My purely unscientific sampling from conversations with realtors and residents trying to sell houses in HPP has me hearing tales of cut-throat negotiating on the part of buyers. They are out there, and they are buying, but they are still demanding price cuts and/or other concessions of a major sort. In one case, the buyer demanded all the furniture and furnishings other than personal photos and family memorabilia on top of a recent price drop. If the buyers don't get what they see as a good deal, they just move on until someone gives it to them. But like I said, this is just what I hear from friends and neighbors. Glad I don't need to be selling, and don't intend to.
