The Price is Wrong
The Price Is Wrong
Have you seen the new real estate reality T.V. show called The Price Is Wrong? The old Price Is Right was remade to reflect the tumultuous times. Thousands of frustrated sellers batting zero (fsbos), cantankerous cancelled listings, and exhausted expireds, in addition to agitated agents vie for the right to sit in the studio audience. Several lucky contestants will be selected to pick one of three doors on stage which indicate why the property did not sell.
In order to attract the attention of the game show host, the audience members are cleverly
costumed in real estate revolting attire. Lime green shag sweaters, dresses with pet odors, textures & colors that don't match are a few examples. Some sit in the aisles to mock poor locations. Others go without bathing for days to suggest unclean rooms. One shrewd seller came dressed as an enclosed garage. But, every guest says they are unaware of why the property remains unsold.
As the studio audience jumps, shouts, and hollers for recognition, the T.V. host selects one lucky contestant who will be offered a small prize, or the opportunity to open one of the three doors on stage. The door is usually selected because it contains the answer to every seller's question, "Why isn't my home selling?"
The amazing fact is that behind each and every door there is a large, colorful sign that reads: The Price Is Wrong. Reluctantly, the seller realizes the lack of offers, the lack of showings, the tour feedback, the buyer comments, the listing agent calls, the newspaper articles, and the David Knox videos were all correct, after all.
That's what I love about real estate reality T.V. It confronts the modern myth that 'a person's home is their castle'. Some things are priceless and others should be priced less.
Don't miss the next episode of The Price Is Wrong.
