We sold in CA in 2006, just as the price of housing had dropped. Our agent gave us a realistic price to sell the house for. I wasn't thrilled at first, but realized that my friend had still not sold her house and it had been on the market for a bit. We decluttered, repainted, spruced up the landscaping and the very first people who looked at the house, bought, and at the price we listed it for. Our agent told us we could ask more, but we might just have to wait for a while to get a buyer. House prices were dropping rapidly at that point and waiting might not improve our chances of getting a higher price. Did we want to let a few thousand dollars slow down our opportunity to move forward? Neighbors who lived across the street from us put their house on the market about a year after we moved and they have still not sold that house. The market changed and they were caught in the downward spiral. We still made a great profit, we owned the house for over 30 years. You will have to decide and determine how much you need to get in order to move without too much financial stress. Just remember though, if you don't sell, you still have expenses to deal with and that can diminish some of the "profit" you might get by waiting.

We here are waiting your arrival. Drive safely on your way down.
