-There may be some softening in the SF market (do your research) I'm just basing this off the fact that I'm noticing that inventory is staying on the market a bit longer than usual, but that could also be b/c we're heading into the fall season.

That's the only kinds of property that I see a softening with currently.

The market here is still very strong, but softening a little, so it's still a good time to maximize return on the sale. 

@Reggie Johnson About a year ago you wouldn't have had much issue but all hard money is starting to tighten up their qualifications because of the market softening.

The market is definitely softening right now and becoming more of a buyers market. 

However, the amount I owe this year is shockingly high and so I just thought I'd look into possible ways to soften the blow.Thanks!

Has the market softened since 06/18?

Sure, things have softened a little bit but this is by no means (in my market) a downturn.

Always love our back and forths...and hysterical was the question, not the person...and the explanation should have softened the wording.Also, the poster commented later that I was right, when he rephrased his question....and you're right, this is a forum...and it should be fun. 

Now I'm slowly seeing the market softening, so I may start making some offers soon.
