If you're trying to sell a home or property right now in Maple Valley or know someone who is, you're probably painfully aware of how much longer properties are taking to sell in our area.
But perhaps you can take some small measure of comfort in that you are not the owner of a property which has been on the market for 2378 days!! Yep. Do the math people. That's six and a half years!!! (And it could be longer because our MLS only archives back to 2000).
All kidding aside, the owner of this property is obviously not terribly motivated and he/she's chosen time over price. So if tomorrow is your day number 112, hang in there.
It could be a LOT worse. :-)

Wow, six and a half years! When will the market appreciation catch up with the listing price?
LOL! Sandy, I know can you even imagine?
Colleen - It's always nice to hear someone with a positive spin regarding the current market. Thanks for sharing!
BTW - I have to wonder if home staging has ever been suggested (assuming that the property is not land).
Yikes 2378 days! He should be on a town map so people can drive by and stare!
We've got a home in East Sac that's been on the market for more than three years, but this is crazy. It's all crazy. What do you tell a buyer who asks, "Why has this been on the market for so long?" I mean, it's likely to be overpriced. You'd think if the sellers had any desire whatsoever to sell, that they would at least take it off the market once a year and enter it as a new listing, LOL.
"2378" days??????... Can you just imagine the dialogue between the Seller and their agent?
