In three days, our quaint little home will have been on the market for a month. Thirty days. In that entire amount of time, our home has been visited by all of one person.One.
Anyone who has sold a home before knows that's not good. How can anyone buy our house if no one will even come in the door? My father-in-law told us the story of a young co-worker of his who is trying to sell her house. After a month, they were disappointed to find that they did not get any offers, even though the house was shown 25 times. What do we have to do to get our house to show 25 times? Give away gold bars?
In this market, I'm not surprised houses aren't selling. Home sales are continuing to slump, the economy has been stuttering, median home values are down and mortgage rates have been on the rise. In short, people who are selling homes right now are either really desperate, or really stupid.
Not sure where we lie just yet. But we've decided we won't let the charade carry on forever. If things stay at this pace, we'll get the message, pull the listing and work with what we've got.
Those of who are into metaphors, that means we'll be drinking lots of lemonade.
Lemonade sucks.
