market value: UPDATE: Sellers are ready to listen!
- 08/15/06 11:03 AM
Wow! It's been real busy. Just when I was starting to worry about getting low on inventory, I got slammed. Five new actives and three more coming on after they clean and de-clutter. That's a pretty good weekend. What I'm noticing too, in my market, Poinciana FL, is that Sellers are starting to get it. They are very receptive to pricing right and getting their home in condition to sell. Of course, these were all expired and withdrawn listings, that had been on the market for months. I guess after six months of very few showings and no offers, their "best house … (9 comments)

market value: What is the "Right Price"?
- 07/11/06 10:33 AM
I have heard numerous times over the last few months from Realtors wondering why their listing hasn’t sold. The usual comment is “it’s priced right”. Well is it really? My experience has been that any property will sell if the price is right. What is the “Right Price” in today’s market? Is it “Market Value” based on the last 6 months of sales?
