price: What Did You Expect From the Tax Credit? - 05/25/10 01:30 AM
I was reading an article about a recent jump in home sales attributed to the Home Buyers Tax Credit.

price: Getting Your House Ready to Sell Series: Setting Your Sales Price - 05/15/08 09:23 AM
How much to ask for my house? This has always been the most important question in selling your house, but never more than today.  A bad guess as to what the market will bear can cost you months--and even as much as a year--to sell your home today.
There is a lot of misinformation out there.  I read a quote today, not from a Realtor, that in summary said that it was okay to set the price high--that a seller would probably not see backlash from that decision.
I am not sure why that information was published (and on a reputable on-line resource!) … (0 comments)
