HomeGain Celebrates 10 Years at A’s Baseball Game
Last week we “officially” celebrated our 10th anniversary by attending an Oakland A’s baseball game.
This year HomeGain received special attention from the Oakland Athletics TV crew! HomeGainers David Kim (in yellow A’s shirt) and Max (orange gorilla in center) were interviewed in front of 13,000+ people live in the stadium. See it here in this video:

Max Hits the Road in New York
Max, the orange HomeGain Gorilla, is taking a spin around the streets of New York. Max is on a Find a Realtor/What’s My Home Worth? tour that encourages New Yorkers to find and compare New York Realtors or to look up home prices on HomeGain’s instant home valuation tool. This is Max’s first motor tour since hitting the streets or San Francisco and Phoenix last year.
Max’s driver, Hoke Wolliz, is handing out free Home Sale Maximizer brochures, a useful tool for anyone planning to sell their home.
If you spot Max, let us know!
Better yet, send us a photo of the “Max Mobile” and we’ll send you a Max gorilla of your own.
Next up for Max: San Diego, California — Max will be visible there this Fall in anticipation of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Annual Conference and Expo.

HomeGain Real Estate Blog Now Available on Amazon’s Kindle
If you already have the e-reader device, Kindle, you know how cool it is and you may well be ahead of the game. You can now find the HomeGain Real Estate blog on Kindle.
If you haven’t heard about the Kindle yet, it’s about the size and weight of a paperback
book, just 1/3 of an inch - about as thin as a magazine. No PC is required, just download blog posts and books from anywhere. You can read for days without recharging. Plus, with its new text-to-speech feature, Kindle can read every newspaper, magazine, blog, and book out loud to you. Pretty nifty.
The Kindle is much more friendly on the eyes than other portable devices like the iPhone and Blackberry as the screen is larger and not back lit.
To access the HomeGain Real Estate blog on Kindle, just type in “HomeGain” in the search line on your Kindle.

HomeGain Releases 2nd Qtr Massachusetts Home Prices Survey Data
Last week, HomeGain released the national and regional results of a survey of more than 1,150 current and former HomeGain members. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President. On this real estate blog we published the national and regional 2nd Qtr results. 
Earlier this week we published the results of the California home prices, Texas home prices, Florida home prices, New York home prices, New Jersey home prices, Illinois home prices, Georgia home prices, Arizona home prices, North Carolina home prices, Virginia home prices and Washington home prices surveys.
Today we are releasing the Massachusetts home prices survey data.
Unlike home owners in the rest of the country, Massachussetts home owners have not lowered their pricing expectations. Three months ago, according to Massachussets Realtors surveyed, 29% of home owners believed that their homes were worth 10-20% more than the recommended listing price. In the current survey that percentage has risen to 31% (see question 2).
A greater percentage of potential home buyers in Massachussets now believe that homes are overpriced. In the first quarter HomeGain Realtor home prices survey 29% of home buyers thought home prices were over valued by 10-20%. In the current survey that percentage has risen to 35%. Three months ago 36% of Massachussets home buyers thought homes were fairly priced in their state vs. 31% who now believe so according to the current survey. (see question 3)
In the first quarter survey, 71% of Massachusetts Realtors believed that home prices would decline in the next six month. The current survey shows a decided shift in sentiment with only 35% of Massachusetts Realtors thinking that home prices will decline in the next six months and 58% believing they will stay the same.
Sixty-five pecent of Massachusetts Realtors somewhat approve or strongly approve of Obama’s performance as President vs. 57% of Realtors nationwide.
Set forth below is the Massachusetts home prices survey results with the national data in parenthesis:
