HOUSE FOR SALE

My house was listed for sale for most of 2008.  I decided to remove the listing and wait until the market recovers.

Out of the blue a Realtor called to ask if it was still available and would we show it to her clients.  They LOVED everything about my home; accept the price.  A recent bank appraisal stated the current “value”; the buyer agent said the amount was wrong. ” Excuse me?”

After one week of deliberations (not offers) the clients decided to buy another home that was priced less. They will demolition the home and rebuild which was estimated to cost less.

This was a loose/loose situation for the buyers.  Now they will experience major remodeling for at least 18 months and as eveyone knows, estimates do not decide the final cost at all!

My new mantra:

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BUY MY HOUSE…

DOES NOT MEAN IT IS OVER PRICED!

Eventually the right people will come along and truly appreciate what this home offers AND accept the price.

Contact me if you are this person!  You won’t regret it.
