Anecdote from my neighborhood. A house down the street went up for sale last week, and given the comps from last year I expected an outrageous price, particularly since this same house sold only a year or so ago. I was surprised to find that it's up for $419k. Based on last year's comps I expected more like $519k. I still think it's overpriced (the neighborhood was going for ~$225k 4 years ago), but it's definitely lower than I expected. It will be interesting to see how it does on the market.
Edit: Here's the listing: . Seems the last sale was a little longer ago than I remembered, May 2005.
