Plenty of showings, no offers. Should we hold or drop price?

Located about 15 minutes from Philadelphia (south NJ)
We listed 11 days ago, and have had about 25 showings so far, and have an open house tomorrow.
We actually bought about 6 months ago, and am needing to sell and move out of state, I put a lot of work into the house in this short time, all new appliances, new sink, new flooring in the enclosed patio/laundry, new vinyl fence. In 2024 a new roof, new electrical.

House appraised for 365k when purchased (for whatever that's worth), and per the realtors suggestion based on comps, we listed for 355k (5k more than purchased.)
Zillow and Redfin claim the house is "hot", has 4k+ views and plenty of saves, which made me feel hopeful, but all the showings with no offers have me worried.

Not sure if that number of showings is good or not for the area, but according to my realtor it means the price is fine since there is interest, and dropping the price wouldn't make a difference. However, I am needing to move to the new state in August so am considering dropping the price and eating a bigger loss in hopes there is no overlap.

The feedback has all been the same, "adorable, very well kept, very nice neighborhood, half the feedback has been price is "just fine", the other half say "too high" BUT they all understandably say it is "too small" which I can't really do anything about.

Below is the listing.

I appreciate any advice as I'm a complete novice at this. Thank you very much!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
