Hello and welcome to This Month in Real Estate. I’m JAY PAPASAN.

Our top story: surprising insights into the mind of a buyer. But first, the numbers.

And now, our top story.

According to a national survey of real estate transactions, it takes about twelve weeks for the typical buyer to find their next home.

Since the vast majority of homebuyers start their search online, the weather becomes less of a factor for sellers marketing their house to those buyers.

For more tips on how sellers can make the most of any market, we turn to News You Can Use.

NEWS YOU CAN USE

The traditional home buying season in the ca Bay Area starts in the spring. And for good reason.

Families with kids need to be settled in time for the new school year, and houses just plain show better with a lawn of green grass and leaves on the trees.

Sounds good, right? Well, there are some strong arguments in favor of listing your house right now, instead of waiting until spring. Here are just a few …

• Since it takes almost three months for the average buyer to find a home, houses listed right now are in a better position to market to buyers looking to close in the spring.

• On average, the number of home sales in January drops almost by half from the previous year’s peak. When there are fewer houses competing, a house that is priced right and staged well will stand out even more from the competition.

• Lenders, appraisers, home inspectors, movers and other vendors also see a seasonal dip in transactions. This can mean a quicker and easier closing than the busy spring season

For more reasons a winter sale might be for you, talk to your local real estate agent.

"The Weekend Wrap Up"

Presented by Jason Wheeler

Can you believe that we have reached the end of the 1st quarter of 2010 already!? During this time it is great to reflect and see how your current marketing strategy is working for your business. Personally I made some big changes for my business in the new year and I have been having some truly phenominal results. No matter what your business is you NEED a marketing plan.

Here are are a few tips that myself and some partners are having some great success with!

  1. Tighten your target market. Smaller, highly targeted marketing options are far cheaper – and often more effective – than tactics that reach a larger audience.  For example, instead of direct mailing to an entire state of note holders or potential buyers and sellers off of a quality list, maybe direct mail to only note holders in that state with notes under $100,000, that are seasoned less than six months on residential property only.  Or if you are using classified ads, instead of placing your ads in a large regional paper, maybe place them in smaller local papers in outlying rural areas around major cities.
  2. Ask for ‘remnant space’.  If you are advertising, whether it is print, TV or radio, every media outlet has unsold space they sometimes sell to smaller advertisers at a fraction of the regular price.  A company that I know got a nationwide remnant ads on CNN for only $500!  In this economic environment, ask for details!
  3. E-mail Newsletters.  Web-based services with pre-formatted templates that maintain your list and do all of the technical work for you (except for the writing) are a cheap, easy way to regularly remind note holders, referral sources and potential clients of your value and services.

What is Your Marketing Plan?

If your marketing plan is not getting the results you were planning or if you are just spending more money on your marketing plan than you really would like to you may want to make a change! Have you ever heard the story "Who Moved My Cheese"? If not you should watch this quick video.
