How many days after listing

[snoop101]

Hello all

Just curious on how many days after your house/condo got listed did you start having real estate agents come by with showings.

The day we listed it, it was C/S the next day.

The was with Jordan, last year.

If its priced right you should have constant activity the first few days.

Ohh wow

I wonder if the long weekend will make a difference.

I could see this. I think its amazing though that in my area all the condos that sold all looked stock. Makes me feel good cause we changed the whole condo around.

Long weekend generally slower traffic as realtors/buyers are out of town. Especially if its the last long weekend before school.

my Realtor listed my place June 15th at 11am and I had a showing at 2:30, it was conditionally sold for asking price by 8pm. They took possession Aug 1st It was pain free..... Besides all realtor and lawyer fees

Jordan Lotoski had a couple who wanted to view before it even hit the market. Listed on a Wednesday sold by Friday for 99% of asking price. This was back in June.

First showing was first day on the market. Conditionally sold the following day. This was about a month ago
In sage hill.

Sounds like you guys are getting great value out of your realtors...lol. Houses are selling themselves these last 6 months however it had slowed down in the past month as the market seems flooded. Lots of houses in the NW have been on for 30-60 days and have reduced prices. People are getting greedy and listing way above market.

Granted this was in 2009, we signed the papers the Wednesday night with the agent, had 4 showings the Friday, and had two offers about to roll in the day we hit MLS (Saturday). The other couple did not want to compete so we signed the offer the other couple presented after a bit of negotiating.

It does not matter what the market conditions are, if you are listing at a fair price it will move quickly.

The good indicator if your price point is right, if you have minimum 10 showing a week. If market is "hot" in your area, you should see interest right when you place it on the market, provided you are in the "market" price range.

We put out condo up tonight and the real estate agent is going to match what others were selling at. The biggest difference is like I said before the other condos looked like they did in 2001. After putting in nice dark laminate through out and tile flooring in the bathrooms it sure makes the other condos look blah. Some even had the stock appliances (we put in all Samsung stainless steel).

Yeh probably because the market was hot, but when I bought my house last year, it had ~ 15 showings in the first couple of days before it even hit mls.ca.. and of course I put in an offer within the first 24 hours. I think if it's priced right it'll fly.

Haven't sold my place, but my neighbor's house just sold for $25g under asking price, and 29 days on the market.

He had people looking right away, but wanted too much to begin with IMO.

Wow that's a big chunk of asking price. I assume your neighbor asked for a lot trying to get lucky and hope someone grabs it.

Are you selling for a reason or just to see if it would sell? I would have thought the real estate agent would have told you straight out that you guys are asking too much.

Interesting though.

Mine isn't for sale, I was just relating my neighbors experience. Mine would probably have sold for his asking price, just because I have the triple garage, and he only had a single.

I'll be in this house for a long ass time.

So what is it then?

Sell in 1-7 days, Realtor not worth it. I want some money back from commission etc.

Or

Price higher, sit for 30-60 days, the Realtor sucks, get a new one.
