I have mainly been using websites such as Trulia, PascoGov, CnnMoney, etc.

Best I can tell, prices have dropped about 30% since mid 2006 and nicer houses are going for around $80-90 per sqft.

Given this, I would expect to pay around 300K for a newer 3500sqft house that sold for around 450K at the peak of the market (oversimplification, I know).  

However, I am still seeing most of these type of houses listed in the high 300s, sometimes over 400K.  

Is my analysis way off?  Or are sellers still asking too much?  Given the recent sales figures, I can't imagine that a lender's appraisal will come close to these numbers, especially when prices are forecast to continue dropping for at least another year.

Is there a huge difference between asking price and sale price?

(And please don't tell me to contact a realtor - I already know I need to do that!!!)]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:16:16 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[My first time to this site...how do I set up to see comps on this site please?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Using_Trulia/My_first_time_to_this_site_how_do_I_set_up_to_se-108163]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Tue, 7 Apr 2009 13:33:28 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[can a mortgage lender put a freeze on my bank account?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Foreclosure/can_a_mortgage_lender_put_a_freeze_on_my_bank_acco-127285]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Thu, 21 May 2009 17:05:09 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Looking for a front lake lot.

As a FL property owner I also understand that your market is in especially bad shape right now.  I am just blown away that I can't find ANYONE willing to take a listing for a rental or sale in Fort Pierce.  The last Realtor I spoke with told me to "put the keys in the mailbox and call the bank to get them."  Numerous other Realtors never even returned my calls.  Is there anyone who can give me a hand finding a tenant or helping me sell my condo in Fort Pierce?  From one Realtor to another, I need some help.]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Sun, 31 May 2009 10:41:28 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am interested in buying a condo (2/2) at Cite on the Bay.
