I price my home $630k and sell $610k. Is that a sign of a slowing market?


It is if there is only one offer


Lol, NP but that is so arbitrary

As they should be. Noticed that many just sold houses are having a Zillow or redfin estimate negative 50- 300K from the sale price!

The problem is that number of offers are now less but prices are still high.

We've been looking for a 2-3 bedroom in DC or a close-in suburb and can say that this is NOT our recent experience. Still tons of offers, everyone is waiving everything, still fighting for half-decent houses, etc etc.

I don't think condos are comparable at all.

Definitely slowing. We are looking now and have an offer in. There were zero other offers. No paying above ask price. They even took the deal with an appraisal and inspection contingency in place. Seeing a ton more inventory come to market as well and building up. The window to get peak prices has probably closed now. Everything is getting back to normal.

Once the Fed stops buying MBS and interest rates rise, it'll significantly cool the market down like the PP was saying.

Not a bubble, but the Fed will likely taper its purchasing of MBSs soon, mortgage rates will increase, and we'll see a deceleration in home prices.
