What I see playing out. I believe that with realators under pressure to get listings and create activity (not necessarily productivity)sellers are still pushing them to lsit high or they will walk.
What eventually happens is that the listings will expire. Newer agents who felt pressure to list will begin to exit the industry and the more seaasoned agents who know what they can sell a house for will elect to walk away because it is not worth their time to list a unit that they know will not sell.
The seller will have to face the fact that the home has a lower value and will be back in the offices of the more experienced agents at some point who will continue to reccommend prices where they feel they can move the product.
Pendulum will ultimately swing back to those most capable in the area of sales.

March 5, 2008 at 9:46 AM #164600takilmaParticipantI believe the banks are setting some of the unrealistic prices, too. This is a bit off topic for this thread, but…..
I have been trying to purchase a TH as a short sale. The bank’s loss mitigation specialist assigned to this stated this morning that a price previously agreed upon, which my realtor and I do not feel the market currently supports, (offer made in December), was a loss to them of 33K versus what they would get for it as an REO. HUH??? I made the only offer, for a place on the market for 5 months, and they’re turning it down. Two other units in the complex, that are REOs have fallen out of escrow, and they were priced much better. Other units, some REOs and short sales, some not, can’t even get offers. DOM averages well over 90. This is a middle class complex in Escondido, with current prices all well under 300K.
SD Realtor, what do you think is going on with this bank?
Thanks.

March 5, 2008 at 9:55 AM #164620jpinpbParticipantalarmclock – I think it is a great idea. Send it to the owner, realtor and bank REOs. Of course get a PO Box. I like it. Realtors generally want listings and don’t really want to give bad news to the homeowners. The homeowners need a good dose of reality supported by facts. The honest realtors try to tell it like it is and lose the listing. Maybe attach some good news stories while you’re at it, just in case they have been living under a rock and aren’t following what’s going on. Need an assistant, let me know. Maybe grab the homeowners by both arms, shake them a couple of times, a good slap in the face and tell them to get real. That might work, too π
