  • I'm not in an affluent neighborhood... (0 / 0)

    rather in a "family type" subdivision in the city limits.  Very modestly priced...and it seems as if something just dried up here.  Maybe its the difficulty that young people are having with even entering the market.  The last houses that have sold here in my neighborhood in the past few years have been bought by older couples who are empty nesters or have nearly grown kids.  

    My daughter and her SO bought in Perrysburg...a lot of houses up for sale, there, too...and I was surprised they got the house they got for the price they got it at.  But, then again, I think they really combed through the offerings.

    • In the affluent neighborhoods (0 / 0)

      around here, I've noticed a greater number of houses on the market as compared to other neighborhoods.  

      But, I know what you mean about things drying up.  Our old neighborhood closer in to the city was nothing fancy... my realtor friend who sold the house for us told us recently there are 8 houses for sale there... and that's just two little streets.  Those houses aren't moving either and I don't think the asking prices are even close to what they were when we sold 2 1/2 years ago.  She's said... nothing's moving.  I think there was a little rush during the summer, but now yikes... houses aren't moving at all.
