If I had a $1 for every time I've heard sellers say "I'm not giving it (their property) away", I could take some serious time off! I imagine telling themselves & others that makes sellers feel in control of the price, when it's the market that dictates the final price.
Anyway, I recently was speaking with one of my sellers, who is under contract. While I realize that, initially, she was disappointed with the offer, I thought she had come around to accept that the price she got is the new reality. However, during our conversation, she again said that she "felt like I'm giving it away". I told her that she's selling at market; I added that one of her neighbors, when told of the price, commented that my seller had done very well, pricewise.
It should be noted that my seller nearly tripled her money with this sale and lived in the home nearly 11 years! I guess you can't please everyone.
