"It has been hard to convey, through anecdotes or data, how bizarre the US housing market has become," Kelman said. "For example, a Bethesda, Maryland homebuyer working with @Redfin included in her written offer a pledge to name her first-born child after the seller. She lost."

PeanutButter Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 This is extremely sad. Our property market and buying/selling processes are actively detrimental to people's health and mental wellbeing.
