If you don’t believe the headline do a quick search on Qazzoo above and see the thousands of homebuyers that are asking for help every day. Real Estate leads create their own profiles on Qazzoo and are free to be searched by Real Estate professionals that want to discover how to find homebuyers and then connect with them only after reading exactly what the homebuyers wants and then determining if they feel that they can help them. No more blind Real Estate leads showing up in your email box.
While Real Estate leads the economy out of and sometimes into recessions, 2013 looks like it’s going to be a break out year for Real Estate with all signs pointing to a great market for the New Year. There has been a need, a pent up, a ready to explode need that will, through the forces of the desire to own a home,
catapult the housing market into a tremendous rebound in 2013.
As an example homes in the Washington DC area that had seen the same depression in sales as the rest of the nation are now seeing multiple contracts for the same house. Offers that are above asking price (remember that) The market alone in DC has seen a 14% increase in the value of properties over the past year. Granted Washington DC is only one market but even states like California have seen a 3 to 5 percent increase in most major markets. California is mentioned because of the increase in taxes that have led millions of Californians to seek residence in states with less taxation. With a population that is not increasing while at the same time the Real Estate market is seeing strong signs of a full recovery speaks volumes about this pent up need.
People can sit on the sidelines for a while but sooner or later they want to get in the game and while the game is improving so is their confidence. In a recent poll taken by Qazzoo homebuyers reported that they were going to buy a house regardless of their concerns of taxes or depreciation because they need a place to live and paying rent is still not a good investment compared to owning a home.
Potential homebuyers become Real Estate leads and then homebuyers at a higher percentage every day and the mood in the Real Estate community is more hopeful than we have seen it for years.

January 7, 2013Every cloud has a silver lining. The key seems to be finding out just what that silver lining is. This article definitely points out some positive attributes to today’s buyers market. It’s a brand new year with a lot of untapped money in the real estate market. This is NOT the time to tap out.

What is the old line about people not seeing the silver lining because they are busy looking for the golden cloud? Something like that?
Any way the truth is that a New Year is a “new” opportunity to try new things and break out of old habits that do not serve us.
Negativity is one of those habits that don’t serve anyone. -

January 8, 2013Is there a particular type of buyer profile that I should look for? For example in Detroit we are not as in recovery mode as you see in DC. Is there a particular buyer type that is more likely make it to the closing table while we are still in recovery mode? How would I identify these buyers on your site? I want to avoid a bunch of dead end leads and would like to know what to look for when selecting them.

What I think is the best way to find leads on Qazzoo is to use the green search suggestion bar just under the search window (appears after you perform your first search) you can also add “excellent credit” or “perfect credit”. That should take care of the credit issues that you may run up against in a depressed market. You can also look for leads that indicate “ASAP” under when they want to move. This is found on the details pages near the bottom of the page.
Those are the two ways that I would try to identify the best profiles.
There are other methods such as looking at income levels compared to purchase price that many times indicate a more savvy purchaser.
I hope this was helpful?

January 8, 2013Do you think now is a good time to have a house on the market? I am in no rush to sell, but I don’t know if now is a good time, or wait a little while? BTW, can I find buyers for FSBO on Qazzoo?

The best time to put your house on the market is historically spring but I am a contrary thinker and believe that when there are less houses on the market you have a better chance of standing out in the crowd. It really depends on when you want to sell. Regarding finding home buyers on Qazzoo, that is what Qazzoo was designed for so by all means do a search and find the home buyers in your zip code and claim the buyers that are in your price range. Qazzoo beats advertising and having to talk to people that you don’t know anything about!
