I'm certain this happens. But! Do you believe the buyers of these homes are going to have the same result if A NEED to sell arises? Paying too much can lead to danger later on. We are seeing this across the board. Those who paid TOO MUCH are experiencing a loss.
This shocked us, at first. But, we see this is happening often. My daughter is taking her time to learn the market. She doesn't want to buy in a needless rush only to regret it. There are thousands of homes available in the Villages. She is willing to take her time. It is very unlikely an agent is going to convince her to buy a home $200,000 above current market pricing. I believe MOST BUYERS would also walk away.
