According to Katz, our area codes still lend themselves to stereotypes:310: Enviably rich, and the plastic surgeons who enable them.661: Cowboy boonies and Edwards Air Force Base.818: Valley Girl boonies and Bing Crosby’s R-1 paradise.626: Tournament of Roses parade, and that other valley.213: Staples Center and LAPD headquarters.323: Hollywood & vintage-bungalows expelled from 213.562: Queen Mary and L.A.

I do recall though that if a property has a legal listing agreement and buyer comes in at list price and seller terms that the agent has earned their fee.. this could be old school my days of selling real estate 30 to 40 years ago.. but I seem to recall that.. so thats different than what a seller can do with the listing price.. keep in mind with lumber doing what its doing for me who is activily building I have been raising prices almost weekly for some models of homes  One day it was 550k the next day it was 575k  then a week later I raised it to 600k and sold it at 600k.. the agents can look at listing history and they will ask and we just tell them  whats happening in the lumber markets and the supply chains like pipe is going to go up  anything plastic  roofing material is going up etc etc.
