Nationwide home prices have dropped 10.9 percent in the last year, according to the latest Loan Performance National Home Price Index, which compared prices from July 2008 to July 2007.
The drops are starting to finally flatten out. Loan Performance compared the current national picture to the home price declines in Texas and Massachusettes in the 80s and early 90s, a decline which took two years to bottom out.
California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona continue to lead the race to the bottom in the Loan Performance HPI. Home prices in the Los Angeles area dropped nearly 28 percent in the last year.
Meanwhile, Texas continues to sail through the crisis relatively unaffected.
Austin had the best price appreciation of any city in the U.S., at 4.15 percent. Houston's price appreciation was 4.12 percent, San Antonio 3.53 percent, and Dallas 2.17 percent.
Life is good in Texas.

• Preparing Your Home for Sale
Ask your agent for suggestions on preparing your home for sale. Generally, you will want to move out any bulky or excess furniture; make sure your home is sparkling clean, de-cluttered, and odor free before the lockbox is put on the door.
• Repairs Before Selling
Not all resale repairs will net a payoff. You don't want to spend a lot of money on improvements but you do want to repair obvious and neglected maintenance problems.
• Home Staging
You can either hire a professional stager (it is worth the money,) ask your agent to help stage, or stage it yourself. You will probably get a better and/or quicker offer for your home if it is staged.
• Home Pricing
Do not choose an agent based on suggested sales price. Some agents may overbid each other to get the listing only to lower the price later. Do not overprice your home. Homes that are overpriced often sell for less than market value and stay on the market longer.
• Net Profits from Selling
Ask for to preliminary net sheets, one with a low price and one with a high price. This way you can be prepared for the worst but hope for the best.

I have enjoyed working with Shirley for the last 6 months. I had in my mind when I contacted her back in January exactly the type of home and the location in San Antonio that I wanted. My time frame was to have the house I wanted and ready to move in by the end of July. You know what, she found the perfect home with the right price ($475,000) and we made a deal. I am moving this week.

Thank you so much for all your help today, you and your husband really made this experience quite pleasant...I was expecting to be overwhelmed by the whole thing, but I felt extremely comfortable and very relaxed about going through with this. I'm definitely going to recommend you to anyone I know that is buying a new home.
