With the MLS listings why would anyone refer to a newspaper for buying a home? Granted, there are many FSBO sites but if using a realtor, any real estate website will give you all you need, and more.
There is only one reason, some SELLERS still demand print advertising from the Broker/Realtor....
FACT: Color magazine print ads are already up to one month old at publication....if the property is priced competitively and in excellent condition, it should have sold in that time.
FACT: High end ads in the Wall Street Journal still attract some attention...but the common BUYER looks to the internet for "current" offerings.
