We have found that not only do we need to reach out to our buying demographic, we need to reach out to the adult children of those buyers. I, for one, am one of those adult children and I find myself constantly online looking for a place for my parents. When I find interesting places, I e-mail them the web address and they look for themselves. Hope this helps.

Hopefully - the tough market is forcing some builders to shift their thinking. The best thing you can do is site specifics. Use the statistics from NAR studies, Pew Internet and more to show that the buyers are definitely online. It’s a challenge.

It seems to me that so many that I speak to are "stuck" in the traditional marketing methods and give no credence to the Generation X & Y buyers that are online looking for their new or first home. What is your advice on convincing them and in what ways would you suggest marketing to this new demographic? Hi Mike
