Why Won't This One Sell?????

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Hamm Homes

We have had a wonderful two story home in Pradera Country Club on the market for the past three months and only had a handful of showings.  It is a great home in a prestigious neighborhood, and yet we cannot get folks in the door.  I just don't get it!  We increased the coop to the buyer's agent to 3.3%.  That is a payday of over $22,000 to some lucky agent. 

The home is located at 5085 Rialto Drive, Parker, CO 80134.  It sits on 3/4 acre on a nice professionally landscaped lot.  It has upgrades galore inside and out. This 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 3856 square foot home is ideal for any family wanted to experience Colorado living in a golf course community. The price is $689,900.

Features include: 4 car garage, custom hand selected granite slab counters, cherry cabinets, wide plank hickory wood floors, two custom fireplaces, steam shower, two furnaces, two central air conditioning units, central vacuum system, whole house humidifier, four outside patios including a firepit and so much more.  It shows like a dream and will be perfect for the right buyer, but how do we get them in the house?

We have tried open houses and have had virtually no one come in.  Any suggestions from the AR community would be greatly appreciated!!!  Thanks so much.  Here are some photos to review.

Will, that is a beautiful house in a beautiful location! Have you had this home on a broker's tour? How about a wine and cheese twilight open house?

Awesome home! For the den photo I would focus more on the fireplace. How long are similar homes staying on the market.

That is a very nice looking property.  Sometimes it is a combination of factors.  Price and appearance are key!

Thanks for the imput,  other in the area are taking about 6 months to sell, but this home is 2 blocks away from the club house and shows great.  I know it takes only 1 person to fall in love with it, wish it would happen soon.

It is always amazing how some homes get lots of traffic and others don't.  This is a great home.  It should sell soon!
