sdr, I’m not kidding, but I do agree that there are no perfect laboratory settings in the real world. That’s why I don’t think we’ll ever know if it’s price or marketing or both that sell the house. As a buyer with access to listings from ZipRealty, price is the key for me. But maybe other generation are different. I think people in my generation and younger will be gladly buy everything online. I know many people who bought their cars online from across the country and have it shipped to them. So buying RE is only logical next step. If we have all the listings online, either through Zip or Zillow or Craigslist, it doesn’t matter to us. We find what want, we don’t like going to sells people and ask them want we should get.
I usually don’t go to bed till at least 12 or 1, so the night is still young for me :-).
