The New Market Reality: What does it take to make it?

In a two-part special report on The New Market Reality released last week, Inman News explores how some industry participants are capitalizing on market trends, developing niches and engaging in other strategies to become the creators, and not the victims, of the new market reality.

• "Agents, brokers wrestle with challenging market" details how some real estate professionals are coping with an increase in foreclosure-related sales and other impacts from the housing downturn. In some cases, agents have specialized or diversified their business to keep busy.

• "MLSs, brokers feed growth of listing portals" explores how some online real estate sites are finding growth in property listings information and attracting more visitors or market share even while home sales decline nationally.
