...and what you should be paying attention to with regard to home prices

Many home sellers have listed their homes

that were overly optimistic in what buyers would pay

there are certainly real estate agents

that will allow their sellers to test "their price"

for 30 or 60 days to see what happens

quite often these home owners get amnesia

and never get around to reducing the price

down to where the market was all along

eventually these homes sell for well below the original price

so the buyers can feel like they got a great deal

as the negotiated a price that seems like a steal of a deal

when in actuality, they paid current market price

not every situation is the same

and there are certainly sellers that are more highly motivated

the wholesale buyers are consistently making lowball offers

in the hopes that they can find a seller that has to take whatever they can get

it remains to be seen if the market is actually dropping

or if we are in a space where we are experiencing

some occassional dips in the market
