They own multiple houses and are refusing to lower the price because houses that are objectively worse sold for 600k down the street.

Some truck owners are like this too. Trying to get what they paid for it

That cars/trucks were ever appreciating like they were was a complete joke

pretty reasonable this year. many people's appraised value actually went down (not mine, but it only went up a little)

I have zero sympathy for someone in that position. I’m not praying to sate someone else’s greed

Housing prices are notoriously sticky. People will sit on them for years unsold

Prayers to sell a house? Just sell it. Sellers market the past 4 years.

Its not a sellers market in Texas anymore and they refuse to accept it.

Until prices drop 30% it's still a seller's market. Haven't dropped at all in

I dont think thats how it works

That’s definitely how the numbers are looking… supply going up, demand down.

The main difference is interest rates. Nobody wants to overpay

Too bad you can't just roll over an existing loan to a new house

I thought I read in some countries you can, and that makes sense to me to keep
