A few of my clients have tried to sell their homes this year, but unfortunately, they were not able to sell their home at their desired price.  If it was financial feasible for them to own 2 homes, I have advised these clients to lease  their home in these tough times, and wait for the housing market to turn around.     I have leased certain client's townhomes from $1850 to $2600 and luxury homes from $3000 to $5000 a month.  Two of my clients have received a corporate 3 year lease and can't be happier.
