Is The Housing Market Bottoming? It Looks Good On The Mobile Marketing Front

This week brought some more of the much talked about 'Green Shoots,' this time in the all important housing market:

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in April, rose 6.7 percent to 90.3 from a reading of 84.6 in March, and is 3.2 percent above April 2008 when it was 87.5.

At Club Texting, in the last few weeks, we've also seen a giant uptick in the number of real estate brokerages signing up for our mobile marketing services. What can mobile marketing do for real estate brokerages?

Club Texting's Real Estate Text Messaging Software System allows house hunters to request and instantly receive property listing information using their mobile phones. Home sellers reach more buyers, agents close more sales, and home buyers, presented with unprecedented access to information, generate more leads.
