I wish I could just make shit up and get paid for it like this.
This is definitely not true in my area. Houses still get 5-6 offers immediately upon listing. The only ones that stick around long enough to even look at have major issues or should just be torn down.
And the prices are still sky high.
I am looking in a area where prices are listed easily $50-100k above what they really sell for and even then they probably are not quite worth that. The market is starting to get bloated with inventory and few buyers due to crazy expectations for sellers and the crap interest rates.
I nearly bought something this year already (still looking) but backed out for various reasons. Even then, the offer was $100k below what the asking price was.
