From the NYTimes Mar. 27, 2008
“Ms. Saatchi is always stunned, she added, at how insulted some clients feel when a low offer is made on their home — even as they turn around and make a paltry bid themselves.
“I say to people, ‘Why is it that the house you no longer want is worth more than it is, and the house you’re dying to have is worth less?’ ” she said. “The paradox of that is amazing.

To them, their memories are worth so much, but their future is such an unknown they don’t want to pay for it yet.”
Ms. Saatchi remembers a client who sold his vacation house in the Hamptons a few years ago. His family’s furniture had been packed into a waiting truck, and the buyer had done the customary walk-through before the final closing, when the buyer mentioned that it was a shame he wouldn’t be able to use the house right away — he was going overseas on business.” to read more in the NYTimes.
