The market and economy. It is much more difficult for buyers to secure financing in 2009 than in recent years. The lenders are requiring a healthier down payment and a solid credit score, as a result there are fewer qualified buyers in the market for a home. There also is a larger inventory of homes for sale in all price points. So, with more competition and fewer buyers, sellers need to price their home accordingly. It is not that the value dropped- but that the asking price was too high for current conditions.
