Actually we all know when end of year pricing for cars goes into effect. So yes, this is a serious question and yours was zero help.

Wow! Somebody wants to try to keep their home values up, lol.

O.P. You absolutely should wait. Generally, the longer you wait, the easier it will to see if a price is going to drop.

To prove there was a bottom in prices, you have to start to see prices rise, which may be proceeded by a flat price for a long period of time, or maybe not if certain economic events occur.

I think you need to understand the current market. Next, location is everything. Next, if it's a resale, you don't know if the sellers started to high and are realizing the market is correcting to a buyers market since interest rates are up. In short, you need to decide what the real price will need to be and make an appropriate offer, and go from there.

One thing is certain
 

One thing is certain, prices haven’t started climbing yet. Most have or are still going down.

Yep
 

I have yet to a home here for sale with “price increased”…lol

I do feel we may be close to the bottom, but then again you can never be too sure.

They do not consider offers below the stated price for new homes.

I'm in a 2004 neighborhood, Ashland, and all my neighbors who bought then said the market was HOT, HOT, HOT. If you didn't put your money down the day a site or home came on the market, you lost it to someone else.

Although currently appears true, will the OP only buy with rising prices as proof of rock bottom prices, or will the OP not buy because he waited for rock bottom and missed it. .

buying into a rising market from a substantial period of stable prices is a better bet, but not a guaranteed bet. The future is always uncertain, sometimes more uncertain that at other times. ..

Really? A home in Eastport at 7956 Jeff Anderson Way just increased its price from 325K to 328K. At least according to the RedFin alert I received this morning.

Currently it’s a buyers market in The Villages. That is true but still there are many houses over priced and sellers attempting to get twice what they paid for it two or three years ago. Occasionally a buyer will come along with a satchel full of money and offer very close to the asking price because they can and the property is very close to what they want. It’s an interesting real estate market (a relative new buyers market) in The Villages but overall a better market here for the buyer and seller than you will find elsewhere because it’s still The Villages and it’s still a wonderful place to retire and live.

Small increase or decrease in price returns the home to page one on MLS. It is a trick realtors use to get more views of the home.

Of course. Occasionally also done when a planned update or renovation is completed on the listed house (i.e.- replaced bedroom carpeting or painted interior).

Yes
 

I would sit tight. It isn’t like prices, if or when they start back up again, will skyrocket overnight. They are still moving downward.

Good to know...but do you mean north of 466 or north of 466A?
