Are sellers really that delusional? It’s always the price!

I am so sincerely confused at how sellers can look at their wildly overpriced house and ask why it’s not selling.

“But the agent said to list it at this price”… real estate agents aren’t exactly rocket scientists. Is there something psychological that goes on when somebody tries to sell a house? Something where these people ignore all available data?

How long did it take you to get an offer accepted and how large was your search area?

How long did it take you to get an offer accepted on a home and how large was your search area? We’re going on a month (which I know is next to nothing) with 3 tours, 1 offer and 1 rejection. We are looking in a very small area of about 1.5 square miles.

How do negotiation conversations actually go?

What kind of conversations will my agent be having with the listing agent after we put in an offer? Does the listing agent explicitly tell him what the other offers are or is it vague? Do they say how many other offers are on the table? Do they give an exact dollar amount that needs to be beat? What is revealed and what isn’t?

Recent sellers who didn’t take the highest offer: why?

First time homebuyer here trying to understand what sellers are looking for. I do not have unlimited money of course so I understand another bid may come in higher than mine.

Do right wingers seriously think The Odyssey was “woke”?

I’m being so sincere with my question. I could not detect a single line or character I would categorize as “unnecessarily woke” from the movie. Despite this, it appears people on the right are taking issue with the film. Can anybody explain?

How do houses on major roads ever sell around here?

I was driving on North Ocean Avenue today through Farmingville, which has 4 lanes of fast moving traffic. There’s plenty of houses on that street and I’m just wondering WHO is buying these houses?? Why would anyone buy a home on a major roadway like that when there’s likely one reasonably nearby that isn’t?

Anyone else frustrated that there’s really no career progression after getting licensed?

I’ve been a licensed director for a couple years now and I definitely would like to be ONLY a funeral director for a few more years to polish my work, but what’s next? There’s little to no progression in this field. I currently work for a family owned funeral home of only 4 funeral directors so there doesn’t seem to be anywhere for me to go as far as up. What did you do to progress your career? Would going corporate be my only way?

Did your agent call homes on your personal wish list for you? Was that successful?

I showed by agent a list of houses I’ve compiled over months that, if one came to market, I’d jump on immediately. My agent is having her assistant call each home to see if the owner is thinking of selling. Has your agent done this for you? What kind of success did you have?

Are you genuinely angry at certain books being displayed at libraries for pride month? Why?

I went into my town’s public library today and saw a book display for pride month accompanied by a pride flag. One of the books was called “Gay Mormon Dad”. There were a bunch of other books. Did I think the title “Gay Mormon Dad” was a bit odd, yea sure. But I just giggled for a second and moved on. I’m sure a display like that would genuinely upset some people. I’m just wondering.. why? Another detail I’d like to add is no, the display was not in the designated children’s section of the library.
