Actually, ranting is pointless. You are looking to buy a resale, prices are generally within a certain range in that neighborhood.
I think it is fair and natural lah, every homeowner hope to profit from selling his place what, if you are selling you don't want to sell high meh?
When I was house hunting, I came across a really cheap flat, the owner was selling his 4-room HDB at 3-room price.
I went to see, no wonder, Ah long flat (owner owe ah long money so want to sell and hide), still tell me he upgrading to condo.
Well if you complain price high, go for ah long flat lah, sure much cheaper.
