I tell people that this market is not for sissies.

When people say they like a house they're often responding to a 'feel' of a house.

It's too soon to tell if this is a market change or if it's people waiting for the weather.

A few years ago it was suicide to overprice a house and then reduce it. Now we're telling sellers to pick their price... there is no harm in reaching because the market is moving so quickly.

I don't mean to stereotype because there are plenty of women who love football and just as many men who love home buying. But we often get calls from women who aren't interested in the Super Bowl and are instead gearing up to buy a new house.

It's usually not about the money. There are times in the economic cycle when people like to say they paid a lot of money for a house and then there are times when getting a good deal is a trend.
