Bill on Marketing

Today is the final deadline day to jump on the Fresh Ideas home tour, September 18th – 26th.  Do not miss out on a $200,000 media blitz;  special tab section in three newspapers covering King, Pierce & Snohomish Counties;  seven radio stations and special signage all for a mere $995 per home/community.  If your name isn’t one of the 75 or so communities that have signed up (see following sample), contact Micki Christensen, the New Home Council, at 425.647.0959, or email at micki@thenewhomecouncil.com.  Today.

John Burns brings us sobering, yet realistic news and trends about our industry.  Burns says home buying activity has dropped 30% since the expiration of the tax credit and home prices nationwide have dropped another 3% since the end of April. Most builders we talk to tend to believe (1) the recovery will take several years; and (2) the government incentive programs possibly hurt rather than helped our industry, for all kinds of differing reasons.  Shall we all move to Bremerton? Or Bend?
