Well, we just put our house on the market yesterday.

The market here is overloaded and very slow but we really don't have a choice except to sell if we want to take advantage of the oppurtunity available to us in Omaha, NE.

Check it out if you want to. :thumbsup:

Not gonna happen. Even if real estate appreciation goes from 25% down to 10% annually, I don't consider that bursting.
I wasn't saying he's going to lose money. Just to get out and buy before the market does cool down too much.

Oh, and where is the picture of you in that Army t-shirt building the deck? At least you could have included that in the real estate listing for others to appreciate all the hard work you put into that puppy.

The market is already cooled down, unfortunately...from my realtor when we were discussing the list price. (He got this from the upper management at Remax)

"The listings are piling up. There are over 4400 in Prince William now, up 283% from April 2005. In the key $450,000 to $599,999 price range the increase in inventory is a staggering 370%. Sales contracts are down by 45% from a year ago to only 616 in April. There is over seven months inventory on the market

Associates must prepare their clients to wait and to be agreessive. In 2005
17 days was the average list to contract period. In April 2006 it was 63 days and the trend is upwards. Only the best staged, best priced properties will sell in this glutted market."

it took a lot of negotiating to get him to agree on $589k...he wanted to go "live" at $569k but that would have left us no where to negotiate to.

Prices are insane on both coasts. Cali in particular is the worst in the west. Almost all of New England down through say Central Virginia where Todd is bad. Try getting something on the ocean if you want to see insane. :crosseyed .
