Re: Sellers, come in!
Thanks in advance for any answers! I live in the suburbs in a metropolitan area and there is a lot of competition around here. Just curious to see where others are at.
I'm glad you posted this! I was wondering some of the same things about others.
How long have you had your house on the market?
It was on 12 days before we signed a contract

No.

I had 7 showings, one of those was a 2nd showing

How many open houses? 1
Have you gotten feedback from all potential buyers' agents? Yes. I think.
Where are you advertising? I honestly don't know. We don't live in the area any more, so I'm not sure what our agent is doing to push our house. Not much, I don't think.

It was on the market for one day. It sold the first day.

No need.

We had two. The first people who looked at it bought it.
How many open houses?
None
Have you gotten feedback from all potential buyers' agents?
No need.
Where are you advertising?
Just the realtor's website and a sign in our yard.
We just sold last month.
How long have you had your house on the market? one day
Have you reduced the price? If so, how many times and at what span of time? We didn't need to reduce it
How many showings have you had? four
How many open houses? we cancelled the open house for day 2 because we got 2 offers the first day it was on the market
Have you gotten feedback from all potential buyers' agents? yes
Where are you advertising? my realtor had it listed
We were extremely lucky that our house sold quickly. It was in a desireable neighborhood with no other houses for sale at that time in the sub. It was pretty updated and very clean. I touched up all of the paint too so it looked move in ready. It was a big lot relative to our neighborhood and it was in a great location in the sub. We did price it right, even though it was a financial blow to us. The market is what the market is.....even though it stinks. We had to take a loss on the house but had no choice as we were moving out of state. If you over price it, it will not sell. Make sure your pricing is in line.
Thanks, everyone, for the responses! Good to see a variety of answers. I know that every instance is different, but I just was curious on what others' experiences were/are.
Congrats to the sellers who sold quickly and good luck to the rest of us!
