A different strategy

1179 Kahili St
MLS: 2711506
Living Area: 2,474
Land: 10,356
Beds: 4
Baths: 2
Occupancy: Owner
Price:$1,100,000

If you want to distinguish yourself, you need to do something different. Apparently this owner took this train of thought to a new location:

June 14, 2006, 12:48 pm
Status Not Listed Active

August 30, 2006, 11:07 am
Price $950,000 $1,100,000

February 23, 2007, 10:01 am
Price $1,100,000 $1,200,000

June 15, 2007, 12:01 am
Status Active Expired

That's right, they RAISED the price, not once, but twice! "If it didn't work the first time, surely we didn't raise it enough!"

After it expired, it was relisted the same day at 1.2M. They lowered it to 1.1M on August 27th. I'd love to know the thought process here.

Here's the description, copied and pasted, typos are not from me:
LAKE FRONT, LARGE HOME, 10,356 LOT. WITH INTERIOR ABOUT 2,474 SQ FT. NEW KITCHEN,NEW BATHROOMS, NEW FLOORS,NEW WOOD DECK (WHICH YOU CAN SEE FROM KUKILAKILA).THERE ARE 4 BEDROOMS, AND ONE IS NEAR THE KITCHEN WITH SLIDING DOOR TO OUTSIDE, WHICH COULD BE AN OFFICE. THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR FORMAL AND INFORMAL DINNING,WITH A VIEW TOWARDS TROPICAL GARDENS. LOOK FOR THE NEW IRON DOOR.2 WATER HEATER

I just love reading in all caps, don't you? I would think a realtor hoping to sell at over a million dollars would do a little proofreading, I mean "dinning" or "2 water heater?"

On a side note, just how many pictures of one room do we need? No bathrooms, no bedrooms, but we know exactly what the living room looks like.

Update (1/17/08):
Still on the market. Same MLS, description, and price (1.1M). The update is that this house is now on craigslist as a rental.
