We haven't had any showings after a month on the market...what should we do?



Skip, I have had my house on the market for a month and I have had no showings...What should I do?
 Well, a good rule of thumb to go by is two weeks with no showings or ten showings and no offer should throw up a red flag.
 But Skip we priced it right where it should be according to the CMA (current market analysis) that our agent brought over."
 Yes, I agree but the information from that report is now over a month old. Get an updated CMA to see if a price adjustment is necessary.
 Skip you don't understand...you haven't seen our house.  It is the best home in our neighborhood and yet other homes around us have sold.
Everything is going to boil down to price,  if your home needs work you can compensate by adjusting your price, if your home is in a declining area you can compensate with price.  Keep in mind your agent has the responsibility of marketing not pricing; that is your job.  You see, you control the price by taking the information you have been given and pricing your home to sell in the time frame that you want it to sell in. As an agent, by putting dollars into a marketing program it drives more buyers to view your home. I have no desire to just list your home, because you don't get excited when it is listed; you get excited when it is SOLD!

  Grace and Peace...
