Snow, sleet, freezing rain, black ice, bags of salt, shovels, ice choppers. Constant clearing of driveways, stairs and cars. Gutters dammed with ice. This has been the month of January and so far, February. We are having another open house tomorrow. The realtor is coming in early to do some staging. We have to vacate for four hours. Someone has looked at our house every week throughout the winter. Some sellers in our area have given up and pulled their homes off the market. Just too much work keeping everything show ready and safe for walking. According to my realtor, other sellers don’t even seem to care if clients trudge through snow and ice to see their beautiful homes. Isn’t that a hoot? Welcome. Watch your step. In case you were wondering, not a chance this is my home.
I would imagine that some of those sellers are just plain depressed and exhausted. Some may even be getting to the point of walking away or perhaps just letting themselves be foreclosed on. It sounds absurd, but so, so many people are just psychologically spent by this recession that they don't even care that much.
ReplyDeleteThose are good points about being in a bad recession and I have heard about strategic foreclosures. I have felt that way in moments of frustration. Sometimes it seems hopeless, even if you are trying.
