I just wanted to let you know that I have a few seats still available for the first time Boston homebuyer seminar I am holding at my office next week.  Seminar is probably not the right word, since it will be a fairly small, interactive presentation (actually more of a discussion and Q&A, I hope), but that's what we're calling it I guess!  We'll have food (and beer!) and just talk about the market conditions and the buying process.  Some of the topics we'll cover:

• Renting vs. Buying: Whether it even makes sense for you to buy right now

• Homebuying process and timeline: How long it actually takes to buy

• Working with a buyer agent: How it works and whether or not you really need one

• What mortgages are still available and how much cash you need to buy

• Using neighborhood level data (like discount ratios and real time trend graphs) to value properties

• Negotiating: How to craft your offer to drive a hard bargain

• Top 10 online resources to aid your home search

Hope to see you there!
