In my travels of the last 24 hours, I have noticed a lot of people who have been trying to sell their homes since April or so, getting very angry at those who have SOLD very quickly.
"Of course THEY sold their home...they GAVE IT AWAY!!!
These are the days, the important days that say "will you sell before November?" when owners decide IF they are going to sell their homes, stay in them, or rent them out. Those who truly are selling vs. listing need to "get real" and realize that if no one has bought it since April...holding out for your price may not be the way to go.
The SOLD prices are all that matters, and to BE SOLD, you have to stop being angry and start getting real. Personally, I don't think taking it off market in November and bringing it back next April is going to give you a better result than selling it today. I don't think home prices are weak short term, and coming back by next Spring here in the Seattle Area. My $.02...YMMV,
