In the past week we have been dealing with three houses currently for sale. They are what you would loosely call "high end" houses. As you wander around with the agent, the usual exchanges take place about size and quality and renovations and street and area, talk about the market, what's the vibe etc. But the question we always ask, is why are they selling?
