Ever feel absolutely confused about the news you hear about the real estate market? It's up one month, then it's down 3 months prior....... No, the revised numbers came up more positive than expected. Pending home sales are UP, then DOWN? Confused enough yet??? I can certainly understand how you feel. The truth is that real estate markets are very local. So local that we are not only talking about "local" in one city.

Sometimes, local could mean specific neighborhoods, because some neighborhoods are hit harder with foreclosures and short sales, while the next neighborhood over is not hit at all. Then, within the specific neighborhoods, there are some types of properties that are hit while others, not as bad. For example, single-story homes within the community may sell at "regular" fair market value but two-story homes sell at "foreclosure" prices for certain built.

Hence, take caution with the information that you read from the Internet. Many times, it is to provide general information only. An in-depth pricing analysis must be conducted in order to find a home its "fair market value".
