STAFFORD COUNTY Town Homes are priced right and prices have been reduced in the past few months. I get many telephone calls from prospective home buyers who have the question, "Is this price negotiable?" My answer is always the same, "Everything in real estate is negotiable." The question real is, how negotiable.
I believe that the real story is the closing help available from sellers. Sometimes the credit from the seller to the buyer at settlement is more helpful than negotiating the price.

Lenn, I love your table of reality which also shows columns of fantasy numbers. The initial overpricing in the market is stunning sometimes isn't it?
