Yet another one.....

The realtor who looked at our house last week was bringing her clients to look at it on Thursday afternoon. I came home early, grabbed Ben who was sick, and we left everything looking perfect. They did not show and said they would be back on Friday morning. So, I ran around on Friday morning, cleaning up,putting the lights on, etc. Still no show. Mike got this from the realtor after he messaged her: I did take them to the house Mike, they just felt the neighborhood driving in was not for them. I am sorry - they just turned thumbs down because of the other houses on the street. Ben keeps asking why we bother when everyone hates the street, I tell him we might as well make the house look as good as we can.  Mike needs to seriously consider how he can address this before we list again in the Spring.

Moving in to November

The house officially came off the market on October 31.  We had an agent preview the house for out of town buyers on Friday.  She liked the house, was not sure about the neighbourhood (of course).  She is showing to her clients on Thursday.  Someone looked at the house yesterday, but they were not here long, so I doubt they are interested.
Mike said that everyone in the office has been shocked by how universal the dislike for the street has been.  It is so frustrating because we can do nothing about it.  I'm sure they hear comments similar to ours all the time though.  We do have the best house on the street by far and so it will always be hard to sell.  Also, I was concerned about the street/area when we bought.  The house was just so much better than any others we had seen.
We are going to continue to list the house with the agency, but it will not be listed officially on websites.  Our plan is to list again in the Spring and hope for more interest at peak selling time.
Since the listing has been removed, realtors are contacting us already about listing the house!!!!
