As housing prices continue to drop, Baltimore-area residents appear increasingly reluctant to put their homes up for sale. With the market shrinking, many realtors say the only way to sell is to have a perfect house, and take a low price. Take one family, for example, who managed to sell their home for slightly less than the price they had paid for it in 2004. They had hired Baltimore, Maryland tile contractors to replace the linoleum floors in the kitchen and dining room and installed a new furnace. In addition to the tile installation, they had Baltimore contractors create an exercise room. All told they spent $15,000. But when it came time to sell, they lost money.
