Watch the news and you’ll hear how home prices are coming down. Its not a secret that sellers are getting less than they did a year or two ago. For several years now we’ve been waiting for the market to flip into a buyer’s market - and now we have it.

But now we’re seeing many potential home buyers afraid to commit!

When I say this, it makes some people mad because they think that prices will continue to drop for a long time to come and they’re more interested in timing the market. Don’t worry about housing prices collapsing if local industry is doing well. Pick up a copy of the AJC and you’ll get a sense of the economic environment. Most parts of Atlanta didn’t see a huge bubble, so there is nothing to pop.

I don’t care what you’ve heard, good homes are still selling quickly and some buyers are getting great deals today. If you’re agent knows how to value homes in the area and knows how to submit a good offer that a seller will consider, you’ve struck gold.

This is what we’ve been waiting for folks. Homes are on sale right now. Once prices start going back up, there is no telling how long you’ll have to wait for an opportunity like this to come along again.

According to the National Association of Realtors, 70% of all home buyers search the internet for home listings at some point. While most people choose national sites such as Realtor.com to view listings on the internet, many of these people may not realize that it can take several days for new listings to appear. Additionally, once the home is under contract or sold, it may take several more days before the listing is actually removed. This often leads to a sense of frustration for home buyers.Many local real estate agents solve this problem by pulling information on homes for sale directly from their Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and updating the homes for sale data on a daily basis. Sanford Rosser of Heritage Real Estate Brokers in Marietta Georgia says, “Saavy home hunters know the best homes are often sold quickly – sometimes within 24 hours of hitting the market. We recognize the importance of updating our site daily and showing every home for sale from all brokers, not just ours. As a result, we have noticed that a few of our clients have been able to beat other buyers to new listings and often save money by acting quickly and avoiding those awful bidding wars.”

Typical internet home shoppers want to see properties that they can buy today while not wasting time looking at homes that have already sold or giving out personal information. Rosser added, “The ability to find homes for sale on the internet has placed more demands on local real estate professionals to provide consumers with accurate and relevant information. In addition, people are increasingly hesitant to give out their name, address, e-mail, or phone number just to see what’s on the market right now. By offering a less personally intrusive, more relevant, and more comprehensive home search capability using their web presence, local agents can make the home buying process less frustrating for their clients.”
