It is a common psychological mistake that they presume others will value the upgrades the same as they do and assign it a market value accordingly. I am willing to bet this denial has been enabled by an appraiser who magically agrees with their self-assessment and probably by their realtor who wanted the listing. I'm sure they look at their house and say its better than anything else on the street so they are justified in assuming they will get the premium and those who may have offered less are trying to "steal" the home. Given the lake-front status of this location, I wouldn't be surprised if they have received multiple offers. And if so I am willing to bet they have all been within the same range, yet the sellers don't see this independent data (multiple offers) as a reflection of fair market value but as a coincidence of different people all under-offering in the same range. <br /> <br />If they don’t “need” to sell, which is likely the case if they haven’t lowered the price by now, one of two things will happen, ranked most to least likely. 1-They eventually take it off the market, disgusted that they didn’t get a “fair” offer, determined to wait out a better market. 2-They will get lucky and some buyer who is not price sensitive and really wants the lakefront house will buy it. Ironically, the latter kind of buyer who can afford to pay 30% over current market value is also likely to immediately do extensive work on the house, thus not actually valuing all the upgrades the current owners think make it special. They would just be after the location and structure. I wouldn’t bet on the latter. But, hey, it’s their house and they can do what they want with it. More power to them. I just don’t consider houses like this really on the market, because they aren’t in anything but a token MLS listing.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>publius</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, Nov 30 2009, 9:41 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home for sale $1,250,000 (Evans Dr.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Is this 1999???????????????????? <br />Maybe, back then you could get that much by selling it to some stockbroker or some other kind of crook.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Quess</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, Nov 30 2009, 8:07 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home for sale $1,250,000 (Evans Dr.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Sounds like someone is living in a fantasy world</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, May 12 2009, 7:58 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home for sale $1,250,000 (Evans Dr.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Or did the first one sell because it was $500K cheaper so it looked like the better deal as both homes look fantastic.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I agree the first one was priced as a deal and I heard it went over asking.
