The old saying buy low, sell high applies to real estate. If you need to sell, sometimes it is better to wait it out if you have the option, as the market will get better.

No time for that in this market. No personal attachment, and price it right the first time– don’t wait to “see how it does.” No time for that in this market.

The price is what it is - and once emotions get involved the entire process is much more difficult. You are so right about not attaching emotional value to the price of the property.

Real Estate is still the best investment. People need a place to hang their hat everyday. But when selling that investment, it's all about price, value & condition. Of course, it's not a liquid investment & it has it's risks, as you stated. What other investment can you live in, change it's condition, get a tax write-off & more? All market have their ups and downs! So true! Real Estate is still the best investment. People need a place to hang their hat everyday.

Of course this option only works for homeowners who are still current on their mortgages, but it is becoming a more appealing solution for some owners.

Being a Realtor, I have experienced no showings to 6-7 showsing a day on homes. Homes are selling. I am sitting with a contract on one home with 3 back ups. Yet on another nice home, I have had only 3-4 showings. I have one Agent that works with me that has 3 closings this week and others who have had nothing in the past month. I do have an investor that has bought 2 homes, fixes them up and leases them and is still doing it. He said that he wished he had started this 10 years ago. Real Estate is a great investment but as you said if you need money quick it can't be turned over very fast. The market is very strange right now.
