Homebuyer pledges to name her first-born after the seller
- tschwimmer 5y agoPlease note that the author of these tweets is the CEO of a company that has a strong interest in you buying a home and the data in these tweets is unsourced. I'd be willing to believe this comes from internal Redfin data, but I'm not inclined to believe this analysis without access to the original stats and queries (which of course would never be shared). Therefore I strongly suggest you take this entire thread with a grain of salt.

I don't think this means "even if you offer to name your first-born after the seller they decline", I think it reads as "if you make an incredibly weird offer you will be declined because you sound like you're either a someone who's fishing for a writeup on evil sellers or an incredibly weird person who will cause strange issues".
- silexia 5y agoThis is a strong indicator of inflation: homeowners are not willing to accept the currency of exchange (USD) in return for their houses at this point. USD is devaluing too quickly for people sell then reinvest, thus pushing housing inventory to new lows.
- redis_mlc 5y agoYou sound like a crazy person. I suggest you step away from the keyboard for a day or so before posting in public forums. (Yes everybody knows the Biden administration is in the process of destroying the value of the US dollar, but that hasn't been realized yet, and it's what Dems voted for.)
