MOre nonsense and false assumptions abound which is what I expect from you. Your wrong and your not getting any more details.
As for me, what I beleive should be is very different than the system. I just operate in the system and do the best I can. You really know nothing about what makes me tick. I have walked away from transactions that could have paid me more than you likely make in a year because I didnt feel comfortable with them.
The short sales arent pulling your value down. Its clear you feel victimized by them but the market is now speaking across all sales and normalizing values albeit in an inefficient haphazard way but over time we are getting where we should and need to be.
