I dont see the delusional sellers as the issue but rather that you are looking for something really special that rarely comes on the market. Properties like that are always contested. Thus they almost always sell at a premium to the current market. One very important thing you probably have not considered is that there is that alot of the demand for those places comes from long time successful residents who arent actively looking to move UNLESS somethng special comes along. I have a half dozen past clients who are very happy and have no plans on moving unless their dream home came available and then they would in a NY minute. And they have plenty of cash to do so.[/quote]
I totally agree with this. I know a few who fall into this category.
