Subject: Advice Needed: Challenges in Selling Bellaire Home for Move to Long Island

[Rick Agrawal]

Hello Everyone,

 My family and I are in the process of making a move from Bellaire to Long Island, NY. The Bellaire market is a bit unpredictable; some homes sell super fast while others linger for months.

We have a lovely home in Bellaire, but it doesn’t have a pool which seems to be a popular feature around here. We've been working with a realtor, hosting open houses, staging, and even reducing the price, but nothing has clicked yet. It’s starting to get a bit frustrating.

We really need to sell our current home to move to New York. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated! On a side note, I’m gearing up for the real estate exam in NY, so I’m quite excited about this transition.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Houses are not selling in days or hours anymore. The time on market is a couple of months. If the house is 1mil+ which I am guessing since it is in Bellaire, TX, the higher priced houses take longer to sell in general. With the higher interest rates, it makes payments even higher.

I would brace for 4 to 6months to sell. If you really want to sell quick, DROP the price a bunch.
