I suspect the people that are considering Escala won't be naive enough to fall for this marketing ploy. Lame.

As for Redfin, I'll forward that to our data team and get them pulled off the site. Unfortunately the data we get from the county is pretty "dirty". Hey EconE,

What sources are you using for your past sales? I've noticed that some places listed on Redfin as past sales include commercial units, apartment complexes and even garage parking spots such as this one from a Cap Hill Condo that sold. unit... http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-property?external_id=61201 parking spots... http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-property?external_id=51457 http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-property?external_id=68679 I even came across an apartment complex in Bellevue that sold and rather than listing the sale as one sale, it was listed as over 100 different sales with each unit showing the same sales price of over 15MM if I remember correctly. It really makes one wonder just how many million $+ places actually are selling. How many are actually for sale. Well...it looks like you already answered that one. Many more than are accounted for on the MLS for sure. Way too many IMO. Just curious Matt…

I guess they're trying to artificially inject a sense of urgency into potential buyers hoping to make a sale. Of course they can sell those units, the prices are too low!
