Home Staging – From Stagnant to Sold
What makes the difference between a hard-to-sell listing, and one that appeals to the widest possible range of buyers? Staging! This concept is especially important in today’s market flooded with houses owned by motivated sellers, including the rising numbers of foreclosures. When it’s a buyer’s market and the competition is fierce, staging is one of the finest tools. This topic will be covered with visual slides and practical suggestions, followed by a Q&A to bring it “home” to your particular concerns.

Forecasting of Home Values
Posted by: | CommentsNational Economic Outlook By Ingo Winzer April 11, 2012
The recovery keeps marching on, and we’re likely to see more of the same in coming months. What’s most reassuring about the statistics in the past six months is that they’re consistent; we’re not seeing jobs up one month, down the next, or car sales strong in January, weak in February. It’s a real recovery. The big missing piece of the recovery, so far, is real estate, where there are 3 million fewer jobs than at the height of the boom. But that will change in the next year. Our Housing Demand index, which went into Contraction in mid-2006 and stayed there for 64 months, has finally switched to Expansion. The index is tied to hiring by single-family home builders, mainly small operators who are very sensitive to demand in their local market. I think we’ll see a strange housing market for the next couple of years, where foreclosures and vacancies continue at the same time as new construction grows rapidly. The details of the March job figures confirm that business is picking up because consumers are buying again. Jobs increased 2 percent in manufacturing in the past year, including 8 percent in the auto industry. Jobs were up only 1 percent in retail, but 3 percent at restaurants and bars. Temporary jobs were up 9 percent and health care jobs 2.5 percent. The only main sector lagging behind was government, where jobs decreased 1 percent, largely at the local level. The unemployment rate also ticked down to 8.2 percent and could easily be 7.5 percent in six months.
