Buyer Beware: Real Estate Re-Listing

With the housing market in a slump, some real estate agents have come up with a clever, if troubling, tactic to sell homes. "Nightline" sits down with a real estate agent who "re-lists" homes that have been on the market for over 70 days and haven't sold. Unknowing agents and buyers think the houses were just put on the market, unaware of the original price, or how long the home has actually sat on the market. Read more here. Some home sellers argue that "re-listing" is the only way to cope during this tough financial period, but some buyers feel deceived. Vicki Mabrey reports.

The Marriage Pit

In Las Vegas — wedding capitol of the world — the business of "I do" is quite the moneymaker. Second only to gambling, tying the knot rakes in an estimated $900 million per year for Sin City. With so much at stake, and so many competing chapels, the business of luring in love birds can be cutthroat. Outside the county courthouse, handbillers representing different chapels, wait in the so called "marriage pit," bombarding newlyweds, handing out flyers, and making a pitch for couples to get married at their chapel. It can all be a lot to handle as Chris Bury reports.

We hope you'll join us.
