Here’s a game you can play during that long airport layover. Or in the car coming back from Mammoth or Vegas. (No texting while driving!)
These homes have all appeared in the blog. Since then, one went off the market. Some had price reductions. Others have staying power.
Guess which listings have gone down or away recently, then click on the photo to see if you’re right.

Who cares?!
The higher-end properties aren’t being affected like the rest. It’s usually the $1-1.5 million range and down that are dwindling.
The higher end is just as affected.
But more out of touch and delusional about their property values.
Those aren’t selling prices, they are “asking” prices.
Keep asking.
The only companies to post profits this year- Walmart and Amazon- were also the only companies who significantly lowered their “asking” prices.
Second home on top row is selling for 1.1 million.
Unfortunately, all of them!
The high end home were holding their “asking price” better only because they have money to hold out longer. Come back in two to three months from now and lets see the asking price.
