"In all fairness may I ask if you are in any aspect of the real-estate trade"
No, I am not. I do own two houses, in NC, that I do not plan on selling at any point in the near future. You may want to query the originator of this thread, as to just how one benefits from myriad posts over a period of years, if you're looking for an agenda. I understand blogging can be a pretty good sideline, assuming one drives enough "hits" to it, now that Google Ads has come along.
In terms of the originator of this thread, are you saying he is in the real-estate market?
