That has happened often over the last few years. If the seller gets no offers and reduces the price to $300,000, it doesn’t mean the home dropped in value. It is still worth $300,000.\r\n\r\nHome prices will continue to appreciate over the next 12 months. In this same report, Terrazas remarks:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>“It's far too soon to call this a buyer's market, home values are still expected to appreciate at double their historic rate over the next 12 months, but the frenetic pace of the housing market over the past few years is starting to return toward a more normal trend.\"\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>What this DOES MEAN for the real estate market…\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\r\nThis does mean that sellers should \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.simplifyingthemarket.com\u002F2018\u002F07\u002F24\u002Fselling-your-home-heres-2-ways-to-get-the-best-price\u002F\">be more conservative\u003C\u002Fa> when it comes to the price at which they list their homes – especially sellers in the upper end of each market.\r\n\r\nSellers have been listing their homes at inflated prices hoping a super-hot market will deliver a buyer willing to pay virtually any price to ensure they don’t lose the house. That strategy has worked somewhat successfully over the last two years. However, the time that strategy would have worked may have passed.\r\n\r\nAgain, quoting Aaron Terrazas in the report:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>\"The housing market has tilted sharply in favor of sellers over the past two years, but there are very early preliminary signs that the winds may be starting to shift ever-so-slightly.”\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Bottom Line\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nPrices are not depreciating.
