Need some advice.
It is just not happening here in our area. Our inventory is so high....the choices are so many. It is like being in a candy store with a pocket full of coins.
Buyer are having a hard time making a decision.
Then when we finally get something undercontract...it seems like the lenders are trying to kill the deal.
Help...

Hi, Ginger -- It does seem like things are picking up quite a bit in our area (southeastern Wisconsin). It probably started a couple months ago or so. I will say, though, that I changed my attitude and when I did that, things started to improve quickly. I know it might sound a little hoakey, but I told myself I'd get each of my listings sold and find the "right" home for my buyers and really believed that. So far, I haven't had too many lender issues. Just hang in there -- I know that's easy to say. But you have to know and believe we will all get through these difficult times...
Phone activity and number of sales is increasing. Average sale price is still way down, due to REOs
Our prices are soooo much lower than the rest of the world that we stay busy moving inventory in any economy. The more messed up it gets in a crime filled polluted population center, the more attractive moving or investing in "Mayberry" looks. Hi, I'm Andy. Work on price reductions, rotate and introduce new images, implement local property and community live narrated videos and get yourself standing out from the her of other real estate peddlers.
Ginger ---- we have a huge inventory of homes here in Charleston also. Yes, the banks are very tough --- But the good news is that business has picked up. Yahoo!!!! Have a fun filled weekend.
