What Makes Hartwell Sell?

Price is what a willing seller and a willing buyer agree on. Price is determined by the current market, which fluctuates causing home values and prices to fluctuate. Often Hartwell that does not sell is over-priced for the current market. Terms can vary as well. Some owners want payment in full, some are willing to carry a second.
Location is a major consideration in pricing and desirability for Hartwell. Has the neighborhood gone to pot or does it look like a street at Disneyland? Are there open spaces nearby or is the home located in the middle of commercial district?
