The asked prices are high, but are the business being closed? I have the habit of perusing real estate sites for passing time and keeping a general idea of the prices, should I have/want to move, and one thing that I've noticed is that while prices are high, there are a lot of houses in the ads that have been advertised for a really, really long time. Different sites and different ads for the same house sometimes have different cover photos, but I have been seeing the ads for such a long time that I can immediately recognize a lot of those houses on the first look at the ad.

There's a house in Atherton that's been on the market since at least June 2021. First they asked $20m then dropped to $18m and now $17m with no nibbles.

It was last sold in 2015 for $7m.
