Yup.

The only thing you can really look at are what the same place is selling for. What I was saying about my area. One is now priced $20,000 below what I bought mine for and what one sold for a few days ago. It's a retired couple, they bought a long time ago, but now have to sell because they have to move the husband into a home because of alzheimer's. It's a poor time to have to sell quickly. You can see what "having to sell" does to you in this type of market.
