The home was never worth $450,000. That was the wish plan as they establish an image of value due to Golf course location, pond location, near the Town Center, etc, etc. But we buy for the lifestyle. When most homes are sold in an area, the discounts come out for the stragglers which were not sold. TV is not selling at a loss but reducing the premiums they attempt to market so they can move on to the next area.
