Need help selling house
Hello, I am new to the forum and am looking for some advice in selling my house. My house is currently listed on MLS. It was listed a week ago and my agent and I decided to list it for a price just under the comps in my neighborhood. After 4 days we had zero showing, so I had my agent drop the price 6%. we did an open house the following day (Sunday) and only had 1 couple show. I am realizing how slow the market is getting and it gets me worried.
A little background: I offered on a new house and the seller accepted it. The new house is very much my forever home and I am very motivated to move in. The sale is contingent on me selling my current home and I have about 30 more days to get it under contract. I want to clarify that, while it would be nice to cash out as much equity as possible, I am not treating this transaction as an investment, I am treating it as a quality of life change which I value highly.
any advice would be appreciated and I can supply more info as needed.
