Many thanks @Jimmy Hodges, @Aaron Ward, @Yolanda Branham:)  5 min after I got the offer accepted a weight sort of lifted off my shoulders.  

I decided to limit the number of pets allowed and their combined weight to reduce the wear and tear on the property. 

Out of every year, the money weighted chance of needing to tap into my reserve is probably 0.5 month.

Weight the cost of 1yr vs paying the penalty if the PM tries to come after you for breach of contract.

Good, I'll skip those going forward) Withdrawn, Sold, Average Days On Market, Median Days On Market, Sales Price Average, Sales Price Median, Price Reductions, List Price to Sales Price Ratio, and Weeks of Inventory.

Give me some advance notice so I can lose some weight and get a haircut before I go on.  

The hearing closed with a duet, parroting woes of the housing shortage and how “we all have to do our part”… Ill spare the you 10 additional pages it would take to transcribe the rage after hearing this statement  bear its full weight upon the pan opposite of mine on the scale.

Has anyone seen significant price reductions for properties left on market?

Also, the amount of the reduction is often consistent and you can usually shave 10% or so off with your offer. 

Here are just a few of the reasons I've chosen to get licensed in several states:-  Getting access to listed properties without having another agent present;-  Getting information about property condition through MLS pictures;-  Getting information about seller motivation through MLS private remarks;-  Having the ability to communicate directly with my buyers' lender;-  Having the ability to communicate directly with my buyers' appraiser;- Having the ability to communicate directly with my buyers' inspector;- Having the ability to sweeten an offer by passing my commission to the other party's agent;- Having the ability to submit offers on HUD properties without an intermediary;- Having the ability to print potential comps for appraisers to encourage a strong appraisal;- Getting access to disclosure statements from previous sales;- Getting access to price change history on properties I'm considering purchasing;- Providing negotiating leverage when the other party is represented;- Providing the ability to negotiate short sales (in some states) and submit short sale offers directly to the lender.one thing I like about our MLS system there is a history tab  very easy to get to .. you get the listing history back for 10 years or so.. you can follow price reductions.. sale fails  you know the falling knife this is huge in negotiation..
