We get an email every day from a friend who is a realtor. She’s got some automated system set up where any time a listing that is in our area/price range changes (new listings, price changes, solds, expireds, cancelleds, etc.), it’s included in the email. (We’re not thinking of buying any time soon, but my wife is quite happy looking at all the reductions out there.)
Anyway, I’m sure lots of realtors have emails like this set up. And this flipper’s house would show up in the email every time he changes the price. Maybe that’s another reason he does it.
