As a result, overpriced properties tend to take an unusually long time to sell, and they end up being sold at a lower price.

Likewise, buyers may be tempted to think they can find the home of their dreams armed with a recent homes-for-sale magazine and a road map. But rarely do these solo ventures yield the sweet success envisioned by the thrifty consumer.
