If the asking price is reasonable to the market it should sell quickly these days.
A home 4 doors down listed with sign MLS went up for sale on A Monday. We signed our paperwork next day. Our sign didn’t go on the house for 3 days, because we wanted to speak to our long term tenant in person.

Homes are exactly the same, lot included, except color of outside, up grades the same, bond not paid. Our home $8,000 more than MLS. Day after the sign went up on our home sold little more than asking price.

Day before our closing we stopped at our home to get gate cards, and ID. Other home was having it 7th open house so we stopped in. Same wear, same everything. At 5 weeks dropped price $5,000. Still listed going on 8 weeks plus.

That’s our comparison with MLS and TV. This is our second home sold, same story for both
