Fire Sale Prices in our community

Shirley Sellers has been frantically busy these last few weeks.  "It appears people are heeding common sense and getting the hell out, finally" she was quoted saying Friday morning in between faxes of accepted offers.

"I had always hoped we'd have a super hot market in these neighborhoods, but I didn't quite expect sale prices to be fire-sale hot" she quipped.  "But buyers have been aware of the public opinion of this community, and are accepting the drastic impact on their values" she added.

Indeed, recent sales data shows sales prices are as low as 90% of asking price, creating enticing $50,000 discounts on a lot of properties.

We asked if the price trend is expected to continue for much longer, "Is that a joke?  Why would prices go up?  Builders can't dump these properties quick enough, and last I checked no one is signing up to be on the waiting list for Cancer" Shirley belted out.

Indeed we all understand this community isn't every ones cup of tea, and while we greatly appreciate our neighbors who vigilantly continue residing here we must respect those who choose to leave us and our greater vision behind.
