There not going to sell it with a for sale ad like that, spend the $15k, cut your loss, and have a professional sell it.

Does that 3000sqft measurement include the basement? If so, what is the sqft above grade?

[redline_13000]

for that price it should be 3000sq feet above grade

[Ukyo8]

Steep price

We have a beautiful new home in Mckenzie towne that we MUST SELL as soon as possible. We are moving to Kelowna and have to sell this house so bad that we are willing to lose money to get the deal done. We have dropped our price by $60,000 and will move a bit more if we have to. I have never LOST money in real estate, but we have to be open to it here.

Sounds like he's open to lowball offers. Beyond is a good place for those.

Beyond is "THE" place for lowballers.

Brutal. They are selling a half million dollar home and they aren't spending the money on an agent.

Maybe when the market is hot you can get away with a shitty ad like that. During a slower period, a professional ad and an agent will help you sell much faster, and possibly at a better price.

thats a pretty good price.

but not many pictures

Please post address, or pm me.

Thank you.

I'm gonna guess that it is probably about 2100 sq. feet above grade. And that the price should be about $469,999.00. :devil:

That's why I asked - I don't know what prompted the sellers to originally list at 590k in the beginning for a home that can be had in better communities for 150k less.

Nice strategy - "desperate sellers" offering to take lowballs that would only bring it to fair market value if you could get it for under 450k

Wow only a 110k markup on the purchase price

At best if that's the case.
Risking ban stick here, but why is the price so high?

[topmade]

If they are so desperate to sell at least use something like WeList that people actually know about. I love how people post sq with the basement added.

We need an addy please

you are bang on,. I searche and found it,.. also found th neighbours houses that sold,. smaller but price/sq/ft would equal what you stated zfan

[analbumcover]

i have to say it is clever to overprice a house and suggest that you are more then welcoming to offers due to desperation, some people will think, wow this place must be something im going to offer 80k less and see what happens, oh, they accepted without even a counter, what have i done?

[us722]

higher than usual price never attract buyers, it "might" catch some attention but no one's stupid enough to just be pulled by the word "desperate"
Just like this ad, catches attention but you just laugh and move on.....

Maybe it's owned by the Forzani Group hence the interesting price tactic. :thumbsup:

There are a ton of companies out there that will give true esperate sellers cash for their house. Granted this is not going to fetch therm a great price but it can be had. Why not get an appraisal from one of those compaines (or more) and then post like a used car ... I'm going to sell this house for X, if you can do better please let us know, type thing. I saw this done with a house in the west end and the silent auction held 1 month after the start of advertising had over 10 bidders.
