Wow those are some frightening cancellation rates.
You should see the DOM (days on market) of properties I'm looking at. 120-200 isn't unusual, and some over a year.
I tend to agree with Kass that there is more fallout to come. Which is why I'm not rushing to pay seller's prices right now, even thought they've come down some. I think better prices will be available.
And if not, I think we'll see stagnant pricing for some time.
With all the money that's required to own a house these days, renting is still not off the table either. At least until I find a property I really love!
The white man seeks to conquer nature, to bend it to his will and to use it wastefully until it is all gone and then he simply moves on, leaving the waste behind him and looking for new places to take. Chiksika (Kispokotha Shawnee),March 19,1779
