Don't change the sign out front!

By
Real Estate Agent with Bucci Realty, Inc. BK3064647

While walking my dog, Diesel, this morning I noticed a couple of town houses on the Rockledge Country Club that had new real estate signs out front.

They have been for sale for a long time!  Not sure exactly the months (years?) but a long time! 

  • I wondered... where is the issue? Why have these not sold yet?  After all, they are in a reasonably nice location.
  • I wondered if the real estate agent(s) had marketed over the Internet.  I hear that is very effective! 
  • I wondered if the agent(s) ever conducted an open house?  They sometimes work although rarely.
  • I wondered if the agent(s) had spent a lot of money on mostly ineffective print advertising?
  • I wondered what problems these properties had lurking behind the front door?  After all, everyone knows if it does not sell right away, there must be a problem!

Then it occurred to me....I could have had a V8!  Not really, it must be.....PRICE!

As a seller sometimes you just have to call your agent up, be direct and ask them "How is my price, really?"

Changing the sign out front will rarely never sell a property if the price is not consistent with the competition!

If you are considering buying or selling a home in Viera, Suntree and Rockledge, Florida, please give me a call.  I would welcome a chance to be your Realtor of Choice!

Well,sometimes changing realtors has helped..but you see these listings where the sellers have a new sign every 90 days....which is just crazy.Now is not the time for impatience...and quite frankly,those kinds of sellers,we just do not need.

BLRGUY - Thanks. You are right.  Those types are just making the market look worse and wasting everyone's time!

Hi Gary:

You are absolutely right....it's ALWAYS the price. 

No matter what the condition or location, if it's priced to sell, it will sell.
