sellers: Writing a Home-Offer Letter – Is It a Good Idea? - 09/29/14 12:14 AM
The most important letter you'll submit to a home seller is the one you'll get from your lender stating that you are preapproved for a mortgage. Savvy listing agents will counsel their clients to refuse offers from unapproved buyers, so all the flowery prose of a home-offer letter will mean nothing without loan preapproval.

To understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay).
By comparing these Winchester VA price trends, you'll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The median listing and sold property prices are calculated based on the market activity each month.

sellers: Foreclosures Have A Huge Impact On CMAs - 02/04/08 10:59 PM
When meeting with my potential sellers, I have to used comparable foreclosures or short sale listings when performing a comparative market analysis.
For one, like it or not, these homes are my sellers' competition. By showing these foreclosure properties, my sellers learn a very valuable lesson in pricing the property at market value and will most likely not overprice the properties.
