Overpriced Homes-Sell Slower and For Less - 08/29/10 12:41 PM
I have had to have this discussion way too often lately.  Pricing a home to sell is the only thing that will get you to the closing table in this market.  Buyers are looking to take advantage of the market, and pricing your home $20K over the highest closed comp in the neighborhood means you will be on the market indefinitely.
Great info Stephen!

I have the Photoshop program on my computer, but sometimes it's a pain.  But I've found something better for editing my blog photos, and it's so much fun to use!

Handymen are hard to come by in Plainfield IL.  Good ones anyway... so I'm going to share my secret.  My neighbor was having a new door installed on his house last month, so I stopped over to ask the workers for a business card since we are in the market for a new set of storm doors as well. Actually I have a long list of things we are in the market for... but that day it was the door that caught my eye. 
When he was finished at my neighbors house he stopped over to discuss some of the things … (1 comments)
