As you can see from these figures we are still very much in a buyer's market. Well priced homes are still selling, but it is important to price your home correctly from the beginning. I would be happy to perform a cma for you to give you an idea of what your home would bring in today's market. Since 85% of buyers are starting their home search on line it is important to choose an agent to market your home who has a strong internet presence.
