I came across a survey of homeowners that I think is very enlightening for many reasons. This Zillow real estate survey (a real estate aggregator and internet portal) asks homeowners what they think of their home value and what its value will be in the future. They also ask what the homeowner thinks about their home in relation to others in the market.

Perhaps the greatest thing about the Zillow real estate survey is that we can look at past and current surveys to see the trend of homeowner “consumer confidence” as it is measured using the home as the standard. Not surprisingly, homeowners are much more aware of the depreciation that has occurred in the past two years than they were just last year. But what do they think of their home value versus that of their neighbors?

Unfortunately, the rest of the market is not seeing a whole lot of vitality. Homes that are aggressively positioned in the market are doing quite well (we have one home that had 6 offers on it last week and we negotiated a contract at a price higher than what the seller was asking), but for the most part, the rest are stagnant.
