Greetings All,
In the future these blogs will be used to update you on market conditions as well as progress and new features added to the website. I anticipate the first market update to occur after the June quarter is over, with continuing updates on a monthly basis thereafter. Today's blog updates the progress on this website.
While few visible changes have occurred in the last couple of weeks, progress behind the scenes continues. The two main items of focus have been the text for the home page, Redding & Shasta County Real Estate, and work in the MLS Homes For Sale page. The work on the home page is nearing completion and should be finished by Monday, May 11. The text is written and all that remains is proof-reading and link additions to the text.
On the MLS Homes For Sale page the changes being worked concern the addition of subdivision names incorporated into the price range descriptions. These descriptions are meant to help the user identify which subdivisions are represented in the various price ranges. It also helps rank the appropriate pages higher in search engines when consumers search for properties by subdivision. As with all things Internet related, the proper categorizing of information helps both the website offering the information and the consumer trying to find the information. Our goal here is to make the discovery of pertinent information as seamless as possible.
Currently the work being completed on the MLS Homes For Sale page involves Redding MLS Homes For Sale. In the future work will begin on Shasta County Homes For Sale. While many of the links are already "live" at the bottom of the page, it is anticipated that the Shasta County MLS searches results will be moved to their own page where the consumer will be able to find the information more readily.
Future changes with MLS search pages will involve getting the Commercial, Investment, and Business Opportunity pages completed. The Area Information link page and the Real Estate Statistics page that users of the old site became accustomed to will also find their way back in the not-too-distant future.
Please fell free to post any comments, suggestions or critiques you may have. This is a consumer oriented site that values the input of our current and future clients.
Sincerely,
Robert Elmer
