Yes, this is a buyers market, but you still will not be able to steal a house.

I certainly think buyers should be able to get a good deal on a house in the current market -- after all, there are more sellers than buyers in the market. And maybe, sometimes, buyers will get a great deal. And occasionally, an unbelievably amazing deal. But some buyers seem to think they should be able to steal any house on the market. Oh, I like that one that is listed at $225K. Let's offer $175K -- they'd be lucky to have me buy it for $175K! Hmmm, OK, so they're asking $375K. I would only be willing to pay $310K for the house -- I mean, c'mon, it is a buyers market, right? It is important for both buyers and sellers to have a firm understanding of what to expect in the current market. Are you just starting to consider buying or selling? A great starting point is my monthly market report, or I'd be happy to meet with you to give you a thorough understanding of our local real estate market -- and help you set reasonable expectations for buying or selling in today's market.
