Just for Fun – Kitsap County 24

As a real estate professional in Kitsap County, I spend several hours a day doing market research for many different types of clients, first time homebuyers, new construction consumers and military members relocating from here or to here.

Some of my clients want to know what is new – some want to know what has sold and some of my clients just like to know about activity.

Not all of my clients are in the market now. They will be some day and so I provide them with history, data and information they request to make decisions that concerns their home search – home sell part of their life.

Below is a look at the past 24 hours in the Kitsap County home market. As of 10/08/2008 at 10:50 am.

The new homes on the market during this 24-hour period are located in Bremerton, Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island. These nine homes range in price $149,900 – $545,000. Can you guess where they are located? Some of these homes are new construction; some are craftsman style homes built in the 1940’s. Some of these homes have views and some do not. Some of these homes sit on large lots and some sit on small cozy ones. If you would like to see the photos or receive, more information just send me your email and I will send off the list to you.

Old Fashioned Service with the Technology of Today!

Are you aware of the advanced marketing trends of the new technology age of Real Estate? As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1943-1964) I have lived a life of change. We are after all the generation that started it all! Boomers are associated with expressing individual freedom, the civil rights movement, gay rights, handicapped rights, right to privacy and the important feminist cause of the 1970’s. I don’t call that slacking and I don’t call it out of the loop. Those movements taught us how change was good, how it could improve our lives and how it would lead to great things.

If I was one year younger I could be considered a member of Generation X. Generation X (1960-1979) is the most tech friendly of all the generations so far. This generation has driven the majority of the Internet’s growth. Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Youtube and other tech companies were all founded by people who belong to Generation X.

Finally, we come to Generation Y. Generation Y (1981-1995) or sometimes called the “Net Generation” is the first generation to grow up fully surrounded by a total digital and Internet driven world. They are the ones that keep us on our toes when it comes to all the latest tricks and trends.

As a Real Estate Professional it is imperative to keep abreast of all the latest marketing and sales trends. There are over 15 different free websites just to market a listing on. There are several networking sites to reach out to other Real Estate Professionals to help make a relocation transaction less stressful.

Do you know what a BLOG is? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A blog (a portmanteauof web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning tomaintain or add content to a blog. Click on any of these three pictures to be directed to one of my three different blogs. When I list your home it will be displayed on all of these sites along with all of the other free flyer sites – Yes, and even CraigsList. CraigsList flyers seem to show up very quickly on the first page of Google for some awesome exposure.

As a real estate consumer whether you are buying or selling you want to make sure your agent is “tech-no savvy” so be sure to ask some questions about their online presence. Ask about their social networking and see if you can make a connection!
