Gain some market insight

Phyllis Bloodworth asks, "How is real estate selling in your area?"

"Are things getting better in your market? … Buyers are looking at many more homes and still waiting for prices to go down. I think many of the sellers today have brought the prices down enough. You can’t always get something for nothing."
