Surfside's real estate market remains steady, no increase in inventory and no increase in demand.  Although pricing remains strong, houses are taking longer to sell and those priced correctly are the ones that sell quickly.  Testing a market, as a seller, during a correcting market is not a good idea because buyers are holding back and have no urgency.  Unless you have an amazing, out of the ordinary product, pricing correctly is the way to go.  Overpriced homes will end up selling for less so it is key for you to have a good strategy with your REALTOR.
