OK...we know. It's a terrible real estate market if you're a seller. But, don't despair, no matter what the market there are ALWAYS people that have to move. If you don't need to sell, my advice is to wait it out, especially if you have acreage. Things **WILL** improve, and your property value will rise again if you have land: it's a finite commodity and they're not making any more of it. But if you absolutely must sell now, we can help.
