Do you see overpriced listings where you live?

It can be summed up in one sentence. They overpaid for their house and now they want the next buyer to pay for that mistake.

My biggest regret is not buying a house when I was 8.

Public comments sections should exist on all real estate websites.

We were a family of 6, four girls, two parents, a dog and 3 cats. It was normal to share bedrooms. Two eldest in front, two younger in the middle bedroom and our parents in the third bedroom. One washroom. This was normal and we got along fine most of the time. My parents survived on dad's job. Never went hungry, had wonderful Christmas and didn't go without. We camped every year and to my uncles cottage every year. We turned out to be very close sisters and that closest to this day. Family is what matters, wasn't easy for my beloved parents to provide but we got through everything throughout the years. I thank my mom for that and for dad playing with us. It wasn't easy but the tight knit family has always been a blessing. 🙂

"priced to sell" means "I only want to sell it at my specific price"

It’s either the price or the HOA. You couldn’t pay me to take a house in an HOA.

We need to get rid of HOA’s

We backed out of a house one time when the appraisal came in almost $75K less than they wanted. When we asked for a reduction, they didn't even want to give us $5K due to the fact they spent over $60K on upgrades. I didn't want to pay for their choices, so we took our deposit back. That house sat over a year before being sold for over $100K less than we offered a year previously. Hard lesson for them to learn.

Greed is destroying this country, on all levels

$600k for a 1 bathroom house is a good reason some houses don't sell.

“HOA’s increase the value of your house.” No they don’t. I wouldn’t buy a house with an HOA, and a lot of other won’t either.

51:44 As a roofer, depending on where you live the insurance period on a shingle roof is 15 years. Now if you have a metal roof it’s more like 25. So if the house was built In 2005, you would be right on time for a new roof. Which can run anywhere from $10k to 60K depending on the size of the roof and what material used. So I think they made the right decision asking you to install a new roof

Bc ppl don't wanna pay 7times what we would have just 3 years ago.

I'd bet a lot of these quick sales, 3 years or so, were Airbnb or rental dreams that failed.

I'm not "garbage" if I back out of a sale; your house is.

Back in the ‘90s most people said unless you plan to live somewhere 6-8 years, rent don’t buy.

Bought my 2 bed/1 bath 1940s house in 1993 for $59K. Friends laughed at the time saying it wasn't worth it as it was too old and that I should start flipping for bigger, newer houses for a better investment, but I ignored them. Made double payments and had it paid off in 10 years then put that monthly payment amount in a retirement account. Over the years I remodeled and replaced most everything and kept it up to date. Now retired and living in the same house, not rich, but very comfortable and some of those friends that scoffed at me 30 some years ago, are now unable to retire as they kept flipping for bigger more expensive houses and now cannot sell for what they want as they think it is part of their retirement funding. You should look at houses as a place to live and not as an investment to get rich.

I had been a realtor for ten years and I did a market analysis for a listing. The seller wanted to list the house well over the market value. The seller was extremely obnoxious and demanding. So, to his disbelief I explained that I didn't want the listing. He asked why and I said, "If you are this difficult to work with before I even took the listing, I didn't want to waste my time." The house was listed with eight agents over two years before it finally sold...20% less than what the market price suggested.

People were buying here sight unseen at the height of it and now everyone here thinks they have a home worth 7 figures 😵‍💫
