I think some real estate ads tell too much. Sold new for $439,000 in 2005 and now $279,000. I don't think a seller should mention the price history of the property. Buyers should be looking at the county property tax records on the Internet, and all of that information is generally there. Good points, Candy.

Also: If you are posting anything online (Craig's List, etc.), make sure you are using the right search words. Think of what you would be typing in if you were searching for a house like yours. And by all that is holy in this world, TAKE GOOD PICTURES that make your house look large and uncluttered. Great notes, Candy.
