Right after they opened Fenney, we decided to downsize because of a new purchase overseas making us snowbirds. We listed with the TV agent we had used to buy. I was leery because of his reluctance to show us resales initially, but he gave us a good sales pitch on resales.
We signed the listing. The house never hit the market and was sold in less than 24 hours for mucho over the asking price. More than one offer over asking.
I think we were in the right place at the right time. Fenney was brand new, with no bridges or town square, so the agents were pushing resales, and people wanted to be in the thick of things.. I believe that has changed now.
So perhaps it makes a difference where you are and when you want to sell. Everyone's situation is different, and anecdotal doesn't count for much IMO.

Sold November and December, 2016, 2020, 2021.
Our agent shows us houses in our general guidelines. The one he thought we would love we didn’t, the one he was positive it was a NO, we bought. Guessing our relationship is little different. Never feel we are wasting each other’s time, or that either of us are mind readers
