I have officially made it Cell Phone. No more Mobile Phone. No more Smart Phone. Thank God. I can't handle anymore feedback on this topic. Haha. But I do appreciate it folks. I love feedback. Especially if it makes us better. Take care.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for a nice response. However, you should probably go with using the “cellphone apps” description to pull in more SEO on your site. Nobody uses the term “Smart phone apps” either! Use words and phrases that people would most likely be searching for. cheers, wish you well.

Bob, you are right. I'm dating myself, but in 1980 I was just 3 yrs old, and I certainly don't call them mobile phones either. I was simply trying to be bland and general. On our website, http://www.TheScvAgents.com, we call it Smart Phone App…because it really only works on Smart Phones that receive internet, and not all “cell phones” or “mobile phones”. I will change this post's terminology….thanks for making me think this morning. Happy New Year! – Robert

Who uses the term “mobile phone”?

Wouldn't it be “cellphone apps”?? I've never heard anyone say to me “hey, did you check out this new MOBILE PHONE APP?” Or “can I make a call on your “MOBILE PHONE”? This is 1980 cellphone descriptions…

In the 21st century, the term is “Cellphone”, not “mobile phone”.

Just me two cents…

Hi Drive66…larger homes like the ones you mentioned, certainly have a higher degree of difficulty to sell. I should have been a bit more clear about which homes, in general, are flying off the shelf, but I was just trying to be brief about it all…it does however feel like all of them are for me since I do this almost 7 days a week, but MOSTLY its the homes priced under $500k. Homes above $500k, do tend to sit longer, and they do tend to be larger in sq ft such as the ones you generically described. If you told me exactly which homes you're referring to, I could probably tell you why they are sitting for as long as you're eluding to. I'm sure there is a reason. You say they are reasonably priced, but that is subjective…they may or may not be. Homes above $500k can sell very fast as well in this market…they don't have to be ridiculously under-priced to do so either. They must be priced competitively though, vs their competition, because there are just fewer buyers for the expensive homes these days, than there are for less expensive homes. Many 1st time buyers out there! Thanks for the comment!

There are three homes in my community for sale. One is a very suspicious short sale awaiting court approval. It seems they are selling to family members. The other two have been on the market for months and months. These are practically brand new, beautiful homes at reasonable prices. Why aren't they “flying off the shelf within days or weeks of being listed”. What is the going rate for a 2007, 3000+sf home in Santa Clarita?
