Snipe, the owner says the big swings didn't really occur in St. Louis (as a way of minimizing my expectation that the price would at least have stayed the same).

I don't think they did much to improve the property. They are in the business of making money and apparently they are pretty good at it.

I think the realtor I talked to is representing the seller, but I will have to ask. What does it mean "to search out a home"? Does that just mean I need the Multi-Listing Service?

How do you find out about foreclosures? I can't make it a full time job so maybe I do need someone.

I think median price in the school district is around $180k.
