Good News for Real Estate Buyers and Sellers in the Boston Market

The sky is not falling and yes, it's still possible to sell your home for a good price. It's also possible to obtain a good deal on a new home in areas of the country where prices are appreciating or the cost of living is affordable. From choosing the right place to build a dream home to tips on selling your home, visitors to the Live South Show will hear good news about the real estate market.

"If you're shopping for housing, now is an ideal time to get what you want at a great price," says Michael Hackeling, CEO of RPI Media. "If you think like an investor, why not reposition your home equity to an area which is still appreciating or the cost of living is lower. As an added bonus you can enjoy a warmer climate and a more relaxing lifestyle." Hackeling says many appreciating areas also tend to be the nicest places to live, work, play or retire.

Produced by RPI Media, the show will be held at the Boston Marriott Burlington. The show offers visitors a convenient way to consider and compare places and the lifestyles they can afford. Specifically, how where you live affects how you live. Climate, geography, cost of living, taxes, congestion, pollution and area amenities are all factors which affect quality of life. Discover affordable retirement towns, top places to live as well as learn how to get top dollar when selling a home. Community representatives will be on- site to answer questions about properties and presentations on "How to Choose" and "Real Estate Good News" (including tips for selling your home) will be offered.

The show runs March 7-9 at the Boston Marriott Burlington. RSVP early to request free tickets @ www.livesouthshows.com or call 888-248-3252.
