<p>[QUOTE="-Coin_Addict-, post: 1561301, member: 41519"]My favorite series is the Eisenhower dollar coins because they are big bulky and weigh what a dollar coin should weigh.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your real estate dilemma we can all agree that no one is buying due to the economy. Primarily you need to think outside that box. What are people worried about these days that is holding them back from buying. Few things like job security, increasing prices on everything from food to gas, mortgage and interest rates...etc. The way I see it is that people aren't buying for two primary reasons they are scared of the future of the economy, or they think it will get worse which if they wait houses will go for even less. America is stuck at a stand still and people are waiting to see America go in the right direction before they are willing to buy. Assuring your buyer is your best bet. Assuring they are making a good investment, they can afford it, now is the time to buy, and etc. Good statistics and facts about the economy can be one way to help with that. I am 24 and yet not a home owner but will be looking to buy next year with my girlfriend. All my friends, most in my age group are looking to move out of their parents house and or talking about moving out. They want to take advantage of buying a home because they know for the long run, it would be a wiser choice. I know a lot of people who are older too but no one I know out of those people are looking to buy. I would focus on new buyers who are out of college and/or newlyweds looking for a long term home. They are getting help from parents and even grand parents to get started and have no kids or assets that would hold them back. They usually are looking to buy a home for the long term to start a family, which is the perfect candidate for today's housing market. Since they are first time buyers making things easy, simple to understand, and educational will help you connect with them. Making them comfortable with buying a home will ease their overwhelmed outlook on the buying process and the real-estate market. On top of that, they have friends who are buying or are going to buy soon, which they might recommend you if they received a good buying experience. If successful, you would have young buyers with your name in their phone book recommending all their young buyer friends to you which takes care of today. The beauty of it all is that these young adults most of them will plan to buy a house again in the future which once again, possibly coming back to you to buy again and their friends as well taking care of tomorrow. As for advertising I don't think you should waste your time and money. You are not going to say or do anything that is going to distinguish you from another real-estate advertisement. Word of mouth and recommendations would be best to focus on. It's true that the amount of renters has gone up but only by a little. Focusing on people who don't have mortgages and trying to persuade them that buying a home and renting it is a good investment is not going to make a dramatic difference to your sales. In conclusion a young adult usually doesn't have kids to worry about nor any large payments. Most of them have their college tuition being paid by parents and grandparents and looking to take the next step in life. Take advantage of these young buyers to your benefit and you will grow security for today and tomorrow. Don't focus on those who have no mortgage because those people have no mortgage for a reason... they don't want one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
