Last week, I heard one of my top agents call to tell his well-qualified, first time home buyer that another offer was accepted on the home he wanted. This is the second time he's had to make that call. They are looking for a newer 3 bedroom home with a 2

market values: Mid-January 2008 Market Update for Livingston County - 01/22/08 10:08 AM
We've been hearing a lot about the horrible housing market for sometime now. In fact, it's hard to get away from it. Television, radio, magazines, newspapers, candidate speeches - it's all over the place. Livingston County finished 2007 with November and December reporting more sales than the same two months in 2006.

There are certainly some pitfalls to sell a home in this market. Maybe some of these suggestions will help.Remember these are only suggestions:1. MINIMIZE OFFERS:An overpriced house discourages prospective buyers from making offers since the difference between the asking price and market price becomes substantial.2. AGENT ENTHUSIASM AND RESPONSE:Agents lose interest

market values: Is it a buyers market in Utah? - 06/07/07 05:51 PM
Recently the Utah housing market has begun to normalize. Although most figures point upward of 17% growth, it can be a bit misleading. This figure is for the last 12 month period but does not reflect what is truly happening. Many sellers are tempted to over price their homes when they see a number like 17%

market values: Is it a correction for the Colorado real estate market or for Zillow? - 05/05/07 12:38 PM
The Denver Post had a article on May 2, 2007, "Home values drop across much of area". I was surprised to see that the information came from a first quarter home price index from Zillow.com. While this is a tough market and home prices are dropping in some areas, using Zillow as

There was a time when doing a Comparative market Analysis you'd get excited. You drove by the property the day before to make sure it wasn't on the main road backing to a double yellow line, or it wasn't under a set of those high tinsel power lines, or you really

market values: The Dollar Sale - 08/23/06 11:39 AM
This makes me nuts! In the Birmingham/Bloomfield market, after a transaction closes, many sales get logged into the MLS with a sales price of $ONE DOLLAR$. OK, I can kind of see why some people would want this information kept privately. Maybe they didn't get what they had hoped they'd get

market values: An Urban Real Estate Myth - 08/22/06 09:29 PM
I was reading a blog entry by Kristal Kraft today entitled You Can't take the truth. It got me thinking about how some buyers have completely unrealistic expectations of the market. There's the "low baller"...this person wants to offer 25% less than asking price regardless of how accurately priced a property is....
