Thanks first of all. Thanks for jumping in, it is always a risk sharing about your profession on forums like this.
Yes and no on the timing the sale. For sure yes to some extent, if we are in an awful slump we may want to push through it and wait for a rebound or rush and accept where we are, having the knowledge helps to make the decision. Also just to be educated, it is hard to find a realtor that you can trust, and you don't really find out if you can trust them until you are in the thick of things or something goes wrong.
A huge part of this is that I don't trust that we can get a great realtor even if we try to get one.
The info on stats is perfect, I appreciate that. The only thing better would be a link that said this is the tool... BUT knowing that the tool isn't generally available is gold. Appreciate it!
