Conn,

Another thought....listing term; I agree with all others that 6 months is too much; I did a 90 day listing with MY option to extend 30 days at a time. You can also insert a clause that if you produce a buyer (without aid of an agent or the MLS listing) that the total commission is reduced by knocking out the buyer's agents' share.

Money Magazine, in its June issue, had a table that showed for the 100 biggest US markets: when their market peaked and when it is projected to hit bottom, how much drop/rise from peak to bottom, and how much average prices for that market are expected to go up (or mostly down) in the next 12 months.

Orlando was projected to bottom out in Q3 of 2010 and the next 12 months would show a 21% price decrease...one of the weakest markets in the country. Peak was in Q2 of 06 and total decrease from peak to bottom projected to be 42%. Ouch. Your results may differ.

Get it sold and start the next chapter of your life!!!
