Default In my hood I have seen...

So much depends on when you bought....

We bought in the spring of 2007 as did many in my 'hood. At that time the DIRT (no homes yet) was in Hadley, the dirt is now in Sanibel.

I am aware of three in the hood that sold in the spring of 2010.

One was $255k in 2007 and sold in 2010 for $225k
One was $233k in 2007 and sold in 2010 for $207k
One was $284k in 2007 and sold in 2010 for $235k

This is just my little 'hood. These numbers fit with most of my investments in life, buy high and hope....

PS. To be fair with full disclosure on these numbers, I live in the best 'hood in The Villages
