Who Is Looking To Buy A Home In Western Mass?

It certainly feels good to see traffic on MA4salebyowner.com is on the upswing. The holidays are over, and three major snow storms are behind us. A recent Daily Hampshire Gazette article pointed to our local real estate market here in the Pioneer Valley as being stable, and that we've been pretty lucky, compared to the eastern end of the state. It as helped that our major industries center around higher education and health care, not the technology sector.

As buyers begin to come out, sellers need to join the party. April is generally the start of the season, but this year we predict an earlier start due to the length of time it may take to sell. Of course, real estate agents are poised to fight for new listings and do their best to dissuade sellers from striking out on their own. One of the talking points agents use is to tell sellers that they can't get wide exposure when selling by owner. We're here to say they're wrong. Just yesterday we tracked our website visitors for about an hour and wrote down where they came from. Take heed -- Realtor Association of Pioneer Valley!

Here's a sampling of where recent buyers are coming from:

Haverill, MA; Florence, SC; New Bedford, MA; Worcester, MA; Springfield, MA; Boston, MA; Reston, VA; Natick, MA; Northampton, MA; North Andover, MA; Phoenix, AZ; New Bedford, MA; Longmeadow, MA; Frederick, MD; San Diego, CA; Buffalo, NY; Goffstown, NH; Atlanta, GA; Chicopee, MA; and Burlington, VT

It's no accident that buyers find our website. We work hard to improve our search engine optimization so that our home sellers reach buyers naturally.
