Press Release Source: Homestore, Inc.


Realtor.com and NRT Incorporated Extend Comprehensive Online Marketing Agreement for Two Additional Years
Wednesday March 22, 9:15 am ET


WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2006--Realtor.com, the official Web site of the National Association of Realtors, has extended its marketing agreement with NRT Incorporated, which substantially enhances the presence of NRT's local operating companies on Realtor.com, for an additional two years. NRT, a subsidiary of Cendant Corporation (NYSE:CD - News), owns and operates premier residential real estate brokerage companies in more than 35 major metropolitan markets in the United States and the United Kingdom under the banner of the Coldwell Banker®, ERA® and Sotheby's International Realty® brands, as well as The Corcoran Group and The Sunshine Group.

The extension agreement ensures that all of NRT's listings will be enhanced through March 2008 and surrenders a portion of the previously committed Realtor.com display advertising inventory, including inventory in markets that have been sold out, for resale to other customers. The Company will recognize a minimum of $24.7 million in revenue over the new two-year term. The extension agreement also calls for NRT to partner with Realtor.com in the sale of Realtor.com's marketing solutions by sponsoring and hosting events for NRT's agents.

The extension of the marketing agreement comes at the end of a one-year agreement that was entered into in February 2005. At that time, NRT agreed to enhance all of their listings on Realtor.com and to utilize a significant amount of Realtor.com's display advertising inventory. NRT also secured two one-year renewal options at fixed prices. Had each of the options been exercised, the total value of the original agreement would have been at least $38 million over three years.

"We are pleased that NRT has decided to commit now to this marketing program through March 2008," said Allan Dalton, chief executive officer and president of Realtor.com. "By extending our marketing agreement with NRT, we will continue to allow millions of prospective home buyers to enjoy access to NRT's enhanced listings on Realtor.com, while enabling NRT to offer their clients the benefits associated with a comprehensive online marketing system."

Homestore's total revenue associated with the initial one-year agreement and the newly-signed extension agreement will be above 90 percent of the potential revenue associated with the initial agreement announced last year, while committing a smaller share of Realtor.com's display advertising inventory, eliminating any contract renewal risk in 2007, and engaging NRT to assist in the marketing of additional Realtor.com marketing solutions directly to their agents.

Yesterday, Homestore filed with the SEC a report on Form 8-K that briefly describes the material terms and conditions of the extension agreement. On the Net: http://ir.homestore.com.

HOMS new ticker symbol MOVE.......



As of today, Homestore.com has a new name, Move.com (Nasdaq: MOVE - News), and a new ticker symbol. The change is more than cosmetic. The company aims to be the ultimate search engine for the real estate industry, using performance-based marketing like Google (Nasdaq: GOOG - News).



The rechristened company posted its first-quarter results Tuesday. Revenues increased 22% to $69 million, but the company posted a loss of $2 million, or $0.01 per share. That compares to a $395,000 loss, with break-even EPS, in the year-ago period. Excluding expenses for stock options, net income would have been $1.3 million in the first quarter; EBITDA was $3.9 million.

Since 1996, the company has been a leading portal for real estate consumers and professionals. Its competitive advantage lies in its exclusive relationship with the National Association of Realtors, giving Move.com a database of more than 2.5 million real estate listings.

Move.com's goal of expanding its market reach has largely fueled its name change. Roughly 18 million households move each year. Whether they're searching, buying, selling, renting, financing, moving, settling in, or nesting, they're the targets of more than $20 billion in annual advertising. With a reported 77% of homeowners online, Move.com wants to bring much more of those dollars to its site.

Move.com realizes that online users want comprehensive listings when they search for homes and rentals. It will now provide full access to its listings, making money from Realtors through a cost-per-click model.

This transition could provide a nice boost to Move.com's business, if similar efforts at other companies are any indication. During the last year, Bankrate (Nasdaq: RATE - News) revamped its website and adopted more performance-based marketing; since the changes, the company has posted strong profitability, and its stock price has risen to $49.45 from $12.45.

Of course, the online real estate market is highly competitive, and execution will be critical for Move.com. But the good news, at least, is that the company is moving in the right direction.

Symbol changed to MOVE, outlook still looks good....
Expected to turn profit of 2c in '06 instead of losses in the last two years. Projected to earn 18c in '07 and 34c in '08. Over the next few years, earnings are expected to grow at a 42% growth rate and a PEG ratio of 0.7 based on '07 earnings. Technically, HOMS is basing in a narrow trading range between 5 and 7. So the jury is still out till it breaks out from this range. Despite what CS database says, MOVE is in the relocation segment of the real estate business. It provides an online service that enables consumers to find real estate listings and other content related to residential real estate, moving and relocation. Its primary consumer Websites include REALTOR.com, the official site of the National Association of Realtors (NAR); HomeBuilder.com, the official new home listing site of the National Association of Homebuilders; RENTNET, an apartment, corporate housing and self-storage resource; SeniorHousingNettm.com, a comprehensive resource for seniors; and Homestore.com, a home information resource site.

Worth an update....... ;D ;)
Ascending Triangle (continuation)..... and it has broken out.

52wk Range: 3.73 - 7.08
Volume: 1,020,425
Avg Vol (3m): 695,031

Ascending Triangle (Continuation)
About the pattern for your benefit....... ;)

The ascending triangle is a bullish formation that usually forms during an uptrend as a continuation pattern. There are instances when ascending triangles form as reversal patterns at the end of a downtrend, but they are typically continuation patterns. Regardless of where they form, ascending triangles are bullish patterns that indicate accumulation.

Because of its shape, the pattern can also be referred to as a right-angle triangle. Two or more equal highs form a horizontal line at the top. Two or more rising troughs form an ascending trend line that converges on the horizontal line as it rises. If both lines were extended right, the ascending trend line could act as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. If a perpendicular line were drawn extending down from the left end of the horizontal line, a right triangle would form.

In contrast to the symmetrical triangle, an ascending triangle has a definitive bullish bias before the actual breakout. If you will recall, the symmetrical triangle is a neutral formation that relies on the impending breakout to dictate the direction of the next move. On the ascending triangle, the horizontal line represents overhead supply that prevents the security from moving past a certain level. It is as if a large sell order has been placed at this level and it is taking a number of weeks or months to execute, thus preventing the price from rising further. Even though the price cannot rise past this level, the reaction lows continue to rise. It is these higher lows that indicate increased buying pressure and give the ascending triangle its bullish bias.
