Paper vs email - your format decision could be determined by your budget. Both paper and emails have their merits and challenges:

Paper newsletters are a tangible item that can impress readers making use of their physical presence. They can be shared with others, left in waiting rooms, and given out at client meetings. They're also expensive to produce.
Email newsletters are less expensive and less formal. Many people disregard email newsletters which can be poorly designed or arrive with spam-like frequency.

It is a budget-friendly option for communicating with clients but you should consider what clients will best be served with this format.

Real estate news - range from the latest data on interest trends, home values, neighborhood statistics.
Listing posts - include a few listings that could be of interest to your prospects. Make sure you include a link with the listings back to your site.
