What to do next

Sam and I were talking about the house sale and decided to talk to Sarah regarding what we should do about it. Our impression is that everyone that sees the house loves it, but they have problems with the street, neighborhood or Webster taxes. The house has been for sale for over two months now and we've had very few people come through. We are thinking about taking it off the market and trying again early next year at prime buying season (we seem to have luck in February). Maybe we were just a couple of months too late getting it on the market.

Sarah thinks we could sell it by the end of October, but, in order to do so, we should likely reduce the price. She suggested $549,000 for psychological reasons, i.e., just under $550,000. Sam does not want to reduce the price. There are many reasons for us not to want to move right now, start of school year, moving in the Winter, having nowhere to go right now....

I think we will try to meet with Sarah this week, have an Open House this weekend, and then take off the market if there is no interest at that time
