Belmont's Beautiful Mountain Blog Revisited

 

In 2008 we began several new series on our blog site. Most of our content centered around the turbulent real estate market on the Peninsula, but we also endeavored to comment about the market in general and small town happenings in Belmont.

Some of our posts simply required too much time away from the business of selling homes, and we’ve decided to eliminate a few of those.

What we will be discontinuing is the weekly update of new listings and sales. Rather, we encourage you now to subscribe to our automated system for getting listing alerts in real time—including new listings and recent sales; we just felt that we were being a little redundant and this trade-off will allow us more time to concentrate on our business.

You can still count on getting a monthly wrap-up of homes that have sold. We feature Belmont home sales in detail on this blog site and you can always get surrounding cities and the entire San Mateo county stats at our MorganHomes.com web site under “How’s the Market”; we also implemented the Fusion style graphs that are more interactive and interesting.

We’ll continue to add occasional posts in our series “Frequently Unasked Questions” whenever we stumble across an issue we think you should know about, and probably don’t.

 

The Podcasts we began in 2008 will still be around when we want to discuss the market in general and we hope that you continue to stay tuned to those.

We think this more focused and succinct blog format will help our readers get the real estate information they want, and know that they can rely on our regular posts whicht have attracted the most readership.

Thanks for being patient as we enjoy an exciting 2009.

Thanks for the feedback. Touring each week in order to see all of the new listings is an essential part of being a well informed agent. We tour every home in Belmont each week in order to be knowledgeable about our local market. We also tour nearby cities for specific clients and to keep abreast of the market in general. As you can imagine, that’s very time consuming and expensive.
We report back to our clients with specific information on the homes we felt might best suit their needs.
The weekly new listing posts began simply take up too much of our time and although it does add value, our clients are already privy to our insight with weekly updates on homes we toured for them.
If you’d like more information on a specific property you see pop up on your listing alert, drop us an email and we’ll get right back to you with more details. We’d be glad to keep an eye out for the right home for you.
Thanks for checking in with us and we always appreciate hearing from our readers.

I'm bummed you won't be doing the weekly market updates. I get the auto-listing updates from another source but always read your updates because of the added commentary on the new listings. I felt like I was getting a real estate expert's opinion. It's like the difference between just getting the scores from the games vs. having the sports reporter give the analysis and put it all into context. Or I saw your weekly updates adding the extra sauce to turn a bit of data into information.
