    Interesting. The past few listing appts have been with people who purchased in the past 2 years. All of them are pretty much acknowledging the market but refuse to price accordingly. They all are still believing that someone will fall in love with their homes and pay for them. One of them, a very nice couple in Del Cerro was not happy with my honesty. Here is a snippet of the email they sent back to me per my request for feedback…

    “….I mean, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to sell for what we want anyway and their aren’t many qualified buyers to go round, so…. We
    may as well take our chances that there’s someone out there that will fall in love with our place, be well qualified, and have money. It’s a stretch, but could happen. More than likely, we’ll end up
    landlords for a while. Could be worse.

    As for your feedback. Our only comment is, although we appreciate your frank and honest point of view, the pessimistic view was a little tough to swallow. Even for us…”

    I think you just saved yourself several month of unpaid work and a ton of frustration.

    I know several people who’re (re)listing their homes now with high hopes for coming housing season. Also it seems a fresh batch of knife catchers is shaping in San Diego.

    I think until people are feeling the pinch more, this sort of unrealistic seller is going to persist. I think several people are still in or think they are in the *wanting* to sell category, as opposed to *needing* to sell. It's going to take more economic pain before people realize they *need* to sell versus *wanting* to sell. Not that I'm looking forward to economic pain, because me thinks everyone is going to be in pain, some more than others.

    Don't know if you read about my comment regarding the Heights Auction in Carmel Valley that happened…But it seems like some people still haven't "gotten it" yet….400-500 people to be specific

    And yes, fishtank person is still listing at $510k…..Oh when will the insanity stop….
