Go 25 miles east, south, southwest or northwest of my local market and things are very different, not necessarily better or worse, just different.
Yeah, and it really distorts buyers and sellers brains when they see in the news these "General" nationwide statistics or fluff pieces on the Today Show. They think moving from Florida to Texas, the housing market should also be down here 40%.
I've had a few buyers lately tell me "I lost $150k on the sell of my house in Tampa, I've got to make that up here in Dallas"
When you tell them it ain't gonna happen, they think you're not being truthful because the NY paper reported sales are down nationwide and every other house is a foreclosure.

According to TIME Magazine 2 weeks ago... Total price reductions in June, Dallas, TX was 3rd overall in the country with 38% of inventory being reduced an average of 9% and a total reduction of $164,878,956.
I listed a property 2 weeks ago.....not a single showing yet. Can't even consider reducing the price unless some other comparable places sell and my listing is seen by doesn't get an offer. But without even a single visit, no feedback, no reason to even do anything! S-L-O-W........

Was that for the city of Dallas only or all the other 26 cities in the Metroplex ? Coppell a suburb of Dallas still has strong sales and stable prices.
Are you talking all of DFW or just pockets ? This is a great example of the crap put out that is misleading.

I don't know - I was hoping you could clarify based on your previous comments. Seems to me the "fluff pieces" (as you call them) are much more about positive RE things - like the "stabilization" you mention. That seems to be the current pet term.
What makes Coppell immune to what is happening in the rest of the country? I'm genuinely curious.
I'm spinning like a top.... working like mad and stuff is coming together here and there. We have a really short season up here. Everytime I go online I see "sale pending"on yet another property. We have a ton of inventory and the comps are way low, it would suck to be Seller right now. This girl is busy that's all I can tell ya, we need agents.
OP, when your home is overpriced the market does inevitably seem slow. Your house can still sell but it's going to cost you a major price reduction based on the info from your other thread.
