William Meir Real Estate Taps the Information Superhighway

2012-02-13T22:32:00.000-08:00

In the last few years, the use of technology on the internet as a tool to share information has impacted many industries. Generally speaking, we are transitioning from "hard copy" consumers to "digitally astute" media consumers. The days of reading the newspaper to obtain information is coming to a close.

The real estate industry in the United States has been impacted by this trend to the extent that buyers and sellers can review properties from the privacy of their own homes, without the need to conduct the "house hunting" execercise of the past. Now, home buyer can narrow searches on the internet by entering parameters that can select home size, geographic areas, tax rates and much more.

Today's technically savvy consumer can view photo galleries online, conduct virtual tours of listings and obtain informational breakdowns related to apexes of a specific property. This process in the past could take days or weeks and now had been reduced to a few strokes of the keyboard.

This development has given buyers and sellers a sense of empowerment. It allows buyers and seller to cross reference "like" properties to determine home values as well as identifying good deals in the market. It allows consumers to conduct research on their own before ever picking up the phone to speak with a broker.

As a result, this is causing agents and brokers to adapt to the information highway and participate in new technologies. Agents and brokers are now faced with the reality of having to produce real time information that can be disseminated to end users in a virtual world and available via mobile devices.

In response to the technological demands of the industry, William Meier Real Estate has redesigned it's website to streamline the real estate transaction process. End users of the website can expect a informational web site that creates web presence, more visits, new leads in new markets, new sales and international branding. The New Website also features social media links to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as well as a RSS feed that users can subscribe to. In the coming weeks, William Meier Real Estate will introduce virtual tours that will give buyer and sellers the ability to conduct tours of properties online.

Survey Indicates That Selling Your Home Mid-Week During the Winter Season May Be Easier Than You Think

2012-01-27T18:43:00.000-08:00

In the Real Estate Section of the New York Times this week, there was an article that challenged the myth that houses on the market during the winter were like a "clearance rack" and that winter is the worst time of the year for home owners to consider selling their homes.

In a survey of over 750,000 homes sold a survey showed that winter is better time of year to sell than you think. The survey concludes that homeowner who list during the winter have less competition, so your property is more likely to receive more attention. Nationwide statistic show that Fridays are the most profitable day of the week during the cold months of winter.

On Long Island, a recent MLS survey yielded that Wednesday's in March produced the greatest number of home sales. Further statistics indicate that properties listed at the tail end of winter tend to sell the fastest, because come March, more homes are introduced to the market in anticipation of spring.

Overall, the analysis indicates that homes listed on a Wednesday result in the fastest selling times -- with an average of 121 days on the market. Sellers are basically more optimistic early in the week. In addition homes that sell during the winter season tend to sell closer to their listing price during this period. The Holidays also provide a spike in on-line shoppers who spend free time perusing the internet and reviewing potential homes to purchase.

So if you are considering listing your home, but think winter is not the best time to do it, call us at William Meier Real Estate at 516-897-4888 to receive the optimum exposure for you home this winter season.
