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!

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.
