Is The 'Iceberg House' Trend A Good Idea?, Not The Way To Figure How Much Your Home Is Worth, Number Of Homes For Sale Trend Over Last Year

Real Estate News:

The number of homes being offered for sale has increased by 17% over the past year with homes priced between $400,000-$599,999 seeing the highest increase.
