Our house has been listed for 22 days. We have showed it 11 times. We are letting buyers know close date will be June 1st. We have received one offer which was the very first showing and $75k under listing price so we declined.
I thinks it’s the yard and my trashy neighbor. We also have cats and a dog but they are clean and I pick up the poop outside and clean boxes before we show the house. Nobody has ever told me they smell cats in my house.
Our yard is on a hill, it has a nice outlook to a ravine in the back but you can’t really go out there and play sports or use the yard much except for campfires and barbecuing. We have hot tub and it’s great for adults I think. We also had some trees cut down and the debris is still in the yard and the old fence is still there and could be removed because it’s broken.
Our road is narrow and windy so people zoom down it and it’s not safe for kids riding bikes. And then you have my damn neighbor who is so freaking trashy that there is an old inflatable pool outside his house with old water in it and trash everywhere. He’s diagonal from us so that better than right next door but still.
We bought before Covid and raised our 2 kids here and slowly remodeled our home over the past 11 years. The interior is better than ever. I think it’s priced okay but am contemplating reducing cost $25k in mid April. I will also be working on cleaning up the backyard by cutting up the tree we cut down and moving the wood out and throwing the fence away.
What advice do you have about getting my house to sell and when I should start lowering the price? I actually came up with the original listing number because I was going to sell my house without a realtor and was comparing comps with an excel spreadsheet. The realtor thinks we should give it a month.
