House next door to us had 3 showings before it went on market. The second family that looked at it were the buyers. They had already put in an offer before it opened but it still went on market.

Re: The Real Estate Thread: Buying/Selling/Tips/News
I looked into this… I guess one theory is the sellers can use the showings to find serious buyers and possibly reveal true market value of the home. But unless one of the buyers in this phase offers the moon, why wouldn’t you go to market and attempt to get a best and final? Maybe that’s what normally happens, I dunno.
What’s your strategy, Doug?

no strategy...the first couple loved it and are interested but to my unknowing the neighbors next door sold and its becoming a tear down and most likely turned into a modern duplex because of the lot..they're worried about construction noise...he has a couple more showings this weekendspike wrote:I looked into this… I guess one theory is the sellers can use the showings to find serious buyers and possibly reveal true market value of the home.

a number of people interested..our renter will be moving out at the end of the month..we'll fly down and basically clear the place out the first week of October..he said it will go fast once its actually on the MLS..sounds like a lot of work but we get to go back and eat the poke and birria tacos that we miss so much...

Constant?jackoman wrote:Doug’s repeated trips and Bammer’s constant market updates sound all too familiar. It really highlights how dynamic and often frustrating the real estate market can be, whether you’re buying or selling.
I’ve seen similar scenarios where a perfect house slips through a buyer’s fingers after multiple trips or discussions, just like Doug’s experience. And market peculiarities in places like Seattle can indeed seem like a broken record but are so crucial for making informed decisions.
