Welcome to Front Porch LLC

Front Porch is a real estate company that wants you to know stuff. Really.
Previous Post: I just read The New York Times article on fair housing, can my broker really not tell me whether a listing is in P.S. 234?   Next Post: A $3 Million “real house” just went on sale in Second Life. How can I use the info to learn to stage my real house?

My house is not selling. Should I pull it from the market and re-list in 8 weeks?

There are really two steps to selling: getting traffic, and getting bids.

If you’re not getting traffic, your price is probably too high and it’s scaring shoppers off. So consider staying on the market and lowering your price. You might also want to consider getting new, professional photos of your house taken, particularly if you’re using photos that you or your realtor took. Buyers spend so much time on the Web now, it makes a big difference to have great photos.

If you’re not getting bids, your staging is wrong, and clutter and/or some house defect is scaring potential buyers away. Have your agent talk to the agents of a couple of the tire-kickers to suss out what the problem is. Then pull the house, solve the problem and stage it, and re-market.
