Relocate to Wisconsin : Sorry Mr. Seller..This Time it's Not About YOU....

Sorry Mr. Seller..This Time it's Not About YOU....

  Lots of people have trouble thinking about putting anyone or anything before themselves.  It is about what they want, think the need, "have to do", cannot do....FIRST...MOST and ALMOST ALWAYS....

All about ME

 
  Despite the buzz from every possible media source, e-mail, snail mail...radar screens everywhere telling us that the buyers are king and it IS the very best time to buy....we learned you can still go on a listing appointment....and learn that some sellers think it is all about them...because their condo, house, lot IS better than the neiighbors...

    They want to believe sooo much that the investment they made a few years ago in that real estate they have  been calling home is worth not only what they paid...but gee whiz, golly sakes...they added pottery barn colors and a new garbage disposal and changed the light fixtures....and oh those perennials they planted...all those things need to be added up and appreciated...and NOW they will choose the time they should list....hmmmm let's say "spring"...it's when the market in Wisconsin gets still MORE crowded with the "I can only sell in the spring.." philosophy being alive and well.(Good thinking...the inventory, Mr. Seller is likely to  be higher and then your pottery paint will DEPRECIATE as you struggle to be noticed along with the dozens of others on the market.)

Bus   As the very old song goes(Not sooo old..I remember the words !)..."Make a New Plan Stan....Get on the Bus, Russ" 

Enjoy the fact that you can make the best BUY ever,....outstanding interest rates, wonderful selection in the best possible condition, and the lowest prices we have seen in decades.....THAT's the trip you can take to be a "REAL Real Estate Winner."

Is it "get on the bus, Russ" or "Get on the bus, Gus"? 

I have a few of those spring sellers as well, frustrating!  Greg

More appropriate for real estate would have been "drop off the key, Lee" :). Good rant. Thanks for the post!

This market sure is getting harder to sell in.  Sellers cannot seem to comprehend no matter what proof we have in hand.  I have a listing right now that I want to cancel due to this.

Boy, one day it's short people, the next narcissists.  You just can't let anyone off the hook can you?  Pick, pick, pick.  Kidding...  So, when's spring up there?  July or so?
