Reply to comment by invenio78 in Dover builds tiny home neighborhood by sheila9165milo

I know of 6 houses in a development that were finished right before the 08 mess, guy won't drop the price from 350k, and they've been raided for copper from the meter and furnace out, sheet rock is trashed, and exterior has never been redone. I can see the value of the land itself might be high, but the amount of money going into making it livable, that shouldn't be the asking price. Most he does is mow the lawns, they've never had occupants other than the occasional squatter.

Housing prices, much like any other commodity go up and down in value. If you are concerned about housing prices going up, don't look at how much you are paying for eggs now compared to a year ago.

You example just says that he was not listing his house at the proper market value. If he did, he would have sold it (whether it be 2008, 2009, or 2023).
