Homes Still Sell – By: Bruce Benham

 “Although sales figures and fallout from the mortgage crisis have cast an awful light on the 2007 residential real estate market, the truth is that this year will still rank as one of the busiest on record.  It may not feel like it, but buyers and sellers continue to come together in numbers that would have seemed quite impressive a decade ago.Price a home well and buyers will buy.  Make a reasonable offer and sellers will sell.”
