A year ago, homes in my neighborhood were never on the market for more than a week and several were sold for more than the asking price after a bidding war.

My wife, children, and grandchildren "pressured" me to agree to buying a one level house in Hillsborough where they live which is a 20 minute from where we live today Their concern was that my spinal stenosis and living in a 3 story house was "too risky" to be going up and down the stairs.
Because I am a beta male and have lived by the " happy wife, happy life " credo we bought the house in Hillsborough. Knowing this was not a good time to be selling in this uncertain chaotic economy, I still thought our house would sell within a week or two.
It has not sold so I am now the not proud owner of two houses. I told the missus and the kids we have no problem waiting a year or two, but it may mean spending the kid's inheritance.
My older daughter said she didn't care about her inheritance
My younger daughter said " You aren't spending mine ! "
She has all of my bad traits and I laughed saying that I would have been disappointed if she had said otherwise.Sorry for the long story; the short story is that, yes, the market sucks for home sales.
