Waiting is difficult!

Waiting is difficult.

For us it is more difficult than usual in these last few weeks. Three weeks ago when we put our house on the market we had spent five months getting it ready and researched it thoroughly to be sure it was priced right.

All our years in the Real Estate business we have believed that when a property is priced right and in good condition, it will sell quickly.

Now with three weeks gone and only one showing we are having difficulty with the situation.

The fact that there are 10 other homes on the market in our subdivision has been taken into account. The fact that it has rained almost every day should also be factored in but we are not the ordinary sellers!

If a little knowledge makes average sellers a danger, consider our 58 years combined experience! We would be an agents nightmare!

After careful consideration of the over all market we have done the only thing we could think
Of to possibly make the phone ring. We lowered the price last night. This morning the phone rang with a scheduled showing for late today.

Of course the lower price does not assure us there will be an offer from these folks. It is a lottery possible though than if no one sees the house. If only we had an agent to blame for the inactivity!

Perhaps this experience will remind us down the road when we have sellers that get hostile... Waiting is difficult!
