Mind you it took 4 months for my loan officer to finally close and sign docs (Jan of '07 - April '07).

Someone in their office will come to mind.

Included in price are concessions...The amount you are willing to pay the buyer for their costs and the amount youre willing to pay an agent to sell your property.I list all of my properties on the MLS and offer the selling agent 4% and a 750-1500 add if they bring a full price offer and close within 30 days.keep in mind Buyers pay all costs, they are just included inside the purchse price and some buyers need to finance their cost.

At the peak of the bubble, these townhomes were going for maybe $220k, so it's already come down $30-40k.With that in mind, I was thinking of selling our place and maybe renting for a little while and ride out further downward price movement, and eventually find a single family home at a great price for our primary residence, which is what we've been wanting to do for a while (maybe an REO or pre-foreclosure).I was thinking that since I have a ton of equity in my place, I can be pretty flexible.

From what i've seen in Charlotte, a number of homes were listed but didn't sale but not neccessarily because the market flattened out....Many homeowners got it in their heads that their homes could sell for whatever they listed for or got into the mind set of "if I can sell it for what I'm listing it for, I'll move"....In other words, homeowners tried to speculate on the market and listed their homes artificually high hoping to make a killing when they really had no intentions or need to move....

If I ever have any questions on decorative concrete coatings, I'll definitely keep you in mind.

Now...mind you, I walked into this HUGE conference room, with about 500 chairs set up.

I know I would, and any investor in their right mind would too.
