I didn’t even think about football when I signed up to do open houses this weekend. I just did my normal routine of 6 open houses. I do 2 Sundays now because so few people are doing them in our area. They aren’t that busy but you meet the dedicated b buyers. I really wanted to just dispel the rumor if I could about open houses and how they don’t do any good. Well this is what I said in the blog: I just wanted to follow up on how I did today. I had 3 groups the first open house. One was a listing I hope I will be getting to list this spring!

Listing with a FSBO company or selling the home yourself can save you money. The commission can be less and you can still get your house sold.

Internet traffic grows 53 percent from 2007 Some U.S. Internet providers say they are struggling with expansion NEW YORK - International Internet traffic kept growing in the last year, but at a slower rate than before, and carriers more than kept pace by adding more capacity, a research firm said Wednesday. The findings by TeleGeography Research are important because some U.S. Internet service providers say they are struggling with the expansion of online traffic, and are imposing monthly download limits on heavy users. The figures from TeleGeography don't exactly correlate to average Internet usage by U.S. households, but give an indication of wider trends.   You can read the rest of the story here.  If the internet is important to you in finding a home in Eau Claire Wisconsin and the ... 09/04/2008
