We need to continue using our Facts and Trends and stop our Sellers from using the adage "but my neighbors house sold for $100,000 more a year ago." In 2006 the prices were still high, but fewer properties were selling. Since January we have been on a downward slide and according to some people we will keep going down for another year. I am going to make a real effort this weekend to analyze some of my "listings" and talk to the Sellers about the reality of selling their home near the price that it is listed. I am sure I'll lose a few listings but those are the ones that aren't getting shown anyway. It's time for all of us to lighten our load and get back to selling real estate.
