Up and Running
Posted on July 7, 2008 - Filed Under Business |
After a weekend of rest, my days of impersonating Quasimodo have come to an end. Much like other two legged primates, my walking now resembles an ape instead of dog. Pain lingers, my head is tilting to the right but the extremities are painless.
My apothecary has an appointment with me for this morning, which will undoubtedly result in pain medication being dispensed. I mention this not to brag about my impending rendezvous with legalized LSD but because I imagine my posts this week will resemble “drunk blogging“. My apologies in advance if something this week is weird.
Where were we?
Ah yes, the houses.
Technology advances. Slowly for some.
I was forwarded a report, on the statistics regarding the listing for Project#2. In case the memory isn’t there, Project #2 was listed on the MLS nearly a month ago.
The Real Estate Agent sent me this graph.
I was kind of surprised.
For those that may not understand what is going on, this graph represents the number of times the listing for Project#2 has been viewed. The houses were listed towards the beginning of June and this graph breaks down the views by week.
Unfortunately this graph cannot reveal:
- How many unique visitors looked at the Listing. After all, it could have been one person who looked at the ad almost 500 times.
- How much time the visitor spent, looking at the listing. Was the majority of the views an “accidental” click or were these people dedicating their lunch hours to it?
- Who views the ads. Was this the work of 500 agents OR was it their clients.
Nearly 500 page views produced a dozen phone calls which resulted in two showings. Both showings came back to view the houses a second time. So far, no offers.
The second showing was interesting. The buyers agent told me that his clients were irritated by the number of unfinished remodels that were listed without stating they were unfinished.
If you liked that post, then try these...
Something to consider on January 23rd, 2008
Let me be perfectly honest.

The one software company that I like has a great broker representing them.
