Popular Condo Site Offers Free Listing Service

“Popular condo site offers free listing service”

“www.AffordableCondos.com has launched its national portal for free condo listings accepting over 1,200 individual postings from condo owners and real estate professionals in its first three weeks. It’s being dubbed the “Craig’s List” of the condo market because of its user-friendly platform which connects buyers directly with real estate professionals and condo owners.”

Have you seen a $35,000 condo lately? Try Houston, Texas where you can actually get a charming 650 Sqft One Bedroom with parking! How about San Diego, California under $180,000? Or Ft. Lauderdale, Florida under $100,000? Yes and many more surprising options are now available! States such as Wisconsin and Utah are also coming online and the pictures on the site are worth a thousand words: mountain backdrops, considerable square footage, high-end upgrades and many more details that don’t come to mind when one thinks of affordable condos. Relativity is key and the site is providing buyers with a revealing comparison of what they can get for their money.

The verdict is in, we’re headed for a long winter in the real estate market and thousands of condo units are starting to compete in pricing and location. During the last 5 years, the housing market sky-rocketed and with it, many condo developments and conversions popped up throughout the country. The condominium’s rise in popularity was mainly attributed to their price point as vacant land became more expensive and single family homes were out of reach for many buyers.

Today real estate professionals and condo owners face a challenge when trying to market their listings, sometimes spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars to compete for exposure in newspapers, mailing campaigns and on the internet as the local Multiple Listing Services (MLS) no longer yield the quick results of the past. To make matters more complicated, many real estate websites find it next to impossible to rank among the top ten results of major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Currently, www.AffordableCondos.com holds first place for the key words “affordable condos” on the results for all three major search engines.

The site originally founded by CEO Hemley Gonzalez in 2003 for a South Florida brokerage firm, has quickly gained popularity in states like California, Nevada, Texas, Pennsylvania and many others, reporting an average of over 45,000 unique visitors monthly.
