That Magic 8 Ball’s Getting Cloudy
Posted on April 1st, 2008 by Jonathan Dalton
In what only can be described as the perfect wedding, our buyer who keeps looking for free pricing advice for Buckeye’s Verrado subdivision from panting agents on Trulia Voices who can’t seem to remember she has an agent received a response from the “wait, rent” respondent with the Magic 8 ball.
We’ll skip the usual questions about why real estate agents are so anxious to provide advice to someone who proudly proclaims they’re working with an agent (and who goes to great lengths to compliment the agent they’re attempting to second-guess online) and go to the Magic 8 ball:
wait
i’m pretty sure they’ll be cheaper in the near future
each area is different
but the trend is your friend
and the trend is down
1/2 sounds good
but what if the house price run up was 400%
just for comparison
compare to before bubble 2000-2001 pricesanyways
good luck
Let’s see … in 2000 and 2001, Verrado was dirt and cactus. It didn’t yet exist. Of course, the run-up in prices here in Phoenix also hadn’t yet happened. Not that such things matter when the panel appears in the Magic 8 ball’s window.
Sound advice indeed, and further proof that you get what you pay for.
