In the MLS, new listings are flagged and so are price reductions. So and realtors acting as a buyers agent should be getting both when searching the MLS. And remember that the ultimate buyers for your house can come along at any time. As for the yard issue, the flyers and web pages that your realtor has prepared should include a photo showing it in all its glory.

But the bottom line is the pricing. If your home is not priced near the bottom 25% of comps, your house is merely selling others which are priced thusly.

We sold our house last year in a poor market in one day. Our good fortune was a combination of good pricing and having the “right” family in the market. Sure, we may have gotten a bit more for the house but that was not worth the stress of having two properties as we were in the process of building our dream retirement home in Tennessee which we should be closing on in about a month.
