weeks for sale by owner. I received an offer over the weekend, its less than what I would like and I am trying to decide if I should accept it or hold out and wait for more. Can someone update me on the housing market in the Mason area. Are prices still declining? I bought the house a year and a half ago for $220. The offer I received is $220 however they have a realtor I would have to pay 3% to so I would loose $6600. I dont want to be unrealistic. Do other realtors think this is a good deal given the market we are in today or are things getting better and I should wait for a better price.

kristen-
If I'm not too late. I know the Mason market very well. Our market is flat. What you paid for the home is probably still the price. to hold on for more would cost you mortgage , taxes, maintanance, utilities,etc. Pay the realtor fee and move on. You've done well.
