My neighbour just listed for 1.2 million. I know for a fact he has less than a million total into his house (it's a year old) and although it's a swanky pad with an insane amount of upgrades, I put his chances of selling in the 0-3% range. There are about 10 other listings in my 'hood that are 800+, and NOTHING is selling. Trying to make a buck is totally unrealistic right now.

Unless you are willing to break even or lose, you're not making money anytime soon in this market. It's not Flip this house on A&E.
In my neck of the woods it's the same. I live in the slums not the ritzy area but a lot of the >750 k homes are still listed at what I'd call 2014 prices. There is a pretty nice house at 900 that's been on the market for 3-4 months at least. Another just popped up at 950
