"Following Market to Heartbreak" by Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Media Services

While in Sarasota recently I read this piece in the Herald Tribune's Real Estate section.  I believe it speaks to many of the current situations and is worthy of a read whether you are a buyer or seller.

Q.  I have a problem, My property was appraised about five years ago for 50 per cent more than what it's worth now, according to the local assessor's value.
