Possibly it has something to do with expertise. Many home owners who consider a selfsale of their house back off when they see the level of knowledge and commitment that is needed to do an effectivejob. If you decide, however, that self selling is the best option for you, you will find the vast majority of theinformation on this Web Site to be of value. Most of what you will find here will be geared to either doing thejob yourself or monitoring the job that your Agent is doing.

MONEY Magazine: Your Home 2005: The 100 Major Markets - Jun. 1, 2005 Web CNN/Money Buying & Selling Investment Property Home Improvement Million $ Life Financing Best Places SAVE | EMAIL | PRINT | SUBSCRIBE TO MONEY | The 100 Major Markets While currently hot real estate markets may cool, don't look for many outright losers just yet. June 1, 2005: 7:01 PM EDT More real estate • Pros and cons of interest-only mortgages • How much house can you afford? NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - Home prices across the country will likely keep rising over the next year. While many hot markets on both coasts could see a dramatic slowdown in their growth rates, the forecasters at housing research firm Case Shiller Weiss aren't predicting outright losers anywhere. Nationally, home values climbed 14 percent last year, or nearly double the 8 percent of 2003, when the bubble talk began in earnest. Prices are up 20 percent or more in some coastal cities, putting homes out of reach for many. In Los Angeles, for example, just 5 percent of homes sell at prices affordable to a median-income local family. Don't panic just yet, though. Any pop is unlikely to be nearly as severe as what can happen in the stock market. Local markets can drop 10 to 20 percent, but that's about as bad as it usually gets. And a crash is merely a paper loss as long as you don't need to move. Meanwhile, you get a roof over your head and, with a little luck, nice neighbors and good public schools too.
