What do you see in your housing market this weekend? Auctions or builder incentives? Editorial cartoons? Statistics? "Remember when you could count on condominiums to carry the housing market, even as sales of single-families began to languish? Not anymore."

"The amount of time it takes to sell a condominium in Massachusetts has skyrocketed 46 percent in the past year, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors."

From New York. "We raised a cautious question recently. We asked why, in a market where big time media like The New York Times are writing sad songs about the East End’s glutted homes for sale market, would east end real estate firms fill pages of full page ads saturated with all the houses for sale they could fit in the space?"

"Self defeating to my mind, implying that an inventory overflow may indeed be true! Buyers note: there are some wonderful homes out there, in that range, waiting to be picked off."

From Ohio. "'The number of sellers who entered the market outpaced the number of buyers, so while homes continued to sell, there were far more listings on the market,' Akron Area Board of Realtors President Bill Askin said. 'People's perception was that the market was soft because there were so many signs up in neighborhoods.'"

From the topics thread. "I live in Santa Monica, I sold my home about a year ago and now I’m renting. My home did not appraise for the price the buyer offered, but they insisted on buying my house anyway even though it was valued 30k under their bid."

"The value of the home I sold dropped and I received a letter from my buyer (via my real estate agent) stating that they believe they overpaid and they had the nerve to ask me for 30k, the value of the property today."

"They gave me a long song and dance about how much money I made on the property and how it would only be fair for me to return the money. Of course I told them to take a hike. Would they have shared the $$ with me if the property increased in value? Buyers remorse is a bitch."
