For the past week I have been taking a couple of classes required for a GRI designation (Graduate Realtor Institute).  It has been a fun week, and we covered all sorts of exciting topics, including Ethics, Fair housing, Taxation... you know, the good stuff.  Along the way we touched on a number o...

I was reading a short article on REALTOR.org about the Pending Home Sales Index and what it is currently suggesting about home sales numbers in the coming months.  The article implies that home sales might have reached a low in August, and will stabilize in the coming months.  I'm not sure about ...

   Someone on Active Rain has suggested this topic, rather like the HGTV show about what you get for your money in different markets across the country.  The question is, "How much Home can you buy for $425,000 in your market today?"     I can think of a number of different places to use $425K he...
