I have also been watching for more than a year now. What I have found is that some sellers WAY overprice their home. Look at the cost per SF.
I know that location can impact this, BUT NOT BY 150%!!! the average price per SF in the villages is ~$220. THERE IS NO WAY ANY PROPERTY IS WORTH MORE THAN $330/SF. All the bells and all the whistles will not make a house more than this amount.
Some sellers think all the things they have added are worth 100% of what they invested - NOT THE CASE, espically when they are electronics ( like sound systems, TVs, ceiling fans , etc.). These things are like landscaping, it is good curb appeal, and may make your home sell sooner, but do not drive up the price.
There are a LOT of homes for sale, “ kick to the curb” the overpriced, or offer a sensible price, but the best is to just move on to the next....
