The first time home buyers and the lower interest rates, along with a lot of pent-up demand for homes,  has kicked off this market. As far as any specific home selling--it all goes back to price and condition, and if the condition doesn't support the price, then either the price must come down or the condition must get better. The homes that are perceived to be the better deals are the ones being snatched up by the buyers. Good luck with yours!&#13;

Price is easiest to fix if you can.  Condition is more of struggle because home sellers can be too lazy or blinded by their own preferences to get their property in tip top shape or they might not have the funds to make necessary improvements.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:49:05 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
