This was really funny.  I know this client and I absolutely believe she said what follows.

A client had a seller whose house was not selling, easy to imagine in this market.  His house was dated and they were trying for the price that might sell it if it were updated.  Obviously, in this market it didn’t sell.

So, being the good Agent she is she explained that in this market with the competition of more houses on the market he needed to reduce the price.

He said that he was in no hurry and instead he would just take the house off the market until the market got better.

She said, “John, there won’t be a better market until shag carpeting comes back.”

I thought that was laugh out loud funny.
