We're now in month 2....

So today was the beginning of the 2nd month of selling our home.  The statistics say that it takes on average 90 days to sell in this area, although it seems as though nothing much is "moving" at the moment.

Onwards and upwards...

It was a beautiful sunny day today and we had 8 (maybe 9) groups show up to inspect the house.  I say maybe 9 because a car pulled up after we'd started to shut up the house but she (or he) pulled away before Ilana got down the street to invite her (him) inside.

Technically it was only 7 though, because the 8th couple got out of the car and a short way along the path, and then decided "we don't want to do this every day" so they left.

I think there were a few people worth following up today - one couple asked me to email a copy of the contract (done) and our next door neighbour (renting) was raving about it...

The theory seemed to work with the number of people who showed up.  When I check the "hits" this afternoon after the inspection it was just over 300 so that's the number we'll work from and continue this test next week.

We're getting a bit tired of tidying up each week but at least it's only once a week now.  The up side is that our laundry is up to date and the house is never *too messy*.  But it's still a pain - no matter though the pain would still be here if we were selling with an agent cause we'd still have to tidy up - so I'm not yet convinced that an agent is the way to go.... but then again we don't have a "sold" sign up either.

I went to look at a house today and was the only person there and from the look of the agent's list the only one who'd shown up with 15 mins left to go - at least people are still showing up to look at our place.  When that stops I think I'm going to worry some... Otherwise it's just a matter of time.

Let's see what this week brings!
