I agree with you SDR, a prime example of listing unrealistically is 7449 Park Village road in PQ. What is this owner thinking? $925,000 for 2,276 sq.ft., 5,000 sf lot, nothing special. A house just 4 addresses down the street on the same side of Park Village sold for only $625,000 recently. Yes, it was smaller, but only by a few hundred square feet and one bedroom. Since when was one bedroom worth $300,000? This is one listing that is in the dreaming catagory.
My post was simply an observation that Realtors are in business to list and sell properties, not to talk an owner out of listing. Yes, they need to give their informed opinions of what price can be acheived, but if the owner doesn’t take that advice, should you not take the listing? Kind of reminds me of the old caveat “the customer is always right”. To blatently tell people in her profession not do business is a laugh to me.
