Following months of encouraging signs that inflation was finally cooling, a new report showed that it ticked back up in July. With the benchmark interest rate already at a 22-year high and mortgage interest rates the highest they've been since 2000, many buyers may elect to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rate environment to improve.

price to sell, not to linger

Dangers of overpricing your house.

When you decide to sell your home, it is critical to set the right price.

A real estate agent can help guide you in determining a fair market value for your home, but it is important that you understand what are the risks of overpricing your house.
