Prices in Michigan are in the toliet. My mom and dad just sold their place on Lake Michigan for $975K 2 years ago they turned down 1.3 million. Our economy is pulling down our housing market really bad.

I'm not sure what's pulling the housing down but what I do know is that housing increased so much that the only way many/most people could afford a house was via "creative" financing. Those same people are starting to lose their houses and from what I can tell, it's going to get much worse. My only hope is that when the market hits bottom and all these people are booted, I can afford to pick up another one.

That's the same problem as here. Then we have loads of people who want a house so badly that they throw reason out the window and agree to these ridiculous loans and essentially set themselves up for failure. We're about to see some real ugliness here in the way of foreclosures.

When we sold our house fast it was very small and superficial 'visual' things that made *ALL* the difference...like LOTS of flower pots (from home depot or where ever) all over the front and backyard as well as lawn and garden as perfect as you can get it...buy plants and candles etc...and have them all over the house make the place look and feel 'charming' cause as we know, its the WOMAN that is going to be the biggest factor selling your house and yas gots to appeal to the SIGHTS SMELLS and CHARM to seduce the prospective female buyer (guys: lets face it, if our spouse doesn't like it we aint gettin it)...again, these things are relatively cheap but pay HUGE dividens on a quick sell.

I'm a little worried about the 60 days thing, but we'll see how it plays out. We've had it on the market for 3 weeks and have had alot of interest so far, so it SEEMS possible.
