Real Estate and Technology

By Jeff Adolph

Residential Real Estate

In the late 1990s, and early 2000s, realtors, and home buyers and sellers all knew about the Internet and its many applications, but many were reluctant to use this new technology.

In fact, it took many years for real estate buyers and sellers to figure out that they could simply sit and research their chosen market at home, rather than getting into their cars, and driving to open homes, and reading a multitude of listing magazines and newspapers to find out what they needed to know.

Today, realtors, and home buyers and sellers have a wealth of information at their fingertips, and most have harnessed the power that the Internet provides, such as social networking applications, as well as home listing services, real estate agent listings directories, and home mortgage providers that suit their particular needs and circumstances. And with the Internet being such a visual medium, most of these prospective home buyers and sellers are able to see exactly what their money will buy, and what their home could be valued at, before they even contemplate negotiating any deals.

As Mathew Genovese, a realtor said in a recent article published by Jackson NJ, "Currently, more than 75% of all home searches begin on-line. And surveys are showing that those home buyers who are looking on-line are going right past listings that do not feature multiple pictures. And surveys are showing that those home buyers who are looking on-line are going right past listings that do not feature multiple pictures."

And I just read that the gay community is in the forefront of those who have computers (and use them!). Obviously, with the hardware in hand and such a widespread opportunity, the chances of hitting on just the right home are far greater.

For those shopping in 2009, the wealth of information is sometimes overwhelming, but never really greater than necessary. Technology has become our friend in our continued search for a comfortable resting place.

By the way, there are absolutely no puns in this commentary.
