What is the best value?

I have plenty of possible buyers looking for a 'deal' and want to focus on short sales or bank foreclosures. Short sales and bank foreclosures are not a garantee of a good value. Many people are willing to buy at 30% off of asking no matter what asking price really is or what the trends in that subdivision are. Come on people you need to get smarter about your money. You need to look between the lines not just at the discount or that the property is considered distressed. I see how difficult the market is right now and still people are not asking tough questions or looking for strong advisors to help them with their purchase. There are allot of deals to be had but they not apparent to the average buyer or agent. M.
