Important Context
The RVM (Realtors Valuation Model) estimates your home at $949,790 — but that is an automated estimate, not a real-world sale price. The CMA value of $777,609 is based on what homes like yours are actually selling for right now. That gap of $172,000 between what algorithms think and what buyers are paying tells you everything about this market.

Chasing the Market Down — In Real Time
This is the same model as your home. Slightly larger at 3,488 sq ft, on the same 6,000 sq ft lot, built the same year. They hired the wrong realtor, priced it based on hope instead of data, and now they are watching their equity evaporate in real time.
$91,000 Lost in 91 Days
That is $1,000 per day in lost value. And it is still sitting. 112+ days on the market and counting. Every day that passes, the price drops further. This is what happens when you overprice in a correcting market — you don't just miss the window, you chase it down a cliff.
Meanwhile: 1885 Marina Dr — The Smart Play
A 3,337 sq ft home listed at $730,000 and sold 85 days later for $743,000 — above asking. They priced it right from day one. No chasing. No panic. No $91,000 in losses. They walked away with their equity intact and are now free to invest it wherever they choose.
Why This Market Is Correcting
This is not speculation. These are the economic forces actively pushing property values down right now. Every one of these factors is getting worse, not better.
Mortgage Rates Climbing
30-year fixed rates rose 16 basis points in the last week alone. Higher rates = fewer qualified buyers = lower offers.
Oil Prices Surging
Geopolitical tensions are driving oil toward $100/barrel. This directly increases construction costs, transportation costs, and inflation — all of which suppress home values.
Tariffs Raising Costs
New tariffs are adding $600 per household in costs. Companies are passing these costs to consumers, squeezing budgets and reducing purchasing power for homes.
Consumer Confidence Cratering
March 2026 consumer sentiment hit 53.3 — the bottom 1st percentile in the survey's entire history. When consumers are this fearful, they don't buy homes.
Stagflation Fears
The combination of rising prices and slowing growth is the worst possible environment for real estate. The spring housing market is under direct threat.
Days on Market Rising
Homes in River Islands are sitting for an average of 94 days. That's over 3 months of carrying costs, stress, and declining value while you wait for a buyer.
River Islands by the Numbers
30 homes sold last month in River Islands. 24 of them had to reduce their price to match actual market value — totaling over $3,000,000 in price reductions in a single month. Sellers are not paying attention to the signals. The ones who are? They are already out.

What If You Had Invested Your Equity Instead?
If you had taken $117,000 in equity last year and invested it in the stock market instead of letting it sit in a depreciating asset, here is what would have happened. These are real returns, not projections.

+40.9%
-$117,000
-100% (projected)
At -$10K/month decline, your equity reaches zero in ~12 months. Your home returns to what you paid in 2018.
The Math Does Not Lie
$117,000 invested in NVIDIA one year ago would be worth $187,372 today — a gain of $70,372. That same $117,000 sitting in your home's equity? It is actively shrinking by $10,000 every single month. Savvy investors are not holding real estate in a correcting market. They are selling, protecting their equity, and putting it to work in assets that are actually growing.
This Is Not Losing Money.
This Is Being First.
The natural instinct is to hold. To wait. To hope the market comes back. But that instinct is exactly what costs homeowners the most in a correction. The ones who sell first are not "losing" — they are the ones who walk away with their equity intact while everyone else watches theirs evaporate.
You mentioned you are moving to India in May. You mentioned you do not want to rent it out. And you mentioned you are not in a rush to sell. But here is what "not in a rush" actually costs: $10,000 per month. Every month you hold this property, you are paying $10,000 for the privilege of watching your equity disappear.
The plan to "hold and wait until it goes back up" is the exact strategy that wiped out homeowners in 2008. It took many of them 7 to 10 years to recover their equity. Some never did.
Hesitation does not protect you. It is the most expensive decision you can make right now.

The bottom line: You have $157,000 in equity right now. In 12 months, at the current rate of decline, you will have $37,000. The smart money is not waiting to see what happens — they are selling, capturing their equity, and reinvesting it into assets that are growing. The ones who wait? They are the ones who end up telling the story of how they "should have sold when they had the chance."
Be the one who made the smart decision. Not the one who tells the story about missing it.
