ofallon missouri real estate: Homebuyers in O'Fallon Mo need to do a self evaluation.........
- 12/13/08 03:32 AM
Homebuyers in O'Fallon Mo need to do a self evaluation......... And in this self evaluation they should look at themselves through a mortgage lender's eyes. We all know what the national news media is saying about the housing market and, to paraphrase them, how bad it is. Let me just say that all real estate is local and should be looked at it in that frame of mind. The market in California is not the same as it is Wisconsin and the market in Florida is not the same as it is in Missouri. However, there are areas within each marketplace … (21 comments)

ofallon missouri real estate: Are you really SERIOUS about selling your home?
- 11/28/08 05:43 AM
Are you really SERIOUS about selling your O'Fallon Mo home? I have learned that there are two kinds of sellers in O'Fallon MO. There are those that just want to jump in and test the waters. They are not really serious and really have no motivation to sell. They generally say something like, "Well we will give it a try and if nothing happens, OH WELL, we will just take the house off of the market." This is not a market that allows for this type of thinking. Why? Because you generally have the home overpriced and the buyers today are … (8 comments)

The contract that you might use may not have some of these contingencies as … (14 comments)
