some realtors in Vancouver cannot even be bothered to post pictures of houses. 25 competing offers quite often. no subjects to be removed from contracts.
some of the offers are made sight unseen. heck, some potential buyers haven't even been to the city before, let alone the neighbourhood or house.
buddy's neighbour in the hipster 'hood - Mount Pleasant - just sold for 700,000.00 over asking price. he was flabbergasted. in a good way.
