Right now I've noticed a lot of those price reduced signs myself. The market is defintely cooling off but I don't think anybody could expect it to sustain the recent growth.
. My house has nearly doubled in value since I purchased it. That's before any of my sweat equity.

Right now it's kind of a double edged sword. I personally would like to see the market continue to grow strong. At the same time, a lot of my piers and friends are being priced out of the market or forced to buy a house with what I call vodoo financing (ARMs, Intrest only etc)

Right now my house has appreciated to the point that if I were to buy it today, I couldn't afford to put a 20% downpayment (which I did) without dipping into my Roth IRA or selling the S2000
