I think you'll find there's a lot of bugshit ask prices out there and not a lot of sales. I've seen more than a few "are you fucking kidding me" prices over the transom lately, no doubt.

Eastside fukkers seem to do a lot of "wait it didn't sell in three weeks? Pull the listing down juggle the images and relist it a week later at $10,000 off" bullshit. There's a lot of hustling going on over there; I was following this one house whose garage/MIL was about to be eaten by a river, so this fly-by-night outfit put a contingency on it, remodeled the main house, put in a bunch of sandbags and covered them with landscaping, let buyers know that the whole property wasn't going to be for sale since they had already parceled off the land into four other properties, and ran open houses every weekend hoping no one would notice that the vaunted mother-in-law dwelling was one hard rain from sailing to Factoria.

It still hasn't sold and they've been trying for six months.
