ParticipantKeep a close eye on the most recently sold comps! And how comparable are they, really?! That’s what your buyers are most likely doing. And try not to kid yourself. Be as objective as possible. Ask other people besides close friends and your realtor about your price point.
I’ve only been out to OK a few times, but I would guess that no garage is not a good thing there given the winter weather conditions.
I’ve sold homes in good and bad conditions and it never took longer than 2 months to get an offer that I could accept and close on. Having very accurate comps by my side really helped during negotiations when the buyers wanted my price to drop.peterb

ParticipantThe key word here is “normal”. As in a “normal” economy? I’ve closely analyzed the last 2 real estate cycles in CA over the last 25 years and the greatest contributing factor is the level of unemployment. I think this holds true for the entire nation. Whether one looks at Dallas, Chicago, Detroit or LA. At about 6.5% and up, the real estate market starts to really tank and doesnt come back until the number goes below 6%. One can certainly argue that states like TX did not see a bubble like much of CA, but that doesnt mean that they are immune from a down-turn due to growing unemployment. In CA we’re seeing a bubble (Liar loans) collapse followed by a recession. So we’ve got a double whammy going on that will cause it to drag out for a while. But other parts of the country arent off the hook just because they didnt have a bubble in their market.
