If you're new to Cyberhomes, you are probably familiar with the "Classic" Cyberhomes start page, which includes links to the blog, news and real estate advice. The page also spotlights noteworthy housing-market trends, like neighborhoods with the highest annual appreciation in home value, and most frequently viewed real estate listings on Cyberhomes.com. (At last look yesterday, the Elizabethtown, Pa., home of reality TV stars Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus Eight" was the top-viewed listing, with about 550 views.)
But did you know that you can customize the start page to create a one-stop spot to meet all of your real estate data needs? If you are looking to sell your home, you may want to customize your Cyberhomes start page with a widget showing home sales and values in your current neighborhood. If you are planning to buy a home, you could add widgets for sales, foreclosures and schools in neighborhoods you are targeting for your upcoming move. You can swap widgets in and out at any time as your own personal real estate needs change.
To get started, just click on "Personalized Homepage" in the upper right-hand corner of your Classic homepage. For a guided tour on how to customize your Cyberhomes start page, check out this Cyberhomesblog video by Cyberhomes Social Media Director Reggie Nicolay.—Lauren Baier Kim
