I know nothing! Re: How long before a property goes stale 32Sep 14, 2010 11:14 am Hi, I just thought I'd post an update to our home selling saga. We did eventually end up selling. I think the sale date was early August. We got less than we had initially been quoted by the first real estate agent, in fact $50,000 less. This I believe had a lot to do with the fact that that agent had overquoted by a huge amount. When I look at the state of the market now I am glad we did not wait till a spring surge. It appears that this may not eventuate this year. We are now seeing lots of properties on the market far longer than ours. Anyway we sold it to buyers who are letting us rent it back off them while we build. So now we are building and waiting for our next shiny new house. Thanks to everyone who gave us advice. Some of the lessons we learned apart from the obvious about researching the real estate agent properly include always buying a house in a suburb close to the median. Our house was at least 40% over the median price for our suburb and that fact kept the price depressed. Others are of course decluttering and depersonalising the house as much as possible and finding a good agent. We ended up going with Mike Brown Vendor Advocates who were great and our real estate agent was Romeo Sassine from Jason Real Estate, he was absolutely brilliant.
