I hope no one is so naïve to think that could never happen but perhaps their brains can't think that through.
Just expounding on your Red Riding Hood fun. We are on Fifth house in TV. More than 15 years we have looked at over 200 preowned, with 7 different MLS agencies, and 8 different VLS. There will rarely be the house that ticks every box as a Spec or preowned.

Even build new getting a view lot difficult the agent has zero power to change what lot you win. You may get close to perfect, but there will always be a little something that doesn’t work out. In all the years and hundreds of people, I have never met someone who’s agent convinced them to_______, and didn’t realize until it was too late.
Or maybe their brains still don’t register as you pointed out, they are still naïve of end results.

Then again you must remember the free for all of 2007 “No more houses will be built” comes close to the hundreds who bought whatever house was available, before they were left without. Then the downfall around 2008.

Our VLS agent had no idea if the rumors were true. We didn’t buy into the developer frenzy. Saved us $31,000 for the exact same house 2 years later.
