Question - are there any units for sale in Lake Barrington Shores that are over-priced and how can you tell? Well if your unit has been for sale more than the average marketing time of 211 days, if your showings are slow to non existent, if you had many showings but no offers then you may well be over-priced. If you listed the unit for sale last spring, prices have fallen since then so your price if too high at that time will cewrtainly be too high now. We as Realtors know that this is a very hard pill to swallow, most of us are also home owners and have seen our own property values decline. However if you have to sell, holding your price if it is too high is not going to bring you a buyer.
