pricing a home: We're Ready to List the House -- Now What Do We List It For? - 09/24/10 02:42 PM

One of the many things I try to plant in my sellers' minds is the fact that this real estate market we're in is ever-changing. Every day is a new adventure. Every day I learn something new.
And although this has been the reality for some time now, it still can be difficult to really wrap your head around the way things are. Prices are low and inventory is high. Foreclosures and short sales are out there -- even in "your neighborhood."
No one is immune from this. No one.
What does that mean  if you are ready to … (3 comments)

pricing a home: Are You Committed to Working with Me to Get Your House Sold? - 07/27/10 09:59 PM

Regardless of the reason for selling your house, there has to be a commitment on your real estate agent's part, as well as yours, to get the job done. And in this market, it can be tough.
It can be humbling to hear what your house is worth today. It can create a sinking feeling to learn you probably won't get back what you paid for all those nice updates you made over the past couple of years.

pricing a home: I Know It Hurts, But What You Need or Want from the Sale of Your Home Doesn't Matter - 04/16/10 04:29 PM

It seems like things are getting tougher and tougher in the world of real estate. More and more "for sales" are popping up, interest rates have creeped up a bit, the buyer tax credit is nearing its end, and short sales and foreclosures continue to spatter the inventory. And yet, it is still difficult for some to accept that no one is immune from the rippling effects of these conditions.

pricing a home: How NOT to Price Your Home - 11/28/09 07:36 PM
Excellent post. Clear. Concise. And to the point.

Via J. Philip Real Estate LLC Briarcliff Manor, NY:
