Coastal Florida Real Estate

I posted a long diatribe on using correct pricing and the sad tale of a man who still thinks his house is worth what he paid for it at the top of the market.

I bet a quarter that he would list the house at a price that supports his theory that it is special even though there is not one shread of evidence to support this.  I'm glad they don't have a mortgage to support.

Another agent listed the house at 90% of what the owner paid for it 3 1/2 years ago, let me rephrase that, at the absolute top of the market.  This real estate market would clear up fast if agents would stop doing this kind of pricing.  Does this sound quixotic?

So, it seems they believe the market has declined only 3% per year since the boom stopped.  I wonder when they stopped reading the news?

HOPE IS NOT A SUCCESSFUL SELLING STRATEGY.

So, somebody out there owes me a quarter.
