I can’t speak for everyone, but I assure you that in our case all the homes in our print ads are actually for sale when the decision is made to include them.  It takes time to physically print homes magazines and newspaper ads, which makes it impossible to ensure that all the properties listed for sale in those venues are still available when the ad is put out for public consumption.

 

The best way to find the most current listings—because the most desirable houses sell quickly in any market—is to do your search online.  Any competent real estate agent or team will have a tool on their website that allows you to search all available MLS listings in real time.  Feel free to use ours anytime, just click on the menu bar above where it says Search Local Listings.

 

If you already have an idea of what you’re looking for in a house, you can take your search to the next level.  Many Realtors—including the Jones Team—offer an auto-notification option for home shoppers.  You give the agent some basic criteria and they plug it into a computerized system that will automatically email you details on any house that meets your search rules.  It’s a great way to see everything you may like as it is listed so you can jump on your next dream house before the competition beats you to it.
