I think the, “small penis,” comment was what he meant by harsh. I’ll admit it was. Thats because to me that house, whether in Carslbad or Amarillo represents the same thing. Wanton ruthless conspicuous consumption. The Mormon tabernacle choir doesn’t need that much house. Its all about look how much I can consume, Hence the penis size reference. I stand by it, it was meant to be harsh.
On top of which you came to a board which is founded on the premise of a real estate bubble. To your credit you aren’t denying it, just trying to ride the wave, however….
People on this board aren’t equity locusts. Most if not all of us are trying to figure out how to stay here, not leave. So your thinking in terms of marketing isn’t fundamentally sound.
I will give you credit for sticking around and attempting to answer some of the jibes with facts, but the facts we are interested in are the ones you either cannot or will not answer.
On top of which even attempting to compare SoCal with the Texas panhandle is a flight of fancy at best. You may not be willing to trade and have said as much, but the VAST majority of humanity is, so in an absolute sense this is a much better place.
Its really a shame you have a vested interest in selling that house, Otherwise you MIGHT be able to take step back and realize what a vile monstrosity it is. A town with a median household income around 40k has no business building McMansions like that, especially what its main attraction is that it is in an area that is less grossly overvalued then where you are selling.
Keep up the optimism! Its sound business advice, but I wouldn’t recommend pecker checking potential buyers. They probably won’t like it.
