home for sale: How Fast Will Your Home Sell in College Park or Berwyn Heights? - 03/29/08 02:36 AM
The numbers in the table above show how many months it would take to sell any home in College Park or Berwyn Heights if no other homes came on the market.  It appears that there are an average of about 9 homes selling per month with about 16 months supply available right now.
What does this mean to the person wanting to sell their home?  It means that if you would like your home to be one of the 9 that sell this month your home needs to be priced competitively and look like Martha Stewart just came to visit.

home for sale: What Price is the Right Price? - 03/26/08 09:19 PM
It is an axiom in real estate that if a house is not selling it is probably over priced -- that every house will sell at the right price.
I am finding, though, that finding that price is getting harder and harder.  
Back in the days of the frenzy, it was difficult to find a "right" price because people were lined up to buy a house at any price.

home for sale: Did You Know You Could Buy This Home For ZERO Out-of-Pocket Expense? - 02/13/08 05:50 AM

home for sale: Realtor.com - Enhanced Listing Package - 10/25/07 01:39 PM
A while back a Seller was really adamant that I make sure their home was on Realtor.com "with the yellow border".  Well, I went ahead and got the Realtor.com Enhanced Listing Package (at no small expense) and also their Featured Home package for one zip code (also not cheap).
The idea was that my listing would get soooo much more exposure and I would be able to customize my listings with additional photos, virtual tour, scrolling text, custom text description and more.
