084 - Underpricing in Real Estate (has it gone too far?)

SOLD OVER ASKING!

We all know that anyone can sell a home over asking when it's priced $200,000 below what it's WORTH. So what's the point in advertising it?

This week, Daniel and Katie chat about the dangers associated with severely underpricing a home.  Not only does it cause confusion for consumers, it brings an unnecessary amount of unqualified showings through a seller's home and cheapens our industry as a whole.   They also chat about what we can do to start changing this practice - both in the short and long term.

 

What are your thoughts?  We'd love for you to join the conversation!
