I was visiting with one of my sellers the other day about our local market. She had been talking to another person in her neighborhood who also has their home listed. Her neighbor had gone into detail about a conversation they'd had with their agent. A conversation on how in the same month in 2007, 800 houses closed and this month only 140 houses had closed in Columbia.
I said, "Ms. Seller, that information isn't correct. Let me pull up the true stats for listings with a Columbia address and then we can talk about it. During the same month in 2007, 125 houses closed. This month in 2008, 95 houses sold. That is a pretty different story!"
I'm sure there was a misunderstanding somewhere but I'm not sure it made my seller feel any better. !
