Price Reductions Average 10.4%

Real estate research site Trulia.com says 24.6 percent of current homes on the market in the United States as of July 1, have had at least one price cut, totaling $27.1 billion in reductions.
The average price-reduced home has had a 10.4 percent reduction, down slightly from 10.6 percent as of June 1. Some areas appear to be stabilizing quickly with the overall number and percentage of price reductions declining, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
“All real estate is local and we’re seeing glimmers of hope as price stabilization occurs in major cities across the nation, including some of the earliest hit cities that have experienced huge declines in the past few years,” says Trulia CEO Pete Flint.
The top-10 cities with the most price reductions as of July 1 are:

1. Jacksonville, Fla., 39 percent
2. Boston, 35 percent
3. Minneapolis, 33 percent
4. Milwaukee, 33 percent
5. Honolulu, 33 percent
6. Tucson, Ariz., 31 percent
7. Chicago, 31 percent
8. New York, 31 percent
9. Austin, Texas, 31 percent
10. Raleigh, N.C., 31 percent

Your Own Agent Website

In cooperation with alamode.com, we have made arrangements for agents to obtain their own FREE web site on the internet. This basic site allows for your listings to be showcased, links to many free reports for your clients, loan information, and much more. Many distinct style choices are available. To view an example of what one local agent chose, CLICK HERE to view his new web site. We will help you all along with way. First of all, you must choose a URL. I always suggest that you buy your own name. After all, your name is what you want people to remember, right?
You may even want to buy 2 URL's, one your name, and one having something to do with what you do or where you work, i.e. BrettSellsHouses, TeresaSellsPierce, TheWBHomeTeam, etc. This helps people doing searches to find you. Think small and easy to remember (again, think your name), since your business card may not be able to hold http://www.isellhomesinandaroundtacomawaandvacinity.agentxsites.com (not a real site, I hope).
Also, if you choose to upgrade your site, I have made arrangements for a reduced price for you, so don't just upgrade off of the site and end up paying $499. I can get the site for $299.00. Contact me for info first should you choose to do this.
Internet presence is extremely important and if you think that people go to your branded broker website just to look at pictures of agents to pick one they want to work with, think again, unless you look like Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt. (Sorry, had to throw that in). People want to see homes!
