I just love it when my fellow community members swing by the pharmacy or see me out in public and ask me how the real estate market is treating me. This has been my best year ever and they always have a shock or smirk on their face when I tell them that EVERYTHING IS AWESOME......FOR ME.that's when they come back with, Really? Huh? Well my house has been on the market.....or my aunt in California has....blah, blah blahblahblah. First of all, If there home is on the market with a competitor, I hope that they did there homework and found an agent that delivers a product. Secondly, homes sell when the prices are right!!!!!!!!! A wise Real Estate wizard grand master once told me that people do not buy houses, they buy benefits. If the price is right for the benefit the house sells. End of discussion. He is the wisest man in his training field. Real estate is not like gas or milk; people don't keep buying it just because the person before them bought it at the same price. at least that's not my way of properly pricing a newly marketed home that is for sale. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it sure feels good to vent once in a while!
