2 n4 [- U, P5 u8 @+ _7 \1 V"August has been an interesting month for the MLS® with various opinions as to if and how much, the market may be cooling off. The theories behind the opinions are equally varied but include construction completions and typical seasonal slow-downs. Whatever the reasons, the most important thing is still to remember to prepare and price one’s property competitively. Your REALTOR® is the best person to look to for help in showing off the features of your property, and for accurate pricing within a given market,” says CREB® President Kevin Clark. "Often times we hear of sellers who are frustrated at how long their property has been on the market; this is commonly either because of presentation or pricing. It is very important to look to your REALTOR® throughout the listing period, for up-to-date and sound advice."4 O" x1 U, \$ x! E3 P$ H2 G
