We were in Sunnyvale, in an Eichler.
You are so correct, reduce what you have in the house 80% at least. Stage using common sense.
We sold four years ago at the peak, received an unbelievable price.
In Santa Barbara now, see adds for houses at 2.5mil that are fixers. Lucky to be buying a nice condo (short sale) never do that again.
Thanks for the advice/info. I sure hope the poster figures it out.

We sold in 2002 5 blocks from city hall in SF as the boom was getting started but made a killing also, making retirement possible. I feel so sorry for those who expected to do the same and are now stuck with this economy.
We moved down at retirement in Palm Springs when the prices were still dirt cheap compared to SF so it has worked out well for us
