," says Roberts. Since your constituents are constantly observing you, sizing you up as a professional, Roberts says, "It's only wise to add your voice in framing others' theories about who you are and what you can accomplish."

david l morton: FYI Behind Existing-Home Sales Stats - 11/16/11 07:06 AM
Behind Existing-Home Sales Stats
The existing-home sales report is released on or near the 25th of each month. Behind the stats, you will find four important factors that help explain how existing-home sales are configured.
Why existing-home sales are calculated on a seasonally adjusted annual rate. Seasonally adjusted annual rates are used in reporting existing-home sales data to factor seasonal variations in resale activity. For example, home sales volume is higher in the summer than in the winter, primarily because of differences in the weather and family-buying patterns in the U.S.
How seasonally adjusted annual sales rates are calculated. When calculating seasonally adjusted annual rates, … (3 comments)

david l morton: Email Marketing Tips to Know! - 08/23/11 01:57 PM
Email isn’t any less personal than any other form of communication. It may feel that way because, unlike a telephone or a face-to-face meeting, there isn’t any direct and immediate feedback. But your inbox is your inbox. Which means, you don’t want to spend your time sifting through hundreds of unsolicited and incomprehensible messages any more than anyone else.Which brings us to email marketing. Having a successful email-marketing campaign means putting yourself in your contact list’s shoes. If you were on the other end of the send button, would you be interested in what you are sending out? If not, it’s … (0 comments)

david l morton: Social Insecurity: Stop Doing These Things on Facebook - 08/19/11 01:06 PM
Using a weak password – Avoid
easy-to-guess names or birth
dates. Instead, create a secure
8-character password by
mixing upper- and lower-case
letters, numbers, and symbols.
Leaving your full birth date in
your profile – It's an ideal target for
identity thieves.
Overlooking useful privacy controls –
Restrict access to photos, birth date, and
family information, among other things.
Utilize privacy controls to give only
certain people or groups access to items, or
block particular people from seeing them.

david l morton: Home Maintenance Tip - Tips to Save Energy Today Easy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy: - 08/17/11 11:10 AM
Install a programmable thermostat to keep your house comfortably warm in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer.
Use compact fluorescent light bulbs with the ENERGY STAR® label.
Air-dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.

Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F.
Take short showers instead of baths.
