How is your market doing compared to a year ago?

Comps are recent sales of comparable properties in the same area.

Compare rents in few houses in relation to number of rooms.

We are getting ready to purchase #47 this week (that's not many compared to some people here, but I'm pretty amazed every time I think about it).

This raised it some but can't go higher and concrete has even started to sink into ground.

By the time you go to Chicago, you will hit the ground running.

Many had 10% equity to slightly underwater.When comparing renting, selling with an agent and getting full price with lease purchase, he agreed that we could present to all his agents!

I'm definitely wanting to take a little extra time and money to one-up comparable houses so I can have pride in my work, give someone a house they believe is more than what they should be able to afford, make people happy, and sell the house faster!

To this point my research has turned up the following (1) property assessments in WB are from several years ago, (2) appeal of assessment cannot be made based on current comparables (mainly because the market is so lousy for sales).It just seems that I am missing something and I would be interested in hearing from people experienced with this particular city.Bill R.

After a couple years of lifting, nailing, coughing, aching, roofing, and generally running myself into the ground (including one project that literally almost killed me because I was doing ALL of the work myself), I had a realization.
