When y’all reduce a price a home from $548k to $546k you are just bumping it in the listing notifications. Clogging up my feed. We see it for what it is.

It’s not a real reduction at less than 0.4%. The market is telling you it’s too high, simple. Did you calculate that? Taxes are already at 2%

Put your big girl panties on and have a real honest conversation with the seller that 8-9% is a real price reduction. That’s actually your duty to them. No one liked it after the open house, it’s sitting.

Actually, I came to the open house in the last 10 min. I was the first one to sign in. First hand account. I liked it, just not at that price. I would have to put about $80k of greedy fairy equity money the sellers feel they deserve back into the house. $3k slapped down countertops does not equate to $50k of equity.

Y’all - just stop. Either price it to sell in 2026 and be real with the sellers or take it off and stop screwing with the data.📉

EDIT - in my writing it was a typo in my numbers at $500k and $480k it’s 548 - it’s less than 4%. I’ve been doing math all morning and yea. I can do math better than I can type.

Obviously, I'm the buyer in this transaction.

Apparently standing court orders are optional now for sellers and debtors. Don't agree with the court-ordered sale of your house? Easy fix...all you have to do is file for bankruptcy the night before closing.

Haven't paid the mortgage in 10 months? Divorce case saved your vacant home from going into foreclosure?? The divorce court ordered the house sold and the proceeds to be split? Doesn't matter. One trip to the bankruptcy courthouse, and you get to move into living there for free!! And just file extension after extension....lol!!

I'm really annoyed because this house was on the MLS and I saw it with my realtor...and there is just no recourse it seems unless I have to spend more money for someone who doesn't want to move----even though the court order said that the seller couldn't live there!!

With 200 cases on the docket, judges seem to allow anyone to game the system rather than actually enforcing orders. Personally, I would be scared not to follow a court order, but that's me. I think we will start to see much more of this, maybe.

I've seen 3 threads this morning of buyers who are in contract and sellers just "changed their mind." Attorneys want at least $5k to go after this - which I need to save the money to buy the house!

Bonus points: record your deed again post-petition to muddy the title while you're at it, let's say days after the scheduled closing that was cancelled.

Anyways...has anyone else been on the receiving end of one of these "strategic" filings? I'm a little spicy today because the courts, with 200 cases on the docket for a day, are now allowing folks to game the system rather than actually enforcing orders. I think we will start to see much more of this, maybe...?
