For most sellers, pricing a home “at market value” sounds like the responsible move. Pull comps, match the range, list.

A year or two ago, almost anything listed in Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens sold fast. Today, agents working those zip codes describe a market that has split cleanly in two: turnkey homes still move, while properties that need renovation sit. The dividing line is no longer just price or location; it is condition, and ...

Ask a home seller in Myrtle Beach how the market feels right now, and many will say they’re giving too much away. Buyers are negotiating harder. Offers are coming in below asking.
