Does a For Sale Sign Help Sell a House?

Many towns in the New York area have long banned the lawn signs, but some believe they still have value in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

 The New Canaan Board of Realtors had publicly announced the six-month trial ban in early June, citing the dramatic shift toward online house-hunting and a desire among its members to improve the look of the pricey town.
