I do not understand why some Realtors will still take a listing that they know is too high. The seller does not reduce or the reduction is not enough to make a difference. I do not think it's in the seller's best interest for Realtors to take an over priced listing. I run a CMA so many different ways in order to get a feel for the market and what the price of the home should be. The home becomes stale and sells for a lot less than it should. As a business, it's not good on our end either, we paid for advertising that does not bring business. Basic economics, supply and demand; our suppply is high and the demand is low.  So we need to price for the market. 02/11/2009

Buy! Mark Twain once said to buy land because they aren't making any more of it! One area to explore is vacation home buying with a group! I know many groups that rent homes for the season at the Jersey Shore, Why not buy? Low interest rates and low home prices make it a good time to explore this avenue. 02/05/2009

I find that one of the most difficult things to master is the time management issue. Blogging, social networks all take time and lets not forget the keeping up with your clients and sphere of influence! Technology has made things easier and faster so it is really important to block time in for other things, time with family, friends and exercise! There is a rythm in real estate, up and down time during the day, week and through out the year. It is important to tune into this rythm so you can plan vacations and other activities. 02/05/2009
