The best way to see what your house is probably worth is to look on Trulia. It isn't really what it is worth, but what the banks will appraise it for. All the short sales have devalued all of our property, I believe.
We took Bill's tough advice just simply because now is the time for us to enjoy life. We are both 70.
Just sayin'. Not meant to offend.

You were smart to follow Bill's advice as he is a smart person.
I will go to trulia to check it out but my place is only a couple of thousand over the appraised value. Hopefully, my June 12th open house will yield a buyer.
I am hoping for the best and wish everyone luck in moving toward their dreams by selling their home.
As a friend of mine says, "at our age, we are looking downhill". He mentioned the prevailing wisdom of people who have said that biting the bullet to get on with their dreams is the more important.
Just sayin... Not to offend anyone.
