In my case, we talked to 3 realtors about listing it. They all came with the same price that it would sell for, and we're a bit above it.

They all had the same message...turbulent market right now, don't price aggressively. You have shed some value since 2008, and its come up a bit.

So what you are seeing is "properties", and they all have a different story between townhouse, detached and condo being listed at a more realistic price. So they've done some negotiating for you already. In turn, buyers are wanting a deal right now, so a few more points are taken off for the contract.

So it doesn't surprise me that your 4 houses are being a bit closer to list than you'd like..they already took some of the money off the table when they listed, and don't want to go any further just to make it look like you are getting a deal.

Thats what I said to my offer...to hell if I'm dropping my pants for you, I'm 2 days into this process.
