Are we supposed to be sympathetic to the “problems” these people are facing selling their overpriced real estate? My only regret is that they’re not getting screwed over harder.

You wish hardship upon them because...why exactly?

Because in real terms it may not be real hardship so much as inconvenience - unless they're hugely indebted, which then makes it a much bigger problem for everyone.

But also because done the right way, it could help alleviate real hardship elsewhere.

Not sure how them having to sell their house for $1m less would somehow alleviate hardship elsewhere. It's not like it would go into taxes or something.
