I'm happy I did not get the listing................I'm actually proud of myself. This morning I woke up and looked at the new listings in the mls and saw a new house for sale on the same street that reinforced what I told the couple. If you don't have to sell now don't do it. They saw the logic of the facts and now are going to find a way to build an addition for the new 2nd baby that is on the way. They saw the house I saw in the MLS, it was only a couple houses down from their house and about 5 other houses for sale by owner and for sale by broker on their street for 30,000 less than they wanted to list for. What a relief they got it! I have finally got it too. I will never feel pressured into taking a listing that is too high again. 6 months ago I took one in the same vicinity when my CMA stated the house was worth in the 170's but the owner just had to have it in the 190's because of his debt not the value of the house. Thinking maybe this and maybe that, like maybe someone will come in and just offer him 10 or 15 thousand less. Another agent listed it today for what I wanted to list it for 6 months ago. Six months is alot of time in this market. I have told the seller in a number of ways you better stick it out till the housing market gets better. It will be interesting to see if he gets his present price. Thank goodness it is not me, hoping and wishing in the wind.
