[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for all of your opinions. I am the owner of the house you have such strong opinions about. It’s easy to make bold and thoughtless comments when you’re anonymous. I thought I post this comment to clear up some of your misconceptions and rest your wondering minds:

1. House sat for three weeks because WE (the owners) determine what we are willing to let the house go for. We LOVE our house. We LOVE being on Reno and we LOVE our neighborhood. We have soundproof windows and almost never hear any noise from Reno. We also have never had any break ins, shady people walking around our house or stolen packages, unlike our neighbors on “quiet” streets. We were willing to give up our beautiful house and relocate if the sale price made it worthwhile. We had multiple offers over list price that we rejected and ultimately decided that we love our house too much to give it away.

2. For those of you complaining about the size versus price: you obviously have different priorities. The reality is that you cannot get a large, (non-builder-grade) remodeled house, with a completely private rental unit, driveway with space for two SUVs, storage, fenced patio, and new roof in North Cleveland Park under $1.5m. Everyone values things differently. Our house is perfect for our family and we wouldn’t change a thing about it. We have no reason to sell it at a price less than it’s value to us.

3. For inquiring minds: there is nothing wrong with the pipes. We drinks a lot of water. We prefer spring water. And we forgot to cancel our large bi-monthly delivery order while we were out of the house getting it ready to go on the market. The water was delivered just before the house was listed. And also, yes, we ARE and WERE living in the house and certainly not desperate to sell.

4. Marjorie is a great agent. She is tough but she is honest. She doesn’t play games. The market is what the market is. Until a week before we listed, the market was in a ridiculous bidding war frenzy. Market has slowed. This is because interest rates have been rising. This affects buying power.

Thank you to posters with kind comments and legitimate questions. For everyone else, I hope you find something more satisfying and productive to do with your time than troll message boards and slander a community professional.

I believe most of this except the part about multiple offers over list price. If you had offers, what kind of unrealistic escalation were you looking for? I mean, I think your house is lovely and I too wouldn't mind living on Reno, but were you actually hoping for 1.5? Because that is truly unrealistic, despite the nice renovation. And based on the other house further south on Reno, also still sitting on the market at 1.2 I call b.s. [/quote]
