I'm putting my house on the market & every real estate agent is telling its a fantastic time...buyers have been put on hold for so long they are bursting at the seams to move & with % rates low its a great time to sell. One agent told me houses are selling in less than 30 days.

Yeah. You never want to bid full price unless its an insanely good deal. It really depends on how long the house has been on the market as to what percent under the asking price they will take. They usually go by a standard equation like 5 days best offer or 85% asking price. 30 days 75%. 60 days basically whatever they can get. There are some good websites that will do the equations for you. But if your patient and know how to bid you can find some real steals.

I had my house appraised 7 years ago at 234k. Appraised two months ago at 275k. Go figure.

We are waiting another year or so until we buy to save up a larger downpayment. Hope the prices don't get too out of control in the next few years but based on reports, interest rates are at least going to stay steady.

The house I live in Olathe has went down about 15k since I bought it 4 yrs ago. Every year the county appraiser has lowered the value on my home. The county appraised value has even went down 20k

not necessarily true. houses around us are selling like hotcakes. The longest a home in our neighborhood has sat was about 3 months, and that was because it has structural issues, and even it finally sold. There are 4 houses within 2 blocks that have sold in under 2 weeks, including the one across the street our friends just bought the day it hit the market.

If its at market value, most here within a day or two. A week at the most.

Listen to this little predicament I find myself in. My wife and I have been looking to purchase our first house. We offer on a short sale, and then find another we like better, so we retract offer on said short sale house. We then look at this house a couple times, we like what we see, so we decided to put an offer on it. We bartered back and forth, and came to an acceptable price for both parties. We sent in the inspector and he found some major issues. We then (per our written agreement/contract) withdrew our offer from the house. They now are threatening to take us to court (which they really cant), the bad thing is that the legal counsel has said we cannot do anything for a week. The reason this sucks is a house we direly wanted fell out of contract yesterday, so we cannot see it for a week, I hope it lasts lol.
