The way this is written, the realtor is a used car salesperson, willing to say anything to get the sale – but how can she be blamed? She is trying to get as much money as possible out of the sale as instructed by her client – heck, she also gets a take of the final figure – so the more $$$ the better. The moment she agrees the market has not doubled in 5 years is the moment she justifies a price reduction, so no way is she going to admit that – I would be surprised if she did.
This is why I’m reluctant to deal with most realtors. Even if I become well versed in home buying to avoid being taken, an equally well or most likely better versed buying or selling agent will be getting a share of my money whether their information is true or not, withheld or exposed.
