VRBOs dynamic pricing tool rollout was an absolute disaster that seized up my calendar and never actually changed prices. 

Now more than ever guests are price sensitive and aware they can save by booking direct. 

Most agents will price one 5 bedroom the same as another and they will have wildly different qualities of furniture, location and revenue.

Thus, the lender got the property back at that price.

There has definitely been a price increase in Houston housing over the last couple years.

Mainly because I can craft the mortgage a little more (no pre-payment penalties, lower down payment, etc.) and eliminate the fees charged by lenders and brokers.One of the benefits of purchasing a listed property is that the broker will normally set the seller's expectations a bit more than you just contacting them off the street.It comes down to what the seller really wants: a certain price, interest, down payment, or term.

That coupled with the fact that it does often take a long time for these note deals to play out makes waiting just a bit longer seem like a pretty reasonable choice when you are in that situation.
