Your reservations are well-founded: when I went to look at the property, I got a simple message: "We crashed on you".

As a web developer, I have to say, um... wha?

$269k for an apartment in Young? That's not cheap.

it was 26k when i looked at it this morning....

I know that values are going up - but a jump from 26k to 269k in one day is cause for alarm....

I do agree though - it is a lot of money, and probably too much, for an apartment in Young....

What about the presence of typos going up? Do they count?

House down the road from me is listed for $125k, which makes it the cheapest house in the entire town and $100k minimum below comparable properties with 1 less bedroom. $5k less than much crappier attached renovator's delights with 1 less bedroom.

I rang to ask if it was a typo. Nope, they thought it was a reasonable price. Wish I hadn't signed a building contract already, its the cheapest 4br house for sale around her for YEARS.

Hasn't sold yet though, probably suffering "why is this one half the price of comparable properties?" syndrome.
