I would just like to say that I resent the thought that since I (and Carl) are Realtors that we are anything but honest. I am completely honest. The price of Real Estate is determined by the buyers. That's you. It makes no difference what sellers are ASKING buyers to pay... it's all about what the buyers are WILLING to pay. So... the value of any property is that price that a buyer is willing to pay. Simple as that. So... when looking for a home... your offer is based on what you think the property is worth... the owner will either accept, negotiate or refuse it. If you'd like to talk about your plans and get some straight forward information to help you make a good decision and feel good about the decision you've made... just reach out. I'm here to assist you in any way I can. - Fri Nov 6 2009, 23:09
