1. Decide how much home you can afford. Generally, you can afford a home equal in value to between 2 and 3 times your gross income. 2.

Suzanne Willems First: Some real estate agents will engage in a bidding war of sorts to win a listing. This is unfortunate as no winners will emerge from this battle of inflated values. The seller is left wondering what went wrong. Second: Every over priced home serves only to help the correctly priced homes sell. When a serious buyer is looking for a home in a particular neighborhood, the buyer agent will show all the homes available for sale, then the recent comparable … (5 comments)
