Perry you have to many useful insights… whenever you are ready to earn some money on the side call me up! hehehehhe…you are oh so correct about the emotional factors involved in a purchase or a sale.
SDAppraiser thanks for pointing out that the previous post. I remember putting it up there a few weeks ago. I agree with you that the there are strategic reasons behind the price range.
I put my posting up previously to try to root out the source of the value price range. At the time I thought it was prudential and by the postings in this post I think that may be true.
I think the key that we all seem to agree on is if you price your house correctly it will sell. If a value price range is going to be used I really do not understand a price range that is more then a few percent of the total. For instance a 675k-750k price range seems to be an excessive spread.
