Did you know it is all about - local
Real estate is very local. Price changes in either direction or the percentage of change vary from region to region within the country, the state and even your local county and municipality. Of course we always recommend a real estate professional when buying or selling - but be informed too. Informed clients are the best ones to work with. Find out about home prices here - and of course on my website where you can check your local neighborhood
