I don’t know much about the San Antonio market, is $260,000 for that home considered bubbly?
Something is wrong if the house has been on the market this long. It does not have high ceilings and the 1 acre lot is mostly rock. The listing has been through a number of agents.
Per a local Realtard, no one is buying anything unless it is an REO or a good deal on a short sale.
I love it how the broker in the original post did a "Begging a question" fallacy. Also known as circular reference.
First he stated a false fact, (aka one that has no proof). And in next statement assuming its validity quickly went to prove his next point.

The more I hear politicians or sales people the more fallacies like that I hear.
My wife and I were driving home one evening and saw a lot of signs for a place in our area. This was interesting to see because a realtor told us that all houses that are over 600k must be represented by an agent. So naturally after we saw a sign we wanted to see what this 600k thing in our neighborhood looks like.
It was an old average house, had some chandelier in the entrance not sure why. The asking price was 685k. This was just after the crash mind you, so prices started going down all over already at least half a year prior to this.
Realtor: "What do you think?"
Me: "I think its too overpriced."
Realtor: "You are right I think it should be around 650, 685 is a bit high. ...." She proceeded in trying to get us as clients... that was the end of it.
That thing sold a year later for 350k to some ahole who wanted to flip since it went back on sale for 399k instantly. It's still on the market with properties nearby priced at 320 and going down. I guess someone should have told him that this area is in low to mid 200's when it comes to affordability.

As some one here said, Bubble seller sells it to a bubble buyer.

As Suggested by Muggy:
Post your most ridiculous realtor quotes. Even better if they're from the web and you can post a link. (It's a good chance to practice using TinyUrl while you're at it).
FAB (FormerAptBroker) gets us started with:
He also said that all "normal professional people" in their 30s are easily earning from $300K to $1.5M. Really, I'm laughing on the inside.
That sets a high bar. But if you can top "Big Brother's" ridiculous quote, have at it...
