Greedy sellers...

Bangkok-Dave · 2010-12-09 07:56:31

Why are sellers considered greedy because they don't want to let their property go cheap? It might not suit the bears plans but only a fool wants to sell when the market for anything is bad, not just houses. If you were selling a soft top car, you would know December is a bad time in the snow. Obviously you would wait…

Everyone is greedy by nature. When things work in their favour, they say they are sensible, whey against them, they call others greedy

For most people, who buy house to live, the greedy situation doesn't arise as after selling they need to buy another house (unless downsizing).

However, the BTLers can be termed as greedy as for them buying house is a business which is based on philosophy house price will always rise.

Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
