I’m in OC not SD. I’d have to go back and do some in depth checking. My initial reaction last week was literally, ‘oh, it’s still for sale’ when I pulled up my prior search…

We looked at so many homes… most have sold. Many were shorts, many were flips (REOshark flips), many I think went back to the bank, a handful still listed.

I’m looking at a home on Redfin that says listed 82 days. I know it’s been on the market for over a year. They apparently reduced the price 82 days ago because that price is below yours and it was definitely above ours.

There is another home we looked at 9 months before we bought, it had been out of escrow once before we looked at it (buyer couldn’t close). Needed work and seller knew it so willing to take offers lower but… Since been in escrow once, looking for something close. A year later, sold for 5% more than I was told was ‘too’ low to take forward by the selling agent but still 20% below what he was asking. I doubt the buyer was naive or weak. The original one that fell out was likely another story.

[quote=bearishgurl] Those offers you made were not accepted in favor of buyers who were offering more but not as strong of a buyer as you, so fell out of escrow? [/quote]

Typo my part, escrow, not equity.

I meant the homes we looked at with prices we thought were insane (due to deferred maintenance), went into escrow. Then fell out of escrow. Some properties I’ve seen have been in and out of escrow multiple times. Price is still the same, still for sale. It’s an assumption on my part that the buyer is either weaker or more naive in not seeing the deferred maintenance up front or not being able to close the deal or just flaky and backing out.

part of it comes from the anecdotal conversations with the listing agents, my prior agent and others about the lack of quality of offers. Many times we’ve been told that they ‘got’ their price but the buyer isn’t very ‘strong’ so they’re taking back-ups and the house is marked in escrow.
