We met this week with homeowners who called us saying that they were tired of trying to sell their house on their own, and would we please come list it.
We met them, and they have a lovely, updated, comfortable waterfront home. We talked about what has been selling in the neighborhood and they said, "Well, we really don't NEED to sell."
Then, PLEASE, don't sell. We advised them that today's market would not support what they wanted/needed to get in order to sell, and since they didn't NEED to sell, to wait until the market reached their "need" level.
Should they keep their FSBO sign out? No - that's lengthening the time it will take to start the rebound. The number of homes on the market is part of the media's and the buyer's acknowledgement of how bad things are.
So, PLEASE - take your home off the market, if you don't need to sell, and aren't willing or able to meet the market prices, and wait until the market rises to your expectations.
