Because many of the leading online real estate sites have opted to source listings directly from brokers, rather than becoming brokers themselves and displaying listings via IDX, there are many gaps in the inventory they display. Consumers are either unaware of this issue, and make life-changing decisions with incomplete information, or throw down their stone and start hopping. – 1000Watt Blog – Online Real Estate’s Dirty Little Secret – Aug. 11th, 2008

Interesting Post by Dan Green – What Mortgages will look like in 30 Days
January 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Really interesting post by Dan Green over at The Mortgage Reports Blog talking about what he thinks will go on in the Mortgage World over the next 30 days.
The group’s 30-day prediction for mortgage rates:
* 31% predict mortgage rates will increase
* 31% predict mortgage rates will decrease
* 38% predict mortgage rates will remain unchanged
I am predicting that rates will increase over the next 30 days. My prediction may not be appropriate for your individual situation and it may be wrong, too.

The years to come in Real Estate will not be easy, will not always be fun, and sometimes… will be heart wrenching for us and our clients. When these elements come to our lives, it’s easy to get derailed and come down hard on ourselves. So remember these simple words as rules to live by and i believe it will help us all get through this difficult time.
Why the idea of 2.0 might have a long way to go.

To those of us that have made our job, livelihood or passion around this modern day technology, most of this is pretty basic. We look to Mashable or other sites to see how they have improved upon it or what the latest “plugin” is to take us to the next level. But… what about the other 90% of the world? What about the 40+ consumer that doesn’t get it or doesn’t think that social media is anything more than a way for high school kids to bitch about their teachers and share pictures?
