Nicely decorated doesn't mean a thing unless you are selling it furnished. The bottom line is still the price/sq ft, especially now when people want a deal and know they can get it. If you can rent for a while, I suggest you do that if you don't want to sell at a "give-away" price, because that, my friend, is what it's going to take if you really want to sell now. The other option would be owner financing if you can swing that, that would definitely help with the tight credit these days. Good luck, times are tough, I do hope it works out for you.

I live in the peoria area 85382 and have one house up for a short sale at $199 and smaller, which I think short sale means boaderline foreclosure, 2 which are priced to just get rid of next door. Our home is really decorated nice and we've always kept it in tip top condition, lots of amenities. Our home is selling for $228, the others are $145 & $150. How do I compete with out dropping my price to a give away. If I can ask a question…..

Your question is pretty broad (Glendale is a large geographic area) and of course it ultimately depends on location and on your needs and wants. Currently there are old ca. 1950's ranch homes with large lots listed in the lower $200K range. The price point for newer homes with large lots probably start in the mid $300K range. For current market conditions click on the chart with the rotating graphs or follow this link: http://tinyurl.com/4sqw33 If you like a detailed market report, please email me the zip code you are interested in.

They do not have to be horse properties, but I was wondering what you think that segment of the market is doing, and where the best deals are?
