They know their market, and don't care to cater to anyone who is not a part of said market.
My parents still live in the same house in Brookswood that they bought in '79 for $80k or so. Today's value is close to a million for the home. But because it's in a well established nieighbourhood that's nearby all the planned expansion in the Brookswood/Fernridge area, every few weeks they get cold call offers from realtors and even regular people stopping by for between $1.5 and $2m for the home. It's fucking insane.

And for the record, that neighbourhood isn't in the targeted area for redevelopment. It's staying as a 1/2 acre lot subdivided housing neighbourhood.
