Are you finding that even the boomers aren’t buying in today’s housing market? With accumulated wealth and plenty of home equity, many of these consumers easily qualify to buy a new home and have no trouble getting a mortgage. However, anxiety about selling their current homes is a major obstacle. So how do you persuade your potential 50+ customers that now really is a good time to buy?

 

Tune into the Get Hesitant Boomers to Buy Now! audio seminar coming up Tuesday, Aug. 12, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT. Presented by the National Association of Home Builders and the NAHB 50+ Housing Council, this interactive program will show you ways to overcome these objections and motivate your 50+ buyer-prospects to move forward despite today's market conditions. 

 

Participate and hear about: 

  • Why it’s more effective to rely on your strengths to motivate your prospects rather than take a reactive stance to the down market  
  • The psychology of today’s consumers and how to conquer their fears about buying in the current market
  • Ways to educate buyers about their financial portfolio and why they might not have to wait
  • Building value and offering incentives that won’t break the bank
  • Making it easier for your buyers to sell their existing home

    Moderator – Rich Carlson, CAASH, MIRM, CMP, Carlson Communications, Northborough , Mass.
    Speaker – Deborah Blake,
    Pulte Homes/Del Webb, Scottsdale , Ariz.
