Tales from the Front: San Francisco Real Estate Market Getting “Interesting”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 7, 2005 -- Some San Francisco real estate agents can literally feel the market changing these days. The “tour sheet,” the weekly list of new properties available for agents to preview, has jumped from an average of 20-25 to almost 50 pages—and some agents are beginning to feel the weight.

“For reasonably priced properties, the market is still strong- right now,” notes Michael LaPeter, a San Francisco Realtor® who currently has listings in both South Beach and the Inner Mission District. “On the buyer side, I’ve got clients who are still competing on single family homes against multiple offers.” As the inventory increases, however, it remains to be seen how many buyers will be left.

I don't think it remains to be seen at all. It's a brutal fact of markets: When there's less money chasing more properties, prices fall. That's just the way markets work.

New Technology to Bring Home Results for Real Estate Agents

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) November 4, 2005 -- Real estate professionals will benefit from a new software technology called PowerAgentPro, which was launched October 28 during the annual REALTORS® Conference & Expo in San Francisco, CA. PowerAgentPro will bring home real results for real estate agents and investors with a simple-to-use, Web-based business manager, Web site builder, property manager, marketing manager, and real estate power tools like calculators, a comprehensive legal library, helpful forms, and streamlined business processes.
A lot of interesting new technological solutions came out of the San Francisco Expo. This is one of those packages that shows up after the first adapters are already wallowing in the new stuff. This package is for smaller shops or individual brokers who want to present an internet front equal to those custom jobbies slapped together by the Coldwell Banker and Remax affiliates of the world.
