Just about nothing on today’s open house tour so I’ll be saving gas. Some mid-country retreads and that’s about it. There’s a tired old listing in Riverside that amuses me each time I see it on the roster. Priced just below $2 million, its owners and agent have angrily rejected offers (not mine) in the $1.6s. My personal opinion is that anything above $1.450 is probably too high but if this house can’t sell in Riverside despite the past months of fevered market activity then it’s not just my opinion that’s evaluating it, it’s buyers’, and they say the price is too high. I understand the owners’ disappointment, but their agent does them no favor in joining in their fury. A delusional agent is even worse than a homeowner because she’s supposed to be the one bringing a little rationality to the process.
In any event, there’s no need for me to see it again. It’s a price cut that will sell this place, not an offer of free sandwiches.
