Not sure what you mean by  sub-par homes... we have a strong seller's market but people are not buying for the sake of buying and expect value for the money they spend.

I have seen some examples over the years.   Reality matters.

While our overall market still favors sellers with multiple offers and sales over list price still occurring, we are also seeing some increased inventory, longer days on the market and price changes(and often after a very short time).   It comes down to neighborhoods and certain price points

Once they realize it the home can't sell at that price, they either go with right price or get back into the home!

There was a big shift in the Metro Atlanta market. It did cover for the previous drought. But once it reached where we are right now, it kind of slowed. Sellers are still asking for too much, but we see a lot of price reduction going on.

There are always sub-par homes trying to sneak in amoung the sellers that take the time to make their house ready for the market. As prices increase, the sellers decide to do less & less work. 

Your buyers will start to balk now at the condition just watch.

There are a lot of $500,000 + houses with evident listing longevity, that are clearly the result of 'INSPIRED' pricing.

The PROM QUEEN, as always sells fast.

Be aware, within a real estate market their will exist, simultaneously a buyer, seller and balanced market. The  400K+ segment is shifting towards the direction of a buyers market as inventory continues to grow. Meanwhile the 350K (-) is still a strong sellers market.

In our market, sellers have been dictating price. However, no reasonable buyer will overpay for any property. Sellers who want to sell must set a price which will attract buyers - and appraise!

No more than usual.

Not really seeing this as a Seller's Market anymore down here Jeff, it's more a level playing field in that 50% of sellers are reducing prices and sitting 30-60 days while the other half are still experiencing multiple offers. So, it depends on the Micro-market and property type as to who's in control. Buyers are getting good at sweating the sellers down in price by simply taking their time with offers.
