My issue with shadow flipping: sellers not taking accountability and showing sellers remorse in some cases months after the fact. Sales people exist, period, in all areas of life. Some are shady, fact of life. If a sales guy can convince you to list the place you live in and find you a selling price that YOU agree to, that should be where it ends. It shouldn't matter that the property is flipped for double the next day; that's on the seller for not knowing the market or the buyer for over paying. Just my opinion on all these home owners crying foul after the fact.
On an slightly unrelated note since sellers are obviously in the driver's seat now. I wonder if we will ever see 'subject to buy' clauses on contracts. Seller has the right to terminate the contract if unable to buy another home within a set time. Not too different in principle to subject to sales which for all intents and purposes no longer exist. Sellers will likely have to leave some cash on the table but get the piece of mind they won't get priced out after selling like what has been happening the last 1-2 years
