Suspect the validity of any listings on there. They will leave up a host of off market and sold listings just to keep trolling viewers personal data for contact info. I learned that the best way to check on those is just direct call the lister/agent for something of interest you find there.
YOu are right we have the same problem down here on ly far worse no one is selling anything down here at any price. THose that wanted to leave have left the rest of us are relatively happy.
