The Real Estate Deal
Editor Cindy Zetts dishes on real-estate and development around Puget Sound: She lived in apartments, townhomes and houses -- a dozen of them in four states -- before settling in the Seattle area in 1997. After taking a bath on the sale of her first home, in South Florida, she vowed to wise up about real estate. She bought a house in Covington 10 years ago because, well, she could afford one there.

Armchair agents, try this real-estate pricing game
Posted by Cindy Zetts
I've said that I have a passion for real estate. I enjoy reading about it, checking out homes, watching the market ups and downs. Now ZipRealty has launched a real-estate pricing game, Price Me Now. In the interest of research, I had to play.
The game tests how well you know the market in a particular area. You can play one area or several, estimating the selling price on five homes. You're ranked with other players based on your Property IQ. Mine is 111 after playing 15 houses (111 out of what, I'm not sure). I played Covington and Maple Valley, where I pay close attention to sales and prices. We'll see whether I really pay attention or just think I do.
Give it a whirl. What's your IQ?
