Re: How long before a property goes stale 28Jul 12, 2010 6:17 pm snshami Hi Everyone, we have relisted it. Thanks to everyone's advice we have decluttered and had some of the feature walls changed to a more neutral colour. We also fired the other agent and hired a really good team this time. Its only been on the market three days and we have already had more interest than the other agents had in two weeks. Two of the buyers that came through with Ray White came by for a second look. Both told this agent that the Ray White people were very rude and spoke down to them, which made them not want to got with them at all. I can see that Ray White seems to have lost most of their listings in the area. Anyway we are now with Jason who are specialists for the area. Here is the listing. Please let me know if it is an improvement. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-h ... -106669683 Anyway fingers crossed we are very hopeful this time around. Absolutely fantastic job snshami!! House looks beautiful. Re: How long before a property goes stale 29Jul 12, 2010 7:51 pm Wow! what a difference. Well done and I hope you get the results you desire. You demonstrated a willingness to do what needed to be done which showed some real gutsiness. Handover February 2011 Happy with our home Re: How long before a property goes stale 30Jul 12, 2010 8:34 pm Thanks for your kind comments. I must admit it was hard to do it and continues to be hard because we have a lot of our stuff in the garage such as our exercise equipment and piano etc. Anyways I am very hopeful. What does everyone think about the effect a looming election will have. Re: How long before a property goes stale 31Jul 13, 2010 3:20 pm WOW, I'd buy it if I was so inclined to live in that area (and state) and had the money. GORGEOUS GORGEOUS HOME!! How the hell did I become a senior member!? 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.
