Owners want as much as they can get, not everyone understands this, but when you become a vendor your perspective and understanding switches to the polar opposite of a buyer with regards to strategy and price. Another point worth noting, from my own experiences at least 75% of people think their own home is worth more than even an agent thinks.

It took a few years before reality sunk in, but as we all know, inability to repossess meant a true bottom was never reached. I think consensus is that the bottom was somewhere around early 2012? I know from ppr that prices where I am were the same in 2010 as 2014. 2012 ppr for similar estates in locale were the lowest I saw, but not sure if I'm comparing like with like as properties were a little different.

I haven't seen this many come back ion the market before (been watching for 3 years). All the ones that I've seen come back on the market are the properties that need a lot of work. So I was guessing it's because of the banks? I remember an article that said the building work was ending up too expensive too.
