How to get foot traffic in our home?
Our house has been listed for 3wks now with only 1 showing (still waiting for feedback). No one at the open house. While we didnt think we would have it sold by now- we thought we would atleast have some bites. What gives?

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

I think our pictures are good. You tell me.... http://www.sibcycline.com/viewlisting.asp?mls=1312794&b=CIN&p=RESI&s=SFRD&m=1&sender=SearchResults&a=1221-Coolidge-Ave-Anderson-Twp.-OH-45230
We have another open house this weekend- then may do a price drop if no interest.
You have a cute house.
The pics are good. I do have a few suggestions though.
1. Front: If you can, put in some taller green shrubbery along the brick retaining walls beds to cover up more of the exposed foundation. Nothing fancy or pricey, just taller and green. Think basic like Home Depot or Lowe's. Also, I would paint your stoop railing black and make your front door red. If you can, I'd make your shutters black too. The brick, red, black, white color combo is a traditional one which can fit with your style home.
2. In that bathroom, remove the purple fuzzy toilet lid cover and swap your curtain for something more neutral - a crisp white or ivory to go with the tiled walls. Perhaps something with dark vertical stripes as vertical stripes can add height to a space and may make the bathroom seem larger.
3. Your home looks neat and clean. DH and I just sold a home in Northern KY (I see you are with Sibcy) and we had the most traffic after doing things that make a home cozy. For example, you could add area rugs and flowers or potted plants. Buyers needs to be able to see themselves living there.
4. Also, it doesn't appear that there is much counter space in the kitchen. Consider Removing all of your items on the counters. Is there enough room for one of those butcher block stationary or wheeled islands?
5. If you ever need to switch: We love Kimberly Cole-Stallworth with Keller Williams Realty. However, I do not know if she is licensed in Ohio.
Ditto the 2 PP's. Your house is very cute and it looks like you've done a great job with the pictures.
I'll add that we are selling our home in NKY. We close on Thursday. We were getting very frustrated because we also had very little activity on our house. We an open house with only 1 visitor, and then had only 2 showings in about 40 days. But, then we got an offer after the 2nd showing.
Sales are slow in the area. My only advice is to keep thinking positive because it only takes one interested buyer!
