MARKET SYNOPSIS: Tamarron homes are selling but not at the
prices that sellers would like to see. Today's market is accepting
homes under $80.00 a sq ft. This is a substantial price reduction for
this area. As you can see, the current sellers think their homes
will sell at $ 130-150/sq ft. The two homes that have sold since
January might be distress sales or foreclosed homes. List prices
have been reduced but still not a lot of activity in this area.
If you have to sell your Tamarron Estates home now, the market
place is telling you that you need to be under $100 a sq ft or
less to see your home sold.
