So if the buyers cannot find a good deal, and after a long search find a house that they like, they are entitled to moan that it is after all for sale, and the seller does not have to accept your offerAnonymous wrote:
Exactly. Sure, the seller can "set" any price they want - but the buyers aren't going to be there is they set it too high and are unwilling to compromise. The sellers AND buyers are tracking recent sales data these days, and a seller should know when they are way above market value.

And it is the seller who determines the price.
If you do not have the money, do not buy.
Why complain that some house is too expensive?
Just look for one in your budget
You are going to have a difficult time selling your home with this attitude. A seller can indeed set any price she wants for her property, but it's the buyers in the market who determine if that's the right price. Buyers can suss out a unmotivated seller pretty quickly.

Two bedrooms up, two on main floor, one in newly finished basement. One full bath on each floor (two redone in past 5 years, one older). Galley kitchen that opens to a room we've used as either a dining room or family room. If we list, it'll be around 1m even. Large yard, small one car garage. Curious if that's something people would find odd or suitable. It just isn't what I think of when someone says "5 bedroom house in Chevy Chase," you know?
We would completely!! I have 4 older kids and would love the split from them -- they share rooms now so I wouldn't be concerned with putting them all upstairs, MB on first floor (is it set up like that?) along with a rarely used guest room. Nanny in the basement. Done!
Another parent who likes bedrooms split up. Not every parent has little ones!
