you can get a diy account set up at any home depot pro desk. contractors get different tier discounts depending on how much they spend. 6% doesn't sound right at all. usually, it's 10% then deeper discount depending on which tier your in. if you go to lowe's, home depot will match, then beat they're price by 10% on all like-kind purchases. i currently work part-time at home depot.

nice list. love the cookies at the end for everyone.

that response give me a better prospective of what is happening.
thank you for the detail response Laura.

here is when the house i'm talking about is changing price...

05/16/2013 Price change $203,000
04/24/2013 Price change $197,500
01/08/2013 Price change $220,000
09/25/2012 Listed for sale $165,000

just wondering...been watching certain houses on the market for almost a year with these labels on mls. I still drive by those certain houses once in awhile with for sale signs in front still.

from a definition stand point, Active/Pending-Short Sale - Offer has been accepted by seller and has been presented to financial institution but has not been accepted - property is still available for showing and back up offers are being accepted.

i know short sales take awhile to close but even some houses that hit day one have this active/pending label. thinking this a tactic to create an illusion of another fake buyer to drive up price.

one house keeps changing price up and down on listing, how can this house be pending a short sale if the listing price keep changing?

reno is on a small climb as of the 1st qtr of the year. inventory has been shrinking. still lots of vacant homes around town during my drives. read a recent article over on bankrate.com that reno was one of the five best markets. i'll let you know when my next project is ready. link below:
