Hi Fritzy nice to see your post. Hope your house is sold soon. Crossing fingers. Sounds like you are keeping busy. I am having fun picturing Bobby at the restaurant. Must be a great place for a dog

Thanks Liv! Many of the restaurants in my area will allow dogs in patio areas. There is a place at the coast that even has a doggie menu! I remember ordering Bobby a prime rib bone and he left my friends and me alone while we a!l ate!

I hope the house sells soon. It would be nice to go to a restaurant that allows pets.

Hoping you get a buyer soon! Will you be able to get a house in Oregon before your house closes if it sells soon?

Thanks Buenita and Kat! Crossing my fingers it sells soon - happy that at least the house was shown twice today.

Thanks Morticia! I didn't take Bobby out to eat today because I got so hungry early in the day and brought lunch home before people came to see the house. But I did take him to the park for a walk.

Thanks Diana! I sent you a PM about a week ago. I have to sell this house before I can buy one in Oregon because I need to make a big down payment.

Do you think it is a pricing issue? We are getting ready to list MIL’s house next week and have been told the market will tell us in the first two weeks if we are overpriced. It’s a tough line, not wanting to miss out on potential profit but wanting it to sell quickly so it doesnt become aged. Best wishes. It just takes one. Hoping your one is here soon.

YOH, at this time I don't think it's a pricing issue. No one is looking at it! Most of the buyers in my neighborhood are buying 2nd homes or are retiring here and coming from out of the area so maybe weekends are when people will look at it. My realtor is probably the top agent in the neighborhood and tends to price things conservatively. I just went with the price she recommended. But we'll see.

What’s realtor saying about it/. What are average DOM in that area? What an unsettling feeling for you. And the furry family also.

I recall you mentioned you negotiated for a lower commission rate that is split between both realtors. If that’s the case raise it to the norm. Buyers realtors will have an equal incentive to show your home to others in the market.

YOH, the average days on market is around 35. The number of homes listed has nearly doubled though in the past 2 or 3 weeks so there is more competition

Thanks Honeebuns - I have been wondering about the commission. While my agent may be fine with .5 - 1% reduction, the buyer's agent might not be. But I personally find homes on realtor.com I want to see in Oregon and take the list to my agent there. There is an issue with realtor.com and another site not showing my house in the neighborhood I live in. It shows under a search for the city,but not the gated community I live in. My realtor had been working with the sites and said they are using a map that isn't accurate. That's something they haven't been able to fix. That is probably a bigger deal than the commission but I'll talk to my agent about the commission. When I was a realtor, many years ago, I would still offer the buyer's agent the full amount and take the 1% drop myself instead of splitting it.
