Home prices have come back a little bit over the past year but not much. I was extremely blessed to sell my house in Washington, DC area (Maryland) in 8 days last year at the asking price.

One person posted their home had declined in value by $100K. That probably was at the peak of the bubble and hopefully, not what they paid for it. Hopefully, they can sell at today's prices and still make money over what they paid for the house.

You have to ask yourself if it is worth holding out for a higher price or moving to this slice of Heaven we call The Villages? I say it is wiser to sell for what you can and move here. Of course, there are still markets where it is impossible to sell at any price.
