Well, well. Now, according to CnnMoney, Vero Beach comes in 2nd (from the bottom!) for most undervalued places in the country. Only 3 years back CnnMoney placed Vero Beach 2nd (from the top!!) and was forecasting 64% appreciation for this area over the following 5 years. Please see related links on this page. What an amazing 80 point spread! Instead of 40 up in value this area is 40 down. That must take 1st place for CNNs biggest misforcast.  Guess none of those "real estate" analysts saw the bubble bursting either.

Staging Homes for SaleStaging is a hot topic for home sellers, as evidenced by the popularity of TV shows like "Designed To Sell," "Buy Me" and "Flip This House." In August 2007, NAEBA released the report "How to not get tricked by staging - and potentially save $5,645 when you buy your home." The report outlines some of the common staging practices and how they might influence a buyer to purchase the wrong home, or a home that might be hiding serious defects. The report includes examples of staging and cautionary tales from real estate agents working directly with buyers. "The whole intent of staging is to get the buyer emotionally involved with the home." Jon BoydGet the whole story and FREE report by clicking here! 08/17/2007
