builder built a house, ran out of money, still on the market after a year, has to be losing his arse i guess

I don't understand why you people in the market don't take advantage of homes sitting on the market for a long time and get creative with an offer.
Lower offer...
Closing cost concessions...
Interest rate buy down...
Quicker close...

47 days. That was in 2008.
Staging a home properly makes a huuuuuuuggggge difference in how long it takes to sell. Every other home I've sold has gone under contract in less than 10 days.

Sub 250K, was my first home/starter home I bought when I was 22. It's a nice home with very minimal items to fix (less than $1000 of items). I'm just not living in that area anymore and honestly don't have time to work on it between everything else I have going on. Lol, even throwing in a 2 year old stainless dual door fridge/pull out freezer combo, washer dryer, and sectional.
Thought I made a pretty good deal for whoever buys it. At this point I just want to break even and get rid of it.

I bought my current home in 2011. It had sat vacant and for sale for 4 years before I bought it. Its an older home but will always have maintenance issues (nothing major). Eventually bought it for 1/2 of what it was originally listed for.
I love my home, glad I bought it, but will probably not ever sell it because I'm sure I'll have the same issues selling as previous owner...such a unique older home it isn't the "perfect" home people seem to want to buy, let not a dump that a flipper would want to buy

Opposite story, while my FIL was hammering his For Sale By Owner sign in his yard, a guy drove up, looked the house over and bought it.
My FIL had a neighbor look over the fence one day in his backyard and ask if he was interested in selling his house because he had a buddy that was moving to Louisiana from Texas. It was a pure coincidence that my FIL had just got a job about 1.5-2 hours away, so they ended up selling their house before they ever so much as put a sign in their yard.

You should go buy it. Pay cash. It’s just pocket change for you, right? Only store your shoe collection in that house.
Douche.

Two years. Multiple realtors, taking breaks from thanksgiving to new years. Probably averaged 2.5 showings a month. High six figures. Gave up in 2018.
Put it back on the market in 22, and it took about five months with two showings a month. The Asian influx meant the number one show stopper was fung sheui bullshite.

Reading is hard, sorry.
We broke even on the house, I had to pay commission with check.
We lost all our principle. The house sold for $100k less than we paid.
Living for 2 years ate thru our savings.
