What is the appraised value of the home. What are similar homes selling for in the same area.

Not what the homes sold for 2 years ago, but now, have there been foreclosures within the 3 or 4 block area. ** they can bring home values down 10 or 20 percent over night since their foreclsoure value is used as a sale value when finding the value of a home.

What was the asking price 2 years ago when it went on the market.

If the asking price 2 years ago was still 175 K, to be honest the 135 was too high a offer to start with.
