Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013


(PRWEB) April 08, 2013

There was a dramatic increase of 150% in the number of new listings for homes, condos, and townhomes in Port Barrington. The number of new listings rose from 4 new listings in March 2012 to 10 new listings in March 2013. There was also a slight increase in the number of homes for sale in the area, as the number of homes for sale increased from 19 homes in March 2012 to 20 homes in March 2013. Despite the increase in new listings and homes for sale in the area, the months supply of inventory decreased just slightly. The months supply of inventory dropped from 10.6 homes in March 2012 to 10 homes in March 2013. After seeing a large drop in the number of closed sale for Port Barrington homes last year, as the number of closed sales fell from 4 closed sales in March 2011 to 1 closed sale in March 2012, this number remained steady at 1 closed sale for March 2013. After a dramatic decrease in the median sales price last year of almost 70%, the median sales price dropped again this year by an additional 30%. The median sales price declined from $ 215,500 in March 2011 to $ 65,000 in March 2012 and then finally to $ 45,000 in March 2013. This dramatic decreased may be caused by the limited number of closed sales for the last two years. There was a significant improvement in the market time for homes sold in Port Barrington in March 2013. The number of days homes in the area remained on the market dropped from 177 days in March 2012 to only 19 days in March 2013. This number is also significantly better than March 2011s figure of 236 days on the market.

Real Estate Marketing Techniques for 2012 Announced Online

Friday, September 7th, 2012


Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) September 06, 2012

Real estate marketing is one thing that realtors and real estate agents must do each day to reach buyers. Traditional offline methods of marketing included face-to-face meetings and sign marketing that required a lot of time and energy. One website is helping to train realtors and real estate agents how to reach more buyers using the Internet. The HowtoMarketHouses.com website has now released its real estate marketing techniques for 2012. This new series of techniques, tips and tricks was written by real estate and social media experts. Real estate professionals that want to learn more about these techniques can visit the following link http://howtomarkethouses.com/how-to-find-real-estate-keywords-for-your-blog.

The decline in real estate sales in many states can be attributed to many economic events. High unemployment, lower wages and foreclosures are some of the reasons that realtors have provided when asked about lower than target goal estimates. It is the growth of technology that is starting to help real estate professionals get back a lot of the potential buyers that have been list since 2007. The use of smartphones and Internet connected devices is helping to connect real estate professionals with people that are ready to make a purchase or want faster information about a property. This type of mobile marketing is covered in detail on the new and improved HowtoMarketHouses.com website.

Traditional buyers lists can be obtained by realtors or real estate agents in many ways. A round robin auction is one way that some professionals use to locate buyers in local communities. Referrals from existing or previous homebuyers have been one of the tried and true formulas for boosting offline real estate sales. The growth of social media websites is now helping real estate professionals to reach buyers that live outside of a local community or regional area. Buyers that invest in real estate from out of state locations are now connecting with agents and realtors using social media. A complete overview of how to use social media effectively is provided at the HowtoMarketHouses.com website.

Search engine marketing is just as important for real estate as it is for retailers with e-commerce websites. Obtaining a high ranking position in search engines like Bing, Google and Yahoo can often translate into more website visitors. The high price of paying a search engine optimization company to perform search engine marketing has left some realtors and agent to find cheaper ways to get promotion. A comprehensive and easy to read overview of SEO strategies for real estate is now provided by the How to Market Houses staff. The following link describes SEO for real estate in more detail http://howtomarkethouses.com/how-to-place-your-real-estate-backlinks-everywhere.
