November 12, 2008

Earlier this year I blogged about the disconnect between some homeowners’ perceptions of the value of their homes and the actual value.  I wrote about a Zillow.com study which revealed that in the Western U.S. 36% of homeowners thought the value of their homes had increased; 30% thought the value hadn’t changed; and only 34% [...]
