downtown: Why a buyer does not buy - - 05/16/08 09:17 AM
What a surprise it is when a buyer looks at a property priced 30-50% below what it sold for 2 years ago and they question whether or not it's a "good deal". Real estate is a long term investment and nobody knows where the bottom is. When a financial planner or … (2 comments)
