All of the reasons you stated our ture. Probably most financial and nojobs a long time coming. aFter not working a few years or trying to start some biz they have finally gotten realistic they have to move . Most are moving or at least need the cash out of their house but still are not realistic and obviously not yet that desperate or they would list for less. One couple just listed their refurbished house for a decent price not SV but East and North entrance ran their own 1/4 age in the local Ru paper and sold it price $169 what they acutally sold it for dont know yet but I am sure less.
That price range still works if the place is nice. But most of the SV houses are over $300 and $400 and according to the top realtor in town here only a few of those sell per year sometimes one per year depending on the year. > --- In [email protected], pibssmith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Sellers are refusing to take less. > > > > What is the status of most sellers? > > Have they moved out of town?
