If I had all the money in the world I don’t think I’d get a house worth more than 500k. Houses that large would stress me out even if you had people maintaining it 24/7. You could lose a kid in there it’s too big 

You would have to spend more if you want privacy. For 500k these days you are getting a cookie cutter house in a development with nosy neighbors on either side of you jealous about how you have all the money in the world and they don't!

The housing market is a bit nuts right now. A year ago we put in an offer on a 279k house for 330k (which I thought was high) and its sold for 415k

 

It was not worth that, even admitted by their real estate agent when he talked to ours

Have had this same thing happen a few times over the last 5 years.

Sure, the client can say that they want $X for their property, but I don't know of many good realtors who will agree to list a property for a price far above its market value.  A good realtor "counsels the client to reality" and manages expectations up front, not after the original listing price is slashed.  The realtor spends their time and money listing & showing the property.

 

If you own a luxury property and are looking to sell, are you going to list with an agent who recently sold a luxury property at a  reduced price?

 

I'm willing to bet all 1.95 million the owner did not start at that price.  More likely Miller wanted 2 million and was told that was a psychological barrier for buyers who would be looking to invest that much for a tract home in Buffalo NY.  

 

A reduced price??  EVERY home in that area will sell for below asking.  There is a very small number of buyers who would be shopping there in the 1.5+ mil range.  There aren't any bidding wars in that neighborhood.  Ask Beane.

 

It always amazes me that NFL players would dump so much money into what is almost always temporary housing--in an area like this.  Far better off renting a nice place nearer the city center and just walk out when you get cut/traded.

We sold my dad's house in North Tonawanda a couple months ago and got 15% over asking price, no inspection, and buyer cleans out garage and basement.  It is a nice house in a great neighborhood but i was mildly shocked.  Von might well get his price

 

Buffalo is a very hot market---in the 250-500k range.  This place isn't comparable to any of that.

I don't like the  tub or bathroom faucets. :huh:

 

Not to mention, your broken ashtray has to be better than anything I saw in those photos. 

 

It’s lacking, I’m just sayin’

no the realtors understand their markets.  they often sign with clients who do not.

This realtor has a bunch of properties listed by the stadium that aren't moving.  She aims high.  

 

I'm skeptical the house sells at that price, but it's no skin off my nose either way.  I hope there are happy buyers and sellers once that house closes.

On “normal” houses you traditionally get 94-96% of the asking price on a properly priced house. With more expensive properties it’s not unusual to see sales at 20-30% discounts from asking. 

This goes back to what I said earlier. Not enough inventory will drive up the price, no matter what that price is. There are people here, maybe even a corporation that will buy this house at or over asking for housing when a C Level Executive visits Buffalo.
