Can someone tell me how the press realeses work. Who are the realeses sent to, just my collegues or some larger group? And give me some ideas on how I can use them.

I ment Press "RELEASE." And while you're at it can you tell me how to edit a post title.

Perceptions perpetuate reality. What I’m seeing in my local market falls right in line with what this report states. The average income here is over $90k/year and the average home price was (last time I checked) just over $200k. That is a cost to earnings ratio of just over 2 which is phenomenal. But, people are afraid to buy because they keep hearing that the market is bad. (Well, at least they were. The market really feels like it’s heating up now.) They don’t want to buy a home that will be worth $50,000 less next year, regardless of all the evidence the contrary.
As soon as people are confident that we are not heading into the next great depression (which by all accounts is an absurd expectation) they will begin buying homes again and bring the price back up to a good market level.
I think the report makes perfect sense. Plus, the comments about consumer sentiment just help cover the report writer’s bets no matter what the market does.

Here is an interesting report showing U.S. housing prices are undervalued by 10%.

This is what I've screeming for months. Of course, these guys are saying it a lot better.

Pretty militant but I'm ok with that. Thanks for the input.

Hope I'm not too late with this information, but I just listened to a webinar on phones for real estate agents. A lot of your choice will depend on what you feel comfortable with personally, but the webinar really ended up in favor of the Palm. One big consideration was the use of MLS and keysafes and the other phones were not really REALTOR friendly.

I have the palm Treo 700p and have gone through the entire series of Palm phones. I am excited about the new Palm Pre which will be released soon.

The speaker in the webinar for the Palm products is a nationally known trainer, Dick Betts. His web is his name (no spaces dot com). I would recommend looking at it before deciding.

If I wasn't a real estate broker, I probably would say iPhone then BB.

Good luck,

Gary


Thanks Gary, No your no too late. Thanks for the input. I'll check it out.

I have always had a good list from http://www.listsource.com. In the past I have also used Info USA. But I have been a fan of List Source for a couple of years now.


Thanx Jonathan,

I'm going to give them a shot.

Does anyone have some good contacts for some companies that sell lists? I just used vista print but they are kinda expensive and I thought there was too large a return percentage.
