Anticipated 9,000+ off new home value--got no discount from appraiser. Value was what I paid. Seemed TV would know the value of the home before setting a price. Same technique as retail sales--up the price to show a discount to get a buyer.

Price didn't make the sale--location, type of house and lot made the decision for us to buy! Either way--happy I am in my new home

It worked. Marketing techniques are used in the sale of everything....and if we buy it...well enough said.
