We are putting our home on the market next week, but only for about a month - if it doesn't sell we will take it off the market until April, after we return from renting in TV for Feb/Mar. We live on a lake and the lake season in Missouri is about over, so if it doesn't sell fairly quickly it will likely not sell until spring. I will try to sell it myself, as I have done five times previously; I spent 10 years as a realtor, and have been in sales and marketing for 40 years, so feel comfortable going on my own. Lake property is a little different, as the market is soft, but not depressed, as people who want lake property tend to be a little more affluent, and not as affected by the ressession as many. If luck is with us and we sell quickly we will be down to buy a pre-owned property very soon. Pat and Bob good luck with your sale and hope to see you in TV very soon.
