I really don't want a sign in my yard. It's none of my neighbors business if I'm selling my house.
I have had several clients lately who didn't want a sign in their yard. It does take away one source of inquiries about the home. Also since I still do print as well as internet advertising there is a good chance that those neighbors will find out that the home is for sale anyway. If you want to sell your home in this market, it is best get as much exposure as possible.
The reblogged post below by Tish Loyd does a great job of explaining the issue.

With all due respect, you are incorrect. It is in your best interest to have as many people as possible know that your house is for sale. No one can buy it, if they don't know it's available. With over 160 homes currently for sale in
Wrightsville Beach, NC, we need to take advantage of any form of advertising we can.
First, let's deal with the neighbor issue. Your neighbor may be just the person to help sell your house. Think about it: Since they already like the neighborhood, they are more likely to suggest to friends or acquaintances there's a house for sale in their neighborhood. You want, and need, all the "advertising" you can get. Talk to your neighbors, let them know you are selling your house and give them one of the flyers I gave you. Ask them if they know anyone looking to buy, and if perhaps they might like your house. Most people would like to help choose their new neighbors!
Many potential buyers aren't working with a REALTOR®, and begin their search by driving around neighborhoods they like, looking for real estate signs. Sure, most people today begin their search for a new home online. But, many are still taking a weekend drive through communities they like, taking note of the homes they see with real estate signs. They even call the Listing Agent on the spot, to get more info. Can you afford to miss that chance?
Our goal is to sell your Wrightsville Beach, NC house in the shortest amount of time, on terms which make you happy.
Along with a great marketing plan, having a sign in the yard will help us to do just that!
