2008 Fall Workshop Content - This powerful seminar will provide the most recent information you will need to achieve results despite the abundance of misinformation surrounding the housing market. Don’t miss this unequalled presentation that will raise your Real Estate IQ and prepare you for the housing recovery ahead.

• Housing Market Report Card
  Falling Home Prices! Rising Unsold Inventory! Subprime Foreclosures! High Gasoline Prices! A Faltering Economy! With all the focus on the challenges facing the housing market it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that home sales are certain to rebound once the current correction cycle has run its course. In fact, the market is already showing early signs of stabilization with steady sales pace and declining unsold inventory. Come and get the grades for your local market so you can educate your buyers and sellers on the latest facts and trends.
  
  
• Housing Affordability Report
  While the last few years have certainly been difficult on housing, the decline of home prices has made home buying more affordable. Come and find out how home prices and income are shaping up in your local market and why now is a good time to buy.
  
  
• Housing Bright Spots
  Despite the weakness in housing, some markets continue to exhibit low inventory and strong demand. We’ll tell you where these top performing markets are located and what they have in common with each other so you can target your business plan to these opportunities.
  
  
• Investment Counseling
  The stage is set for big changes in the New Jersey housing market that will reshape your business. And, with all the talk about falling home prices, buyers want to know where the best investment opportunities are located. We’ll tell you which markets are poised for the biggest price gains so you can confidently counsel home buyers and win their trust.
  
  
• Best CMA Practices
  With a bottom now forming to the housing market, sellers will be inclined to resume overpricing their homes. We’ll arm you with the facts you need to convince a seller that competitive pricing remains the only path to achieving the highest selling price for their home and getting their home sold.
  
  
• Understanding Tax Assessed Values
  Frustrated by buyers and sellers who point to a home’s tax assessments as an indication of market value? Declining home prices are causing a widening gap between the market and assessed values which can make your job more difficult. We’ll help you understand and communicate to both buyers and sellers why tax values are not a reliable way to determine the market value of a home.
  
  
• Home Feature & Remodeling Report
  This essential guide to home pricing will help you to understand the value-added for home features & improvements. Also covered, is the effect of adverse influences like busy roads and needed repairs.
  
  
• Market Forecast
  Will home prices continue to fall? When will buyers get off the fence and start buying again? Is home ownership still a good investment or is it better to rent? Where are mortgage rates heading and what does it mean to buyers and sellers? What about the loss of jobs on Wall Street? Find out the Why, When & Where in this forecast timeline for market recovery.
