My opinion (and its my opinion) is TV realty (not the realtors, but the leadership); pushes toward new construction vs resale.
Correct, that is only your opinion and many times the owner is firm on setting their price too high instead of listening to the listing agent. We live on a small street having only 8 homes, all stucco designers south of 44. Of these eight homes 5 have been sold, all listed with TV agents. 2 homes sold the first day, 1 home sold the first week, and 2 homes sold the fist month. That is a pretty good record.
