For these home sellers, their hopes and dreams rise and fall with each uptick or downturn in the economy. They keep their azaleas neatly clipped, their yards mowed and edged.
And across Greater Memphis, they were eager for the Realtors' "Nationwide Open House," a weekend of home shopping that brought out potential buyers, people who were "just looking" and others who wanted a peek at their neighbors' things.
Some of those looking on Saturday and Sunday are trying to find a house before tax credits up to $8,000 expire April 30.
Mortgage interest rates had been in the 5 percent range before starting up again last week. Buyers hope to get in before rates go higher. Owners don't say much about it, but they are hostage to an economy that seems to sputter even as it slowly gets back into gear.
