I have a 2 bed 2 bath double wide 960 square feet that is in move in ready condition in an all age park in Florida that comes with some appliances, air conditioning units, and has some upgrades. The closets are both walk ins. My husband, who has been a maintenance technician for 4 years and knows how to properly redo homes, put a lot of work into it in order to put it on the market, but he took way too long to do it and the market has cooled a bit. We priced it originally at 45k OBO because FEMA trailers in the same park and single wides with less square footage on the worse side of the park were selling between 28-39k... Long story short, we only get people wanting to do RTO/Subletting, which per the office is not allowed.
I've tried knocking down the price, putting in marketplace groups, etc. but even knocking it down to 40k (because my husband doesn't want to do 38 because he thinks we lose haggling power) hasn't done anything and because he took so long to do repairs and do it 'his way' instead of doing a quick sale as is when we had a buyer because he thought we could get more if he did more work, we're suffering a bit. We have the title in hand for the property (which in the state of Florida is considered personal property and registration/title transfer is done at the DMV), but the park it's located in raised prices to 625/month from the 575/month it was prior to October. Even though this is comparable to a lot of all age park prices in the area, I think it is starting to scare off a lot of buyers. We can't afford a flat fee broker or a realtor so listing on realtor and things like that won't work for us.
With the economy how its going now, we are hemorrhaging money by holding onto it and paying lot rent plus electricity to ensure it stays in good condition. How might I go about finding a reputable cash offer place for it, and what can I realistically expect if it doesn't need any work, was manufactured in the 80's but has since been completely remodeled and is up to code on the inside, has new siding, new paint, some new flooring, no leaks, TPO roof that is less than a few years old, extra materials on hand, has a microwave range, new dishwasher, has a great front load washer and dryer in the home (though park has onsite laundry facilities plus pool and some other amenities like sports court)? He really wants to get market value for it and still wants to hold out for a large amount but we really can't afford to wait much longer for a buyer at this rate. Can anyone offer any advice?
