You cannot honestly believe your house is 79.9k and your neighbors house is the exact same model, and its 79.9k. Apparently you are not paying attention to what is being said on this thread.
I sold my house this year, and got my asking price for it, which was more than the previous sale of the identical town house unit down the street that had been owned by non-smokers.
That is REALITY. Not averages, or statistics, REALITY.
it may not be your REALITY, but it is mine. Getoverit.
Again, being the anomaly does not create a greater reality. I'm glad you got your asking price, but your 1 sale does not prove a trend or fact.
I work with people who buy and sell houses in the hundreds per year.. and some that rehab and sell retail for all cash at 4+ a month. Believe me when they talk they know about whats going on in the greater market. There are always cases outside the trend, and I am glad you got your asking price... however it doesn't prove the fact that buyers don't penalize homes that smell or look of smoke. Which they most certainly do.
