In my post with the video on “Community,” I asked what statement that Mike Bastian made struck me as most profound. I offered the first correct response a gift card to Kimball’s Espresso. Keep watching closely, I’ll do it again from time to time!

Not a dumb question at all. There are a ton of homes coming on the market (about 25 per week in Gig Harbor), and those people all have varying reasons as to why they are selling. Those can range from job change, divorce, new baby, taxes getting too high, struggling with loan payments, and many more.
The reality is, they can still get a great price for their home IF IF IF they price it well to begin with. Remember, most people who are selling now will have owned their homes for at least 5 years, and their value could have easily doubled or more in that time. Folks who have owned their homes for 2 years or less are the only ones who will really be hurt by selling.

Try the Choc-Peanutbutter-Banana yogachinno if you get a chance…GREAT stuff!

can i ask something? how come SO many people are putting their homes on the market, if it’s probably a sure thing that they won’t get a great price for it? i am seeing for sale signs everywhere, and it makes me wonder… why? (is that a dumb question?)

btw, i recieved my gift certificate. thank you so much!
