According to the MLS, homes on the market went down by 11.30%.  So, basically in February there were abount 300 less homes on the market from 2007 to 2008.  So, what about sales price?  They also went down...2.89%. 

Let's say you bought your home in 2001, right before the big rush.  You paid 100,000.  In 2004-2005, it may have sold for 300,000.  That is quite abit of equity.  Currently, homes are down.  A little less than 3%.  It is not as grim as the media is making it out to be...

When you put your home on the market, you want top dollar.  You want it to sell quickly.  You want someone who is going to take care of you..you are paying them to do so.  Make sure your home looks like a model.  Go in one.  Check it out.  Nothing is out of place.  Everything is clean.  No clutter.  Landscaping is nice.  That is your part, then your agent can do his/her part.  Then you can get top dollar.  Go to the website and view..."you must know this"...for reports on how to get your home ready.
