Our house is officially on the market after 9 years. Funny enough we lived in our previous house for exactly 9 years as well. We already have an open house scheduled for 12:30-2 tomorrow and have received 5 showing requests for the window beforehand already this morning.
When is the last time you sold a house? Do you think you'll ever sell the house you currently own? Luckily this is the last time we'll ever sell a house.
Sold our first 23 years ago….dabbled in selling about 10 years ago but the agent wasn’t listening to our thoughts and the house we wanted had another unreasonable agent.
We’ll likely never leave
Just took a contract on our house last week. This is the fifth house I’ve sold (moved for job several times).
This one is not for a job and we’re moving to a new build a mile away, so the pace is slow in comparison to other moves.
What I never get used to is the volumes of things that require your signature. You start out reading carefully. But it eventually beats you down and you end up signing whatever’s put in front of you and hoping the universe treats your right.
Showing requests just keep coming. If we don’t get an offer this weekend I’ll be surprised.
I can't sell my house. It's family-kept and the paperwork that hands the house and property to one of my nieces is already filed. She is already well aware that she can't sell it, either. If she tries, the whole thing goes to another niece.
Justin….what part of Cincy are you in?
Sold a house in 2020 2021 2025. The house we are in now we will probably spend the next 5-7 years unless a job requires a move before then.
I'm actually wondering if I will ever buy a house. :/

Madisonville. Near Mariemont.
We got our first offer at $5k over listing price.
Congratulations hopefully many more to come

How did you determine your selling price?
If it’s already at $35000 over….you’ll get $45,000 over
Our agents advice was to price it on the lower end of the market and hopefully have a lot of early interest. In that scenario you likely get several competing offers and most will offer over listing. We all kinda thought $15k over would be where we would likely land.
Ah what the hell, here is our listing. Feel free to judge our decor.

I like the agents strategy…ours were just greedy.

Nice place…solid looking neighborhood.
May I ask how long ago you bought this place and was it under $200,000 then?
Not surprised you are getting $350,000 offers in Cincy, probably a $269,000 in podunk southern Ohio. I feel before Covid that place in southern Ohio was $179,000..,,so there I’m guessing $239,000 circa 2019
We paid $160k 9 years ago. We’ve put a bit of money into it, mostly the basement and backyard. I’ll try to find the pictures from when we bought.
Ended up getting a total of 5 offers. The $350k was the best, we just signed the paperwork. We're officially pending.

The realtor should use your experience as a testimonial for their business as pain free and easy and beneficial it was

We picked her because we got several post cards from her over the last couple years. My wife said we should be the house on the next postcard she sends out.
