We were strongly thinking of taking it off the market for a couple of months. Our agent talked us out of it saying that the "spring" buyers start to come out in January already. I'm not sure if it is because of that, or historically low interest rates or our reduced price, but the activity on our house has definitely picked up. We get hit count statistics on our virtual tour web site and last week we had 100 hits which was considerably more than we ever had since we put the house on the market in early October.
However, all this traffic hasn't yet resulted in another offer. After our first offer fell through, we have become a bit calloused to the potential for a real buyer to show up. If this latest fury of activity doesn't result in an offer and a contract we plan to head down to TV and camp out in our place down there. It will be just our luck that as soon as we get down there an offer will come through and we'll have to scurry back to NJ to prepare for the move. Maybe that's what it will take to get this deal done.
