LivePads.com Real Estate Facebook Application
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) October 16, 2007 -- LivePads.com, a real estate web 2.0 site, launched today the first ever robust real estate search application on the Facebook platform. The LivePads Facebook Application allows Facebook users to search for homes or to post a home for sale on their profile.
Leveraging the power of Facebook, LivePads assists users in the buying and selling of homes. As a homebuyer, a Facebook user can add the LivePads Facebook application to their profile. Once added, the homebuyer will enter his or her house criteria and the powerful search engine will crawl all real estate sites for houses that match the search criteria. When buyers find houses they like, they can save the houses to their profiles. This powerful feature allows users to file houses so they can quickly access them in the future, share their saved houses with their realtors and request more information, and also share their saved houses with their networks of friends.
The second piece of the application is geared toward home sellers and realtors. As realtors, users can add their current real estate inventories to their Facebook profiles. Realtors have the ability to send houses to their clients via the Facebook network. As home sellers, users can list their homes for sale on their profiles. Users then have the option to send their houses for sale to users in their friend lists. Once another user receives the request, they also have the option to display the home for sale along with details, with another option to share with their friend list. This adds more marketing and sales opportunities for the home seller by having their home being displayed on multiple Facebook profiles. Finally, if a user notices one of their friends has a house for sale and knows of another friend that is looking for a house, the user will have the ability to send the house to another user's Facebook profile.
Facebook users communicate and share information through the social graph, the network of connections and relationships between people. Facebook is the sixth-most trafficked website in the United States. More than 50 percent of Facebook users return to the site each day. "Facebook Platform creates an ecosystem for developers to build applications that deeply integrate into Facebook and use its social graph," said Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Facebook. "By enabling developers to make applications within Facebook, we're working together to create a better utility for millions of people."

Real Estate Right Now
In the past few years, we?ve watched housing prices skyrocket all over the U.S. It definitely seems to be a seller?s market, but what are buyers supposed to do? Well, if the big names in business are correct, the market is beginning to turn. People who bought homes out of their price range are beginning to water down the market. Baby Boomers, the biggest group of retirees ever, are downsizing. The older members of the generation are opting for community housing, and even apartments, where upkeep is virtually nonexistent. They?re dumping their mortgages and adding to the tide of available houses. This, experts predict, is the beginning of a huge opportunity for people prepared to buy real estate.

There is another way!Some savvy investors look for good homes that are poorly landscaped and after spending a couple of thousand dollars or less put the property right back on the market for much more money and sell it.
