Such confusion in this market and so many uneducated people!

[NotCranky]

Enough Realtors know how to sell houses in this market.The ones that don’t would learn quickly if the owners of the for sale inventory would let the the ones that do get things started.
Ultimately the house belongs to the owner and they can do what ever they want. Currently most sellers think that it will get better, so they want to wait if they can. Some agents are willing to take listings for these people. probably to appear prominent in the business and always willing to help, especially if they are the type that have a “farm”. Some are taking listings hoping the seller will change opinion and get motivated while under contract. A small minority are actually clueless as to why overpriced homes won’t sell.

I agree with Rustico, which is why my examples were based on seller mentality and not of their agents.

I note that I have previously posted examples where it was the selling agent that was off base.

Recall my example of the selling agent who added $200k to the asking price to cover built in electronics, but only after I indicated interest in the house, only to see me walk. Later he sold the house for $300k less than asking.

Recall those examples of selling agents who discouraged me from writing offers.

And I also encountered some agents in Santaluz that must think this is a huge seller’s market with all the mutilple offers they are getting. Funny, that was months ago and those houses are still for sale.

But, by and large, it is the sellers who are the problem. Since I may be a seller soon, I hope to be part of the problem. 🙂

Ah, heck, I will just rent it out.

I agree with the above. It is predominantly seller not REALTOR driving. Yes there is a % of Realtors out there who really don’t know what they are doing, but at the end of the day the boat is driven by the seller.

Case in point is a house listed forsale down the street from me. It’s the typical case of best house in an OK neighborhood. The seller is asking $900-$mil in a sea of $500k to $600k homes. The house has been on the market for months and hasn’t moved. They have been through FOUR BROKERS. Sorry it’s not the fault of the broker that the house isn’t moving. It’s the seller not listing at a reasonable price.
