who has sold their house recently?

how long did it take? i know it's an awful time of year to have one listed, but i wasn't expecting it to be this slow of a market.

Re: who has sold their house recently?

  • Our house is currently on the market and our realtor told us not to expect any serious showing until mid- January.  Although ours has only been listed for less than a month, I'm frustrated things aren't moving faster.  But I keep thinking that the good news is that if ours isn't showing then the house we are hoping to buy isn't showing either. GL!
  • that's my mindset too re: if ours isn't showing the one we want isn't either...

    i knew it was going to be slow, but i didn't expect *this* slow. the guy down the street from us pulled his after 4 months of no showings, we're closing in on 2 months of no showings. we're revising our listing after the 1st of the year to have it pop up under new/revised listings again to get it more looks.

  • We also put a holiday bonus on our house.  The buyer's agent will get an extra bonus ($1-2k depending on the offer) if we accept an offer before the new year.  While we are still realistic that this probably isn't going to happen, we figure it can't hurt!
  • interesting idea!

    have you guys had any showings? if i remember correctly you listed right after we did.

  • We were on an agent's tour last week and had about 20 agents come through.  We got a ton of positive feedback, which was encouraging.  But that has been it!  Our agent said that we might get some traffic the last week of December because people are usually off work and can dedicate some time to serious house hunting, but we'll see if that happens!
  • i need to ask about doing that too. it can't hurt!!

  • Ours was up for a year... we took it down and are currently renting it with a promise to buy it att the end of the lease. Good news is our mortgage is covered. Good luck!
