The Tiggers & Eeyores and everything in Between For the Real Estate Market

I was in San Francisco Two weeks ago.  The next door neighbor of the house I lived in reduced their selling price by $20,000.  The house has been in the market for a year now.  But aside from that, It seems like nothing dramatic us happening with their real estate market, or so it seems.

"Every real estate market is different, and in each real estate market you will have hundreds of micro trends. If the people in Salt Lake City were listening to the media they would be giving their homes away, but instead they are enjoying a 21 percent increase in value."
