Realtors: Location question

From what I've seen on realtor.com, there aren't many houses for sale in our neighborhood, between Sinclair Rd. and I-71, south of 161 (Salem Village). Most of the houses in our 43229 zip code are east of I-71, and those typically are much lower priced than the few in our neighborhood, because (from what I've heard), it's a rapidly declining area.

My question is, typically, is the location of the east-of-71 houses and their prices directly comparable to those in our neighborhood, and how would that affect our ability to sell?

We want to put our house on the market in Spring '09, but judging by the houses east-of-71, there's no way we could sell b/c we'd have to take $20k+  less than what we even owe on the loan.
They didn't have you where I come from...never knew the best was yet to come...

  • If you want to post your email address I can email you some comparables to help you.  I listed a house on Roche a couple years ago...do you live close by?
  • Thanks, Shanna!

    It's little_pink_umbrellas at yahoo dotcom.

    We're not too very far from Roche...we're actually on Crawford, at the cul-de-sac end.

    The house next door has been on the market for something like 16 months, and they've dropped their price several times, so it's not looking pretty for us. :-(

  • YG2M. :)  If you don't see the emails, check your bulk/deleted folders because they have links in them which sometimes make accounts think they are spam!  HTH!!
  • Thank you!

    Checking right now...

  • I wouldn't focus as much on your actual zip code as I would on your specific subdivision.  You may have to expand out in your zip code a little for comps if there aren't many homes that have sold in Salem Village in the previous 6 mos.  HTH!
