Stale listing

Like A Loaf Of Bread…
A house that stays on the market too long without price changes or a reevaluation of marketing strategy goes stale...just like a loaf of bread. Most people only buy day old bread when they can get it at a drastic discount or are planning to make croutons. 
Sometimes, when pricing a house, a miscalculation can take place, either by the agent or the owner.  If your house has been on the market for 30 days and there have been no bona-fide offers or serious interest, it is quite possible, and more than likely probable, that the price is not correct. Sit down with your Realtor and re-examine the market, recent sales, other houses for sale, and those that have expired and not sold.  Are you in the ballpark or way out in left field?
Don’t be the day old bread...stale and crusty; be fresh and delicious!
