Here we go again.
Just as I’m ready to hit the go button on a new listing, I check the realtor hotsheet and THREE other listings provide new market data. Look at how these two dumped on price:
Do sellers wonder if there were any other buyers before dumping 10% and 11% off their price? Beats me, but if they did, lowering the list price in 5% increments promptly would have caused others to surface earlier. Once a listing has been not selling for a couple of months, they are going to get lowballed.
There is an active listing that has been listed at $1,750,000 for the last six weeks on the same street as my new listing. Even though they listed for $2,150,000 on June 24th, they dropped another $100,000 today and are now $1,650,000. It is located close to Carmel Valley Road:
If we would have listed for the $1,675,000 like we planned to do , it would have only caused a standoff. In a market where prices have dropped so precipitously, we want to be the clear front-runner.
We changed our list price to $1,599,000, and will go head-to-head this weekend!
Your listing is very attractively priced for Pacific Highlands Ranch (always amazed at how popular PHR is!)

Wow, if that’s what you’re looking for it seems to have everything you’d want.
Nice house.
