A friend took far less on their house/barn (started at $690k last Aug and sold for $590K) than they hoped. But at the same time they were able to work a deal on a house three times the size of their old place. They paid $750K for a house that was selling for $850K last year. Hopefully the markets will have stabilized and the buyers will be eager in April when ours goes on the market. With the interest rates inching down, the buyer is definitely in the driver’s seat.
