The degree to which realtors think their skills dictate a sale price and/or time on market is breathtaking. 

The average temperature in the United States is 50 degrees, but if you are standing in Death Valley or Gnome, Alaska, what you experience may feel very different.In the handful of MSAs that I monitor, I'm seeing YoY rent changes from (2%) to 8%.

I’m all for working with someone and meeting them where they to a degree, but something we’ve encountered is just simple lack of communication.
