Been house hunting as well. You know what I've seen more than ever? Seller's agents behaving as jerks. Things we experienced going to open houses:

- Agent sizes us up (I dress down on purpose), says something to the effect of "You know this house will probably sell for even more than (already high) asking".

- Agent just sits around playing with her phone. No shits given.

- Agent sizes us up, realizes we're just window shopping/taking our time, "mansplains" to us "you know how this works, right? 24 hours from now there will be multiple offers and it will be gone"

The other unfortunate thing right now is that loan rates are (finally) spiking. Like > 4% for 30 year fixed. I wish we bought before the winter... And even worse if this keeps up the housing prices will crash just when we bought high. Oh well.

Realtors are nothing but leeches nowadays and it’s a profession that needs to die or greatly change.
