Participant[quote=zzz]sdgrrl, there are a lot of people with unrealistic prices/ expectations and won’t sell unless they can get what they want. we put in several offers last year that the owners were offended by, and ultimately pulled their houses off the market. The thing is, in 2 instances, they wanted to move elsewhere, so I have no idea if they are putting that on hold or not. The homes that are stagnating are not in great condition, do not have a great flow/layout, nor great lot sizes / streets for the prices they are asking. I think its actually quite simple. The houses that are quality at the right price are moving, the others are not attractive in this market because people can’t justify having to settle to that extent and pay that much $$[/quote]
Agree with a lot of your words. My dream house that I wrote about above is amazing. Hardwood floors, guest house, architecturally turn of the century…takes my breath away (for me anyway, huge lot. If I had the money and were very economically stable/comfortable the asking price to me would be well worth it. I would snatch it up in a second. Until then I will simply walk my dog around it and dream…

Participantlol, sdgrrl and GaTech!
Of course you were brought up with closets and bathrooms as big (or bigger) than a typical bedroom in a beach community here! All situated on a very ample spread with plenty of parking and a matching brick mailbox at the curb, no doubt. That’s “middle-class life” in TX for you. My experience with Texans is that 95% percent of them never leave their beloved home state, even for college! If they end up stationed in the military somewhere else, they are promptly relocated back home upon retirement.
I think you guys/gals might just be “pioneering Texans!!”
