Thanks for the comments. You are absolutely right that holding is best if possible. Unfortunately, there are many who don't have that choice. And if you are in a position where you must sell, better to make a concession and get it done.

The real intent of my comments is to illumininate the actual situation in Pinellas county. The market is likely closer to a bottom that people realize and the only way to see that is to look at the selling prices, not the listing prices. The big difference between the two will drive a correction in listing prices going forward.

I expect in the months ahead the listing prices will continue to come in line with the selling prices. The buyers will step in and the cycle will repeat.

the coments seem like a financial broker advsing his clients to sell all their investment portfolio when the market is off by 40%. When in reality, good brokers are not advising them to do that. Better advice would be to look forward and if it is near bottom, see if you can hang on a bit longer.
