This book started out as a really great read! There are lots of interesting points, and some really excellent nuggets of advice buried within that can help you buy or sell your home. I especially appreciated their advice on how to choose a good real estate agent. However, about mid-way, the authors get a little too impressed with their own analytics, and the nuggets become fewer and farther between. Let's say you are planning to sell your home, and are looking to purchase a new one. As the authors themselves admit, it won't be possible to change the name of the street you're living on — and yet they spend a full chapter explaining the statistical advantages of certain street names over others. There's an an in-depth analysis of why prices are so high in certain boroughs of New York City, and a lot of historical information on gentrification and the effect of the LGBT movement on various neighborhoods. In the meanwhile, I am hoping they will get back into the practical aspects of buying and selling a house: How does the process go when you submit an offer, what happens if the seller doesn't have an agent, what are the legal ramifications if you sell your house and a year later, the buyers aren't satisfied? Worth reading, but I can't really recommend it to people who want a practical, hands-on guide.Read full review
