I will say homes in our area are now selling much faster here in the past 3 months or so, and for surprisingly higher end prices than we would have figured. Yes, less than 2 years ago, but still got great offers. Two have sold, and one is in escrow in our immediate area. Considering what has occurred in the past 2 years, that is remarkable, and no doubt is a tell tale sign in my opinion.
They won’t get the 225. But they paid 144 and put about 6 in. So let’s say they have 150 in. If they sell for 200 and pay an agent 6% they’ll still do okay.
