Once your home is listed, be sure to
ask for feedback from prospective buyers as this will help you decided
what, if any, additional steps you need to take to position your house
for a quick sale. Don't be discouraged if you don't see a great
deal of activity during the first week or two as we are currently
experiencing a buyers market where there are many more homes for sale on
the Brevard County MLS than there are buyers looking to purchase.
However, if you only get one or two homebuyers previewing your home
during the first two weeks, it's probably a sign that the asking price
should be reduced. The longer your house sits on the market, the
less attractive it seems to home buyers.
