Question For You!

I am curious to know how many market report/update posts my fellow agents on AR do a week? I know that I try to do at least 1 or 2 a week. However, I also notice that of all of my blog topics, the market reports get the least amount of comments. Of course, market updates are useful to buyers/sellers, more so than other agents, so the lack of comments doesn't particularly concern me. Also, the market reports really help with SEO! I am always striving to find the perfect balance as I continue on with blogging. Let me know your thoughts.

I do a weekly market update. But, I also do fun blogs about my area, I get many more hits on the local happenings and good contact from sellers to list their home because I have a pulse of the area.

I post by zip code and will be doing this on AR only quarterly... I think that this data is most useful to consumers vs. other agents who have access to this info (hence fewer comments by AR agents). I say, post what you think is helpful whenever you want! Have a great time bloggin on AR!

Kim, sounds similar to what I do....It is "good" to hear that the markets don't get as many comments in general sounds like as the other stuff!

Ellie, makes sense to me! Great advice!

Hi Kristin:

That's a great question...

I need to start doing a weekly report.

Been so busy with listings lately.

TOula, you always have so many listings, and that is probably more important! Just curious as to what others thoughts are...have a good one!

Dear Kristin,

I think a weekly report is great idea. I have been doing it monthly for my two target areas. I don't care that agents don't comment on those posts, they are done for consumers. My members only posts are for my AR friends and family. I wish you much continued success!!

;)

Kristin, You may not get comments but click on statistics and check out the views for the posts.

Betina....I agree on not caring about the comments....looks like most agents do them weekly.....I was just wondering if I did that too often/too little/etc...It is great to hear what others are doing!

Gita, great idea...I don't do that often enough!

Hi Kristin, I am curious to know if you post all your great market reports and local information over on the Localism site? I really don't understand how all this all works here on AR, but it seems like it would be a great place for you to do so as well. Do you have to pay extra for that or is it included in upgrading to a "Rainmaker"? This Drought stricken Hoosier has no idea.

I am going back from 1999-2009 for the yearly average and median totals for DOM, list, and sales prices and I am finding some very interesting trends for our different MLS areas that will be most useful.

I guess I always thought the market reports belonged over on Localism, but I just don't know. I do, however find your reports enjoyable, and its always a good chance to comment and say "Hi".

hi Bruce,..I'm not sure how all that works either...yes, I do post to localism too ....actually most of my posts...

Hi Kristin, I tend not to leave comments on market reports and listing blogs because there's really not much to say. I like the personal interest postings myself.

Malcom, I agree...what can you really say...hey, nice report :-=)

You could always say:

"WOW- Waukesha County is out of the HTH's price ranges!!!!"

Kristin

I do all my markets almost on the same day; some I get lots of comments on; some I don't. The Waukesha posts get the most comments.

Bruce, you are silly!

Tom, you are the market king after all!

Hey,Kristin. Like you I do my market reports and I do not receive a lot of comments, but I do get a lot of lookers. I guess variety is key. Have a great weekend, Jim

Thanks Jim..you too!

I do market reports monthly and stagger them out along with my other posts. I rarely get comments but I have gotten lots of views and hopefully that will lead to calls.

Correct Dr Baugh! Thanks...sounds like what I am doing is pretty much in line with what others are doing as well on AR!
