Eh, we’ll see. Nothing happens until the big players say so. Watch, I believe it’s called, Banking on Bitcoin to see how they rigged the system in their favor.
Depends on what society says. I think some places will be more liberal with it and others won’t allow it in their town. I also think big players are positioning themselves to corner the market. I think it will be too regulated and taxes forcing people to continue to buy underground
for some reason "$" + "S" results in a blank. So I realize "NDL" you probably put "$"+"SNDL". why does it do that?
FIFY. Cheers
@uconnswag If you like TLRY’s prospects, have you analyzed possibility buying pre-merger APHA may be lower cost?
72% now. Holy META!
Not a single hedge?
I use VXX shares.
Perceived savings & convenience, but both companies also toss out inexplicably low ball offers which are non-competitive even if paying agent, inspection, etc fees in our homes current markets. If we were selling, we know the similar home values being sold in a day with multiple bids above asking prices with limited to no inspections. For sellers, Redfin and OpenDoor likely make more sense in other areas and times.
Beauty and fees lie in the eyes of the beholder
If I were buying I'd expect a discount on homes not listed with a 'market' local brokerage company and likewise if buying or selling would expect a premium for a major listing firm/agency. So the question on the selling side is can the agent you choose earn that big commission (its insane that commissions are still 6% here as prices skyrocket) or can you bargain with them using the internet listing sites as leverage? I'm not following at all, but I'd bet where I live in suburbs of Boston 90% of sales are conventional brokers & they are getting a 10% premium plus likely selling 99% of homes over say $600K.
Honest question, how do you perceive the savings as being perceived? In the case of Redfin, they charge less and get competitive prices for the homes they sell (I can't remember where I saw the numbers but they were actually averaging a slightly higher selling price). This did not include i-buying where you would expect to perhaps get a lower price in lieu of paying all the fees. If the savings and convenience are not real why are these companies growing by leaps and bounds? Again, honest question. I really think in a period of 5-10 years things are going to change a lot.
Simple math. At current home prices, neighbors put 4 houses on the market, 2 paid 6% traditional agent fees in 2 cases, paid inspectors, 1 sold by owner, 1 with lower fee minimal service broker, and each received multiple bids above asking prices and still netted markedly more than the Redfin and OpenDoor low ball quotes received in the last 3 weeks. Done. All things are not equal for all sales.
Got it but I think I was talking about it from a different perspective. I wasn't comparing Opendoor or Redfin's I-buying quotes to a traditional agent sale. I would certainly expect those quotes to be lower because they have to turn around and sell the house and make money doing so.
Right now they're embroiled in a lawsuit vs. Philip Morris. Most expect PM to settle. Once that happens, the price/share of HCMC should skyrocket.
