Buyers' and sellers' worst enemy?Themselves
Your brain may react to many things in a real-estate deal, including the attractiveness of the real-estate agent and a house's wall color. Your brain may betray you.
By Ryan Sager of SmartMoney
If you have hunted for a house, you probably got a sense that real-estate purchases don't represent consumers at their most rational. Did you like a house or apartment more or less depending on whether you saw it on a sunny day? Chances are, you did.
Buying a house isn't the same as buying a stock, an air conditioner or even a car. It's not just a product with pluses and minuses - good school system versus a small kitchen, a new roof versus a longer commute. A house represents the kind of life you want to live. And given its cost, a house and the value it gains or loses represent concretely the life you could live.

Prep your yard for home-buying season
Your yard plays a vital role in attracting prospective homebuyers. Here are six tips for making sure your yard doesn't sabotage any sales.
By Melinda Fulmer of MSN Real Estate
Last year, 30% of all U.S. households did some kind of landscaping project themselves, with the average annual bill coming in at $356, according to the National Gardening Association. Many of these projects can be a disaster, says Sacramento landscape architect John Nicolaus, especially if buyers go to their local big-box garden center and just start grabbing attractive plants and pavers.
Go to a local nursery that has a knowledgeable staff that can tell you which plants will work best in your area. Do some planning first, then talk to these pros about what you want to achieve, how much you have to spend and how much time you're willing to put into watering, pruning and fertilizing. You can even take pictures of your yard and bring them along to help visualize specific plantings.
