No buyers yet

 Maybe it is the economy or factor X. I thought that the house would sell within a few days with multiple offers. But only one offer and many lookers. I would love some feedback. But my hunch is all the old over bearing furniture that we had to leave in the house makes it look as if Gingers ghost is still living there. The house does need a new roof, new main heater, some exterior paint and the carpets need cleaning. But the location is probably the best you could get in the area. I know because I lived across the road for 15 years. Plus there is a two story building that is unfinished, that could be rented. Doug and I plan to go back up there in a week or two. First we need an estate sale to take place. We have arranged for a professional to do that for us. Then if any of the furniture is left we will remove it and reassess the situation.

  1. I can never understand why people cannot see past what is in a room (e.g. old furniture) or not their colour scheme, or old carpets. The position of the house is paramount as you can't change that. Everything else you can change! The fact it needs a new roof and heater will put some people off - the sort who want a no-problems home - but that should surely be reflected in the asking price anyway. Good luck and hope someone falls in love with it soon.

    1. I know ... anyway the furniture will be out after a while and we are fortunate that we are in no hurry to sell.
