That's not necessarily idiotic. You might pay over asking to avoid bidding wars. Location, size, and amenities are more important.

They had to completely remodel the entire thing. Had to walk through one bedroom to another. Living room was big enough for a couch and tv

There was no other bidders the house had been on the market over a year. The location was "ideal" in that it is 10 minutes from mommy. 1/2

My ex's mum had a house sale fall through due to the owners not wanting to lower the price by 10k due to structural issues 1/2
