logan50+FollowIf someone offered 1.5–2 times the market value of your home, would you sell?Let’s pretend someone knocks on your door and says they will pay you way over market value for your home. I’m talking fifty to a hundred percent more than what it's worth, all in cash, right now. If your place is worth half a million, they are handing you between seven hundred fifty thousand and a million. Would you take it? What might hold you back could be that it's too hard to find another place, or maybe emotional or family ties to the house. And TBH, I have one of those houses people seem to want. For more than twenty years, strangers have shown up at my door asking if I’d sell. 😅 One day I finally told a woman it would take 5.1 million. Word must have spread because a neighbor walking her dog later stopped and told me I was being ridiculous and asked if I really thought someone would pay that. That was the point! Since then, the knocks have slowed to almost none. #RealEstate #HomeOwnership #PropertyMarket #HousingMarket #Decisions #MoneyTalk #Home 139172Share
