Friday's Deep Creek Price Change Spotlight

This week's highlighted property comes with an interesting twist (and it's no April Fool's Joke either). Not only is the price change a dramatic one, but the seller is also a bit of a surprise. 2834 STOCKSLAGER Rd was delisted on March 27th and relisted March 29th for $1,299,000. In between, the price decreased by $250,000 (a cool quarter million). The seller, a local bank and trust. So you might ask, why are they selling now? Good question. Several possibilities come to mind: (1) raising capital, (2) rental income below expectations, (3) executives can no longer justify owning a luxury residence to shareholders, (4) locking in a profit before possible changes to tax and accounting rules, (5) no longer interested in managing a rental property, (6) believe market is in decline and will not get a better price in the future? I'm just brainstorming and speculating here, but can anyone come up with other possibilities?
