pricing: End Pocketbook Pain - 07/17/07 06:53 AM
How important do you think it is to price your home correctly once you've decided to sell? Are you aware that overpricing can be painful to your pocketbook? Sure, it's simple - an overpriced home rarely sells.
Here are some of the best reasons for heeding the advice of your real estate professional regarding price. First, overpricing a home discourages buyers from even making an offer. They feel that even if the offer is accepted, they haven't gained anything more than a fair price.

pricing: A Commodity in Danger of Becoming a Liability - 02/11/07 12:52 PM
Have you noticed that many For Sale signs (especially on the Massachusetts North Shore) appear to have put down roots on the front lawns of the homes for sale? And how about the number of signs dotting our neighborhoods? It's staggering!

It's said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Each of us sees the world through different eyes, don't we? So of course, we each view it differently.
The same holds true for buyers for your home. The buying public comes from every conceivable walk of life, and each individual is looking for something special. Some buyers look for convenience in a home, some look for beauty, and some for practicality.
