The full size refrigerator in the bedroom is a nice touch. You might consider relocating that appliance. Four days, one showing isn’t the end of the world. Give it a couple weeks and see where you are. After Labor Day, in my market, things slow down because families are not looking to relocate voluntarily. If you don’t see something after a couple weeks, you are probably overpriced and need to adjust.
You're just priced at the top of the market in that neighborhood. You've got 50ish direct comps that are priced less than yours, many of which show VERY well online.
mscrief: I agree with Skipito. You've done a great job staging your home but the problem is that your direct competition shows nice as well, give or take an update or two, and are priced lower, and/or have a bigger lot, and/or larger.
Given the DOM for the area, four days and one showing is probably par for the course. this time of year there's a cooling down. there are homes in my neighborhood that have sat for days.
for must-sell situations like yours, then you might want to consider opendoor/ibrokers. in a way, they're best for those who need to sell quickly and since you've kept your home looking nice they won't deduct from your proceeds for repairs. might be worth checking out. i wouldn't put an offer on a home without a contract on my current home, but that's me.

Opendoor or iBroker? Not unless you want to take a very large haircut on value which at $229K list price there isn’t a lot room I imagine. The moral of this story is don’t offer on a new place until you have the old place at least under contract. Putting yourself in a must sell situation is terrible and buyers sense desperation

From what I’ve heard sellers at that price point don’t take as big of a haircut as you’d like to think.
They mentioned exploring an OpenDoor offer. The fact that they are overpriced is irrelevant in the case of OpenDoor. OpenDoor makes their offer irregardless of list price. As I said, any amount is a haircut, percentage wise, for $220K+/- property.
there's someone who posted on here - can't recall the topic - who had sold in that price range and they said that their offer wasn't that bad, especially since they didn't get any deductions for repairs.
now, in my price range ($500k-up), the iBroker offers stank, and no one would even consider dealing with them.
i'm not necessarily in favor of opendoor and their ilk, but they do serve a purpose for those like that poster, who finds herself in a "must sell" situation. I stand by my suggestion that she consider them if things drag out and she really needs to move/want the WA house. Yes, you may have lost some "profit" from the sale, but you'd get to move. Again, I wouldn't bother with Opendoor/Offerpad/whatever, but it's not that bad for people like that poster. Also, her area seems to not be as hot as she thought at the moment. It happens.
