More inflation than at the moment?

Is the higher price agent inflating to get the listing or is the lower price agent just not keyed in well enough in the specific neighborhood?

I'm assuming if its a full build out it ran in the area of $600K +/- depending on size....odd to think it got built out without a lease or other commitment from someone.Ultimately in my world (retail medicine) it comes down to the physical location and attributes as it relates to the surrounding demographics and populations. 

My client's living room is completely unbalanced and odd looking because this wasn't done, which I had to hide with some fancy drapery "magic" that was expensive.

For example, we need proof of renters insurance and proof they put electricity in their name.So, it seems odd that you are accepted but they keep wanting more information. 

That seems a little odd, I still send out text messages and I dont have a website.

According to JP Morgan, the fact that the 10-year treasury has not moved lower than where it was during the first cut is very odd, as when looking at the last seven cutting cycles of the Fed, the 10-year treasury was below where it was when the Fed began cutting 100 days after the first Fed cut 100% of the time.

Odds are your newer builds are on the outskirts of a city into the suburbs where people fight to get a property if it’s affordable.

There's also discussion of intentional inflation, but is there any impact on real estate prices at all?
