Comments on: Losing Blogger Series Part 3: Is a Declining Market Always a Bad Thing? http://www.denver-realestateonline.com/2007/10/25/losing-blogger-series-part-3-is-a-declining-market-always-a-bad-thing/ A Denver Real Estate & Living in Denver Blog Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:59:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Steve Scheer http://www.denver-realestateonline.com/2007/10/25/losing-blogger-series-part-3-is-a-declining-market-always-a-bad-thing/#comment-869 Steve Scheer Sat, 27 Oct 2007 03:35:46 +0000 http://www.denver-realestateonline.com/2007/10/25/losing-blogger-series-part-3-is-a-declining-market-always-a-bad-thing/#comment-869 Steve, I think that in relation to the rest of the country, most parts of the Denver area do not have it as bad at all. While some areas of Denver have dropped a little I see it more as things have stabled out right now. Most people are still not thrilled with having their values not increase at the rates they were in years past, and overall we are not seeing prices drop like they are elsewhere in the country - as sellers they still would rather get top dollar and that is just not realistic. But I think your point is very valid - and people have to realize that while it can be harder to be a seller, that can come back to them as a buyer. Thanks for guest authoring on my blog, it was a pleasure. Here's to game 3 - Go Rockies!

I'm headed out shortly to a listing appointment for a house that was listed in August at $465,000. Realistically, it can sell for $325,000-$340,000. That's a $125,000 problem I need to find a way to make this seller "happy" about. That's the story in many parts of the Phoenix market (not all, but many). Best of luck tonight in the series.

You just need to tell it like it is. Honestly is ALWAYS the best policy (but I can tell you already subscribe to that). Good Luck with that Steve. You just need to tell it like it is.
