That was rather hateful. The only reason I responded to the comment about the PQ listing is because it was a very negative comment and an accusation I didn’t deserve. I am not at all sure how you think I push real estate down everyone’s throat by simply making a comment on a colleague’s blog, but I am sorry that is somehow the perception I have left you with. Have a great weekend.

Go back to bloodhound blog and talk real estate to all the other people selling real estate while you talk about selling real estate. The reason there are buyers commenting here is because people like yourself aren’t trying to push RE down everyone’s throat.

Wrong again.

Cute AND cocky. I like that in a Realtor.

I have a particular disdain for realtors, however in this case I find Jim to be overly refreshing and thus read his blog regularly. With that said, I have zero, repeat, zero interest in hearing what another realtor has to say on the internet or radio. Is that closed minded? Perhaps, but I trust Jim, his opinion and thats all that matters. Other realtors in my perception are irrelevant.

1. We all know that most houses in the current market receive multiple offers. But what exactly were those offers? I bet a couple were for 100k less than the asking price. Just more smoke an mirrors that realtors use to justify a stupid price.

2. Unfortunately for buyers there’s still people willing to pay ridiculous prices for a house. But those people are getting harder and harder to come across. Eventually the tide will turn. (more than it already has) I’ll bet nobody that’s been waiting to buy since 2006 is regretting their decision now.

The home you reference went into escrow yesterday with multiple offers. You should have seen it – It was beautiful! Thanks for your concern, though.

A property the Berg’s are currently listing is 17% over 2007 prices and since this house is in RP and it has seen a fortunate rise in prices it is now only 11% higher than the selling market. In case you thought this was a plum it’s a 1970 sqft house on a spacious 5k lot and it is 23 years old.

In any event, this should be fun – Either fun enough to make it a weekly or fun as in "things I should try once before I am dead."
