I’ve got the house blues today. My house has been on the marketing since July of 2007. I’ve had a lot of people looking but so far no offers. I have made several price reductions to date. It’s a great house in Irvington but thus far nothing. To make the situation worse I still have to take care of the yard and house. I go over every few weeks and clean up the yard. I hate doing yard work but it has to look nice and clean for any perspective buyers. The market continues to worsen with no end in sight. People are having a hard time getting loans, especially over 400k. The house is done, top to bottom. Two years ago it would have sold at full asking price in a matter of weeks rather then months. There are a total of 15 houses on my street along in Irvington for sale. It’s got me a bit bummed out but what can you do. I’ve fired my old agent and hired someone who is a bit more aggressive. I should have done it 6 months ago. I think my house was priced too high for the market.
