Stay On Top of Your Local Housing Market-With Ease

Monday, March 17, 2008

Whether you are a real estate agent, a serious home buyer or serious home seller, it is critical that you stay very knowledgeable about your local real estate market.  Empowering yourself with this information keeps the playing field “un-leveled” in your favor.

• What just got listed? 
• What just went into escrow?
• What just got priced reduced?
• Are homes selling and for how much?
Agent blogs like this Austin one provide a good market overview.  Still, if you are truly serious about local real estate, you must possess real-time market data about specific listings of the types and locations that matter to you.  In local real estate, knowledge truly is power. 

We are all very busy, so how do you get this information with minimal time and energy on your part?  I manage various online real estate service companies while remaining an active real estate broker.  Combine this with being an involved single parent and my time is extremely limited! 
Here is how to stay on top of the real estate market with ease using CleanOffer.

1. Search CleanOffer.com  for the areas and types of properties that matter to you
2. Save those searches on CleanOffer.com to automatically get “New Matches” emailed to you
3. Save individual listings to “My Favorites” to get instant status and price change email alerts about those properties

By saving properties to “My Favorites” you will immediately know when a home goes in or out of escrow or has a price change.  You are also notified when it sells including the sales price.
The result is that you truly stay on top of your market with very little effort.  Being instantly smarter about local real estate helps you buy the right home at the best price, sell your home for the highest price and make you more money as a real estate agent.
Coooooool!
