The past few listing appts

[SD Realtor]

Interesting. The past few listing appts have been with people who purchased in the past 2 years. All of them are pretty much acknowledging the market but refuse to price accordingly. They all are still believing that someone will fall in love with their homes and pay for them. One of them, a very nice couple in Del Cerro was not happy with my honesty. Here is a snippet of the email they sent back to me per my request for feedback…

“….I mean, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to sell for what we want anyway and their aren’t many qualified buyers to go round, so…. We
may as well take our chances that there’s someone out there that will fall in love with our place, be well qualified, and have money. It’s a stretch, but could happen. More than likely, we’ll end up
landlords for a while. Could be worse.

As for your feedback. Our only comment is, although we appreciate your frank and honest point of view, the pessimistic view was a little tough to swallow. Even for us…”

I think you just saved yourself several month of unpaid work and a ton of frustration.

I know several people who’re (re)listing their homes now with high hopes for coming housing season. Also it seems a fresh batch of knife catchers is shaping in San Diego.

I think until people are feeling the pinch more, this sort of unrealistic seller is going to persist. I think several people are still in or think they are in the *wanting* to sell category, as opposed to *needing* to sell. It's going to take more economic pain before people realize they *need* to sell versus *wanting* to sell. Not that I'm looking forward to economic pain, because me thinks everyone is going to be in pain, some more than others.

Don't know if you read about my comment regarding the Heights Auction in Carmel Valley that happened…But it seems like some people still haven't "gotten it" yet….400-500 people to be specific

And yes, fishtank person is still listing at $510k…..Oh when will the insanity stop….

These people are in denial and with that kind of feedback I’d tell them, “you’re on your own”.

Thus, this is the reason why I think it will take quite awhile to reach the bottom in certain areas.

Well done SD, tell ’em like it is. My mother has been a Reator in PA for 25 years, and she never takes listings in a down market when the sellers are unreasonable. I spoke with her about it last week, and she has refused several listings in the past couple of weeks due to sellers not willing to price accordingly.

The funny thing is, when she looks at all the past down markets it’s amzing how many of those unreasonable sellers eventually come back to the Realtor that told them the truth in the first place, and she gets the re-list.
