It happens again and again and again, we get a new short sale listing in Saint Petersburg, we price it according to the "traditional comps", we get no showing, no calls, no offers. We lower the price on the short sale and we lower it again and again, finally it looks attractive to buyers and you get 20 calls and 10 showings in two days. During these two days you get phone calls from the buyer's Realtor. "My client liked it a lot, we might put an offer in after he sells his own home" or  "Anne we will submit an offer after the buyer has talked to his bank for a mortgage approval" or  "My buyer wants to make an offer but he first needs to come back next week and show it to his family" As I listing agent in a single agent relationship with the seller, what am I supposed to do? WAIT? I am sorry. If you want to buy a short sale here in Saint Petersburg you need to be ready to make an offer ASAP and you better have your pre approval letter in your hand. Once a short sale listing is priced way below market value, tons of buyer come out of nowhere and the seller can not wait for them to get their act together.
