For the third straight month, sales on preexisting homes dropped, leading realtors to call it a “buyer’s market.” Here are some strategies sellers are using to entice buyers:
Dropping price by 50 bucks
Carrying around wad of money; acting like owning this house got them that money
Pointing out dishwasher several times
Explaining to potential buyers how fulfilling it is to make mortgage payment on time
Telling long, touching story about how grandmother needs $312,500 for kidney operation
Letting third blouse button go
Drowning out sound of noisy furnace with soulful vocals of Michael McDonald
Reassuring buyers that people purchase things they can’t afford all the time
