No offers on my house :( Help

[Sigmund Reboquio]

Hello guys, 

My second day here at BP and Im loving it!

Can you please give me some feedback as to why there were no offers on my house?

https://www.redfin.com/CA/Fremont/3019-Paine-Ct-94...

I know that most likely the answer is the price, but Id like to know more about how can I get a higher chance of getting an offer.

What do you think I still need to do in order to get offers? Is 17days bad already?

Any feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

thanks

 Ah yes...the agent!  Learn your market so you can tell the agent what to list the price at.  The Agent's #1 goal is to get the listing...so they have a tendency to promise the moon, and deliver a small star...which is what you should be listing it at in the first place.

The net result is you are going to be dropping your price a few more times before you get an offer...and that offer will probably be lower than you might have gotten had you listed the correct price from the start.  Why?  If you looked at a property that had to drop the price a number of times, what would your reaction be?

Look at the sold homes in the area that are within 10% of the sq ftg of your house and use those as your comps.  Now, to set your price, look at the date when these property listings were removed...not when it says they sold it, but when it was removed (the removal just before it says "sold").  Count the number days back to when the previous price changed to the sold price...and those are your days on market to sell...at the correct listing price.  The properties that have a short DOM this way, set your sale price based on those properties, and you'll sell much faster.
