RE/MAX gets Times Square treatment again!
May 04, 2012, by RE/MAX Insight
RE/MAX gets the Times Square treatment yet again (see photo below)! The PR Newswire building in New York City on Tuesday afternoon displayed the results of the second RE/MAX Market Insights quarterly agent survey, released in April.
The summary graphic, which appears in the just-released edition of ABOVE magazine, made a bold statement to passersby in Times Square about homebuying and selling activity reported by RE/MAX agents in March.

Key findings include:
* Price rebound: 68% say prices will be higher by the end of 2012.
* Today’s prices: 29% below the peak reached during the housing bubble.
* Demand for lower-priced properties: 80% of agents say it’s good or very good.
* Demand for homes in the middle-price ranges: 71% rate it as fair to good.
* Demand for high-priced homes: 58% call it poor to fair.
A snapshot of today’s homebuyers served by RE/MAX agents:
* Roughly one third are first-time buyers. Another third are homeowners looking to sell so they can move up or downsize. * The remainder are mostly investors, who believe the market has hit bottom.
One in five buyers pays cash, receiving an average discount of 15%.
