Luxury Homes: Know Your Market and Your Consumers | Bloomington Art Center | 2.00 CE Hours
Whether or not you're already working with luxury home clients, or intend to in the future, this course will help REALTORS® gain insight into the luxury real estate market. Questions about luxury homes will be addressed such as:
- What makes a home a "luxury home"?
- What do I need to know about this specific home market?
- How are luxury home consumers different?
By learning the answers to these questions, REALTORS® will be able to better serve these home buyers and sellers. For example, they'll learn best practices for listing a luxury home, so that the right audience will see it. They'll also learn best practices for narrowing down searches for luxury home buyers. After taking a dive into understanding the luxury home market attendees will feel more equipped than ever to work with luxury home consumers.

WEEKLY MARKET ACTIVITY REPORT
"Market trends have remained steady for the last couple of years, which has allowed residential real estate to flourish in terms of sales activity and buyer demand. Even when total sales are not measuring forward in year-over-year comparisons, it is evident that the market is responding positively to wider economic indicators. Higher prices, fewer days on market and lower months of supply are all usual indicators of healthy activity." | MORE
