Airplanes flying over the house every 5-10 minutes wasn’t the only complaint. “The kitchen is too small, can you get fire insurance, it’s single-zone air conditioning, the bathrooms are original, you don’t have a pantry” – it just never ends, even at a house with hundreds of positives. I have no regret about doing as many upgrades as we did here, nor do I doubt my attractive price ($2,499,000). It’s because if you don’t sell in the first couple of weeks, buyers want to lowball, period. What’s the lesson about the current market conditions? It’s a market for the affluent only – those who get tripped up over a few bucks don’t have a chance of finding a decent home. Go buy a fixer for cheap and hope you can survive the money pit.
