[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if at some point it will become more like selling or buying a car.  There's a sticker price and that's what you pay, no dithering and negotiating.  It used to be that buying a car was a whole art form and it's much less so today.[/quote]

Carfax for real estate?
I love it![/quote]

You mean Carmax?

It’s not happening. The market for cars is too different compared to the market for real estate.

There are always lots of cars to choose from. You can even have one shipped cross country, if you want. Carmakers can always make more cars. That is why prices are what they are.

Homes are different, especially in established markets. There is a finite amount of houses available in any given location, neighborhood, or school boundary. Location is not fungible for many people the way like the exterior color of a car is, or the decision to pay 400 to have the preferred color shipped from a few states away.

A house sells for whatever someone is willing and able to pay for it, end of story.[/quote]
