The National Association of Realtors(R) published the results to their consumer survey in November.

As real estate professionals, it is important to understand buyer trends. Access Realty uses data and technology to create a strategic marketing plant that targets buyers where they are looking for homes, with a primary emphasis on the use of the Internet.

It’s interesting that buyers are using many resources when looking for a home, but when they actually find “The One” it is either from their Real Estate Agent or the Internet (66%). WarGames trailer Hard As Nails psp

Missoula Real Estate – State of the Market Report

March 31, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment

On March 6, 2009 the Missoula Organization of REALTORS® released their annual housing report. Some highlights from the report include:

1. Comparable data for the nation as a whole is in almost all cases more dire than that for Montana in general and Missoula in particular.

2. Prevailing interest rates were at their lowest levels in this decade at the end of 2008.

3. Although foreclosures increased significantly in 2007 and reached new highs in 2008, the number of foreclosures in Missoula represent only a little more than one-half of one percent of our market’s owner-occupied stock.
