who has their home on the market right now?
I haven't posted here in awhile but thought I'd pop in! We are listing our home this week and I wanted to see how other Houston nesties are doing with their home sales. Anyone sell recently? Anyone still on the market?
Hope everyone is well!

Re: who has their home on the market right now?
We are closing on our sale on the 20th (thank you bpaullo!) Ours is a bit different from others because we had a townhouse, but it seems like the market in our area went down from the comps we used to list to the comps our seller used to buy. We really thought our area was on more of an upswing than that. We still are making money, but not much. From list to close, it took us a little over 5 months.
Good luck!
I would like to price very agressively but H doesn't want to go too low...I say price low and negotiate less, but not everyone agrees.
Our house was on the market for 3 weeks in February & we accepted an offer for 4k under our asking price.
ETA: We priced it pretty aggresively. There were too many other houses on the market that were similar to ours to waste our time & energy pricing it higher.
based on the feedback, your yard is going to be a HUGE bonus. We have the benefit of and end unit, but we only have a very small balcony. Many of the people who looked at our place commented that they wanted more outdoor living space. For people looking at townhomes, you can't always find that.
For some reason I think we may be close to you, but a bit farther east.
awesome to hear
I would like to price low as well to beat our competitors...at the end of the day, you negotiate down to that number anyway.
We are in rice military, so lots of townhomes there
honestly, I just want to sell the house and move on and move into a new home before summer ends. I have friends visiting in September and I'd like to be settled by then....that's the hope!
Our realtor told us that we would end up selling our house for what the comps were whether we priced it higher or not. (And he was right.) But if we priced it high, we wouldn't get the right traffic through the house & would end up lowering the price anyways. But by then the house would have been on the market for a while & people would be wondering if there was something wrong with it & they'd stay away.
totally makes sense!
i hope our pictures turn our great to draw buyers in---we are having them taken tomorrow.
On the market for 2 weeks.
2 showings - one for sale and one for rental.
We live out near IAH.
Our realtor said for the first time in her career she's had a few open houses where nobody showed - not even a nosy neighbhors!
Here. The market where our house is has gone away from us and we are coming out of pocket a couple of grand plus all realtor fees out of pocket. It stinks. The Buyers are coming tonight to finalize and we also have a backup contract coming tomorrow. It has been quite stressful. Buyers are paying cash, so it helps speed things up. We already bought a new house but have been remodeling in this downtime.
Good luck!
Where are you looking to move?
