Birthday House

"Home is fine, offers are not" "( ) a growing collection of homes that real estate insiders dub "birthday houses," a term that refers to any property that has gone unsold longer than a year." "In the past, sellers' agents could, if they wanted, conceal the total days on the market by taking homes off for a day or two and relisting under a new MLS number. But now the MLS displays a cumulative days-on-the-market figure that is tied to a home's address. "You can't hide it," said Jason Graves, a broker and listing partner with Linda Craft & Team Realtors in Raleigh." http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/03/19/1063885/home-is-fine-offers-are-not.html
