My next-door neighbor listed his property for what I thought was a little too high. To my amazement, there was a steady stream of lookers. My new neighbor told me there were four offers and his was accepted because it was the only cash offer. Two other homes are also on the market and have pending offers. My neighborhood has about 85 units, split about evenly between single family and condos, with a few townhouses in the mix. All three of the homes that sold are single family. One of the condos was owned by a recently deceased person whose son-in-law I know. They had a garage sale a few weeks ago and already have offers, and it's not even listed yet.

I also have a winter home in Arizona and I'm starting to get cold calls from realtors asking if I want to sell. I will be selling that property, probably next fall. The last home in that neighborhood with my same floor plan sold for almost double what I paid for it six years ago. I just hope that the capital gins tax is still at 15 percent by the time we sell. A Biden "win" would probably screw that up.

There was an estate sale about a half mile from where we live. The home is on 5+ acres and looks like a Spanish home for a very rich owner with its own little vineyard.

An enterprising real estate lady got permission from the heirs to put up a table to sell the home during the estate sale. She got some dream bottom line suggestions from the heirs. She ended up with several offers over the dream offers and other backup offers.
