Genuine question — when did the power dynamic in real estate flip to where buyers are treated like they’re lucky to even be considered?
I’ve had sellers refuse showings unless I’m pre-approved, act insulted by competitive (not even lowball) offers, and list properties with major issues while pricing them like they’re made of marble. It feels like the attitude is: “Pay me top dollar and don’t ask questions.”
But here’s the reality — the buyer is the one assuming the risk, taking on the debt, and committing to a 30-year liability. We are the market. Yet somehow, asking basic questions or offering under ask is seen as “not serious” or “wasting time.”
Are we in a seller ego bubble? Or is this just baked into the culture now? Genuinely curious how both buyers and realtors see this.
