You can put a FSBO sign up and "ask" as much as you want, but that doesn't mean that you will have anyone look at your house let alone make an offer. Buyers right now are few and far between and they have done their research and know what property values are. In the very unlikely even that you did get an offer for the amount you are asking, there is no way that the buyers would get financing after the bank does an appraisal and your property comes in at 50% of what you are asking.
I'm not being negative, just realistic.
I agree with everything you are saying CCK but buyers are not few. They are everywhere! We did not lose buyers. We lost value. They show up when they see a value. Until then it is a giant waste of time to list unless you can take a serious unbiased look at true market value based on recent sale data.
I don't even like to look at actives when pricing a home. New definition for active: Homes currently on the market not selling!
