location: Houston, TX
house: built in 2020, 3b2b single family, great condition, lots of upgrades, inspected 3 years ago. Lawn service supposedly provided by agent. fully vacant (no furniture), no staging from agent. yes MLS.
background: we moved out of state in a rush due to recent work change. we did not shop for seller agents at the time and ended up re-hiring our then buyer agent to list and sell the house (later found our agent does not have much selling experience/record). We moved out in March. The house is fully vacant and in the hand of our agent for sale. On market for ~ 4 months. We ran multiple comps over the time and think we are fairly priced (right on average in the neighborhood, not counting upgrades)
Since our new location is quite far away we were not able to revisit our house. but according to our agent there has been > a dozen of showings so far (quite a few in the first month). No offer so far and interest is clearly down since Summer. Also for all the showings, only one clearly states not fit (need a different floor plan), everyone else is positive. none thinks price is too high.
We understand it's buyers market now but can't make sense of what turned visitors away. Our agent is not very good at communicating (never actively provide any update). So far the suggestion from our agent (or the lack thereof) is just to wait and see (we are open to price adjustment BTW). Our contract expires in a month (after the hot selling season ends).
We can appreciate some advice from reddit community: is 4 month on market nothing to worry about in this era? why all visitors turned away? should we renew contract with current agent? look for a more experienced seller after this? break contract earlier to catch the tail of summer selling season?
many thanks in advance!
