HI Barbara
My home has been on the market for 4 months not one offer. It was priced by our broker. She has had open houses. I believe she has marketed it properly? It has been on the front cover of Home & Land for the month of September. It's a very private one level ranch in Hamilton , Ma the broker is Janet Hilton a Remax office. Could you please check it out on the web and tell me what you think. It's in show condition. Been cleaned, decluttered, no personal items around . I believe in perfect show condition. Please HELP

We are relocating in June and leaving Florida for good.  Our home has been on the market for about 1 year with only 2 showings.  (Listed with 2nd realtor, major real estate company).  With current market conditions, we owe more than it is now worth and have disclosed that it is a SHORT SALE property.  We have found that buyers do not want to view SHORT SALE houses because they take too long to close and the bank may not accept the offer negotiated between buyer and seller.  We have asked the bank to 'pre approve' us for a short sale, but they don't do that. Thus, only 2 showings in a year.  The house is in perfect condition (I have a degree in Interior Design and have renovated 8 other houses we've lived in for profit, so it's the market and not the house).  We continually drop the price every two weeks.  We are extremely competitively priced and have done everything we can think of to promote this property.  My realtor has worked her butt off trying to get this house sold.  We are vacating in June, and have issued a letter to the bank telling them that.  They have never replied.  We are now unable to continue our mortgage payment and we really don't care since we have to be in default anyway for the bank to consider a short sale.  Do you have ANY ideas on what to do?  We can't rent it out either, as rents have also dropped and the going rent wouldn't cover our first mortgage anyway.  We also have a second mortgage on it.   The Florida real estate market is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help!!!
My house has been on the market since November '07 in the Detroit metro area. We've only had a handful of showings. Because of the market, we owe more than what our house is probably worth.

We have to sell our house in Michigan because my husband was transfered and we now live in another state. We have a family member living in the house so it isn't empty. We can't afford to keep making the mortgage payments- we took out a loan in order to make the past 6 months of payments (yes I know- very stupid!! but we thought the house would sell because of the quality and we're not talking about an overpriced house).

I don't know what our options are and need some advice. Also, I think our realtor has really dropped the ball on this one- she doesn't seem too interested in working on our sale. The extent of what she does is to constantly ask us to lower the price, which we've done and can't go any lower. She seems to only want to sell at an absurdly low price which would put us in financial ruin.

My house has been on the market for about 12 months.  One of the many
creative ways I've considered is seller financing.  I'd like to know what others think about this option.  Please share any pitfalls, and ways to avoid them.

Update to our short sale house in Florida.  After dropping the price $5,000.00 a WEEK, we finally got a buyer.  It took 5 months to close!  That was this past August.  Our credit was slightly damaged, but not terrible.  The house is now worth much less than we sold it for....at least we got out Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   We now live happily in Tennessee.
