selling a home: Buyers! Should You Wait for the Market to Hit Bottom? - 12/11/07 10:24 AM
On Sunday I held one of my listings open, as I usually do on the weekends. And as usual, I had 5-6 buyers who love the house but are waiting to buy when the market hits bottom. A few buyers are making their move now but most are waiting. However, it … (0 comments)

selling a home: Some Sellers Won't Negotiate a Penny! - 11/30/07 01:35 PM
It is interesting to see how the sellers of newer listings, meaning those on the market less than 30 days, haven't quite caught on to the fact that it's not a seller's market anymore. I have presented several offers to "newbie" sellers and the counters came back at full price. These … (0 comments)

selling a home: The Housing Market is Very Localized...Some Neighorhoods are DOWN and Some are UP! - 09/17/07 12:43 PM
Listening to the media can be very confusing when you are trying to decide whether to buy or sell now.
