Hi group,
Have not had to time to read all the posts on here, but hope everyone is having a great week.

It happened! We closed on our home in Utah today.....I can't believe it, finally.
We got tons of stuff done today, gas and power on, and did some things on the house, changed filters, touched up paint etc.

Tomorrow night my kids are coming down from northern Utah and we are having a big slumber party.

Dogmom.......We met your friends today that live in Coral Canyon. I called her and she and hubby happened to be in Walmart so we met. It's fun to meet the people of CD. They are really nice and they miss you and your husband.

Hey Painter, that was our problem. we were priced at what people were not looking at and (this was last summer) 3 realtors told us dropping the price wouldnt help, unless we had dropped 150k. dropping 25k might be enough, but then again, once you drop you cant go back up. so if there arent any buyers at your new price, it wont help. on that note, we havent had the 2nd mtg with that realtor from last week. curious what price he'll suggest for us-where we were at or a lot lower.

So if nothing has sold and I am the lowest now why should I drop another 25K? If we were having showings and no offers then I would say price is the problem but if no one is looking and nothing has sold then is it the price? Opinions please!

If there are no buyers out there, then dropping the price wont do anything. If your getting showings and no offers, then that may be a different story. If there has been nothing that has sold in 6 months, then your price is not the problem, the market is.

thanks all, see that is what I am looking at. We have had 3 couples actually come and look, 2 made contracts that fell through at the last few days before closing. It appraised, inspections passed with flying colors, ect. it was the money they didn't come through with. My thoughts are leave it alone, go on 30 day extenstions and see. If no one has sold and no one is looking and I am the lowest already why should I drop 25k again. I said get some one here and then we will argue about the price. He talked to 3 other agents that we are competing with and they told him we were priced right, they didn't have any activity here either. soooo...... I am not gonna lower YET.

I'm with you Painter, leave it alone and see what happens..sounds like you are priced right, yeah if you get a buyer then you can negotiate price then..but gotta get that offer..it will happen, its almost spring..buyers will be out looking, flowers will bloom, yes i think everyone is going to sell this year, at least I am trying to think positive and say lots of prayers!

I don't think it's the price if you aren't even getting showings. 25K is alot to drop! Stay where you are at!
