Don't let Your Request Go Unanswered

I am not sure how many of you actually read this but I thought this was interesting about how many e-schedulings go unanswered.  On the GRAR FB site I asked if there was any way to tell if they got caught up in spam? But they said no - I can not imagine a Realtor not responding to a showing request - so this makes me wonder - but here is a snip it from the mailing this week:

Did you know that 11,730 REQUESTS FOR SHOWINGS were sent to GRAR members over the last 65 days via the eSchedule a Showing program? Of those requests, 6,942 showings occurred and feedback was shared with the listing agent/broker in 5,242 of those instances.

2011 Rebound: Affordability High, Investors Back
Plenty of signs point to the housing market finally bottoming out and moving into rebound mode this year, experts say in a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.

What’s more, housing is at the most affordable it has been in decades nationwide — when home prices and average incomes are taken into account, according to analysts at Moody's Analytics. The cost of a house is equal to about 19 months of income for an average family, which is at the lowest level in 35 years. (P...
