It’s a good thing that no one ever loses money in real estate. It’s a sure bet.
I feel bad for the family tho
Why do you feel bad for the family? Would you feel bad for them if they were selling a used car for less than the original price?
Ha, using price changes to create a faux Dutch Auction.
Nothing really faux about it. It’s a dutch auction, straight up. I sold an older Buick like this last year — think reliable transport, not classic car. I started quite high, as there’s no sense running a Dutch auction starting at the price you think you’ll get.
I got several lowball offers, one or two of which ended up being above what it eventually sold for. Now a vague offer via email isn’t exactly bankable, but it made me wonder if I could have in fact maximized the price by asking far more than it was worth, then selling it to some lowball artist at 30% off.
The key is that potential bidders must be worried about other potential bidders beating them to it. Doesn’t work too well in a slow market.
Dutch Auction? More like Death of a Thousand Cuts…
“Look honey, that house we were looking at is reduced $1,000. We can afford it now!”
“No, honey, let’s wait, I have a feeling it will be even cheaper tomorrow.”
I saw a house on my street do that last year, they reduced it by a couple grand every couple of weeks.
A Dutch Auction does require more than one bidder.
Half a million dollars for a place in Mission?? What on earth were they thinking when they lept in?
still overpriced by 200k!
Overpriced by 280k…. Depths of Mission. Cheap crappy fixutures, oriented strand board special. $169,900
Take it down 1 thousand a week for the next five years. then they’ll clue in that it isnt that different in a remote hillbilly location hours from civilization. And youre still living on the outskirts of a provincial town, in the middle of a rainforest, in the middle of nowhere with no head offices.

It’s pronounced “World Class City” luv.
You’re welcome
world class?..LMFAO… perhaps compared to Reguna…LOL
delusion in aisle 5
What a waste of time – it’s taken the owners the entire summer to reduce the price by 4%! Really unbelievable!
could be a tactic to put them into the “new and updated listings” emails etc.
