I've been working with a buyer who refuses to see any house that doesn't "feel right" based on the listing photos. Sounds reasonable, right? Except her criteria for what feels right changes daily. Monday she only wants natural light. Tuesday she's convinced south-facing windows will fade her furniture. Wednesday she needs a big yard for her dog. Thursday she mentions she doesn't have a dog but might get one someday, possibly a Great Dane, possibly a Chihuahua, so we need to plan for both scenarios. Last week she rejected a perfect house because the kitchen had white cabinets and she'd just read an article that white cabinets are "over." I gently reminded her that she could paint cabinets. She looked at me like I'd suggested she perform open heart surgery on herself. Yesterday she told me she's "pausing" her search because Mercury is in retrograde and it's not a good time to make major decisions. I asked when Mercury would be out of retrograde. She said three weeks. I've already blocked that time off in my calendar for what I'm calling "aggressive self-care."
