When a listing just sit there with no reduction and no sale

Every house that has been for sale in the last five or six years is still available to view.

Must be a lot of masochists about!

They're probably the most slobby ones who can't be bothered to tidy up or keep it clean, if they are still for sale after all that time.

mmm NO.... lol. Your showing them around the house. They are not there to look in every nook and cranny.


Unsure what your buyers are doing. Any prospective buyers we have had just look around the house (escorted). They don't move things or look inside cupboards lol


Why would it be in short notice. same day is short notice. not next day.

Sellers want to look in cupboards, the loo etc. I suppose if someone is a slob, it's only expected that their home takes years to sell.

Buyers tend to prefer show homes, which is why professionals do it that way. It's no surprise a house takes 4 years to sell, if the seller is a bit of a slob. .

Yes ….buyers are not the smartest :rotfl:


Strange views on price and how a seller lives there life lol


Your not starting a relationship with the seller, you are buying there house lol

A seller showing a diirty, slobby, over priced home to buyers would no doubt put them off. But I suppose thats often part of the reason their homes take so long to sell.

So …… Not only do you want a house well under the valuation you want one that's a show home and is spotless.


And also a bit presumptuous to also assume and house that's on the market for 4 years is dirty and slobby.

No. I'm talking about what buyers in general want. It's no surprise that dirty, slobby homes that are priced much higher than others often take many years to sell in a stagnant market. But I suppose those sellers have nobody to blame but themselves and their own laziness.

Your assumptions about people you don't know, you never met are really weird.

And you are on the thread now, so perhaps increase your dose of Risperidone to 10mg.

Had to look up what Risperidone is, you on the other hand, clearly know about "antipsychotic medication" why am I not surprised . .

You'd be surprised what some do.

My first viewers DID check the loo. I, personally, DO check inside about half the kitchen cupboards to see what "surprises" are in there - some are built-in appliances, some aren't openers at all, some are corner "glory holes"... I want to see/know how many are actually cupboards and how many are filled with built-in things I have no need/wish for.

The shortest notice I had was 2 hours.

In part, it depends on two things:

1/ whether you already possess a "place for everything" so you can put everything in its place. For those with less money things are a little less "tidy" and nice looking. More things are wedged where they fit/are handy to get at to use.

2/ whether you do live in your house how the photos show - or whether a viewing involves things such as removing nets from windows, tucking curtains into a different position, packing away a footstool and PC setup, making sure the washing up is done/dried/put away (for those without dishwashers), swapping the front door mat over (from grubby one you use daily to newly bought one for viewings), removing your usual bath towel and putting out a new one And, of course, every viewing needs a quick dash round with the vacuum, sinks/loos cleaned/refreshed, worktops wiped down, sink/drainer cleaned/polished, bins removed, washing up liquid/sponge out of sight under the sink...
