Does 404 Not Found effect your SEO Rankings [duplicate]

SEO (or other) problems with a 404? 3 answers
I have a question about 404 errors and SEO; I am looking to create the right solution to avoid the errors that Google Webmaster Tools is giving me.
My web site has real estate listings and the homes come and go. When I no longer have a home for sale I have the following PHP code set up.
header ('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
header ('Status: 404 Not Found');
include 'error404.php';
exit;
This is a custom 404 page letting my visitors know that the listing no longer exists with search engine for find another listing.
Google says I have hundreds of missing pages when my site gets crawled; all these errors are listings that I not longer have. Does this effect my SEO? Should I be doing something different or am I OK in what I have?
