Anyone doing a short sale and getting no interest in your house?

Posted

Hi all. Well we are living in Florida near Jacksonville and we are having to do a short sale on our house. It is valued at 50,000 less than what we paid for it a couple years ago. We are now selling it for 145,000 which is what it has been appraised for. We have to move because my husband is in the military.. So we are hoping to be able to find a buyer and get a short sale approved so we can both move next summer. We have had our house on the market for over a month now and have had absolutely no interest in it. I really do think this is because its a short sale and most people dont want to have to wait. What I am hearing is that real estate investors are the only ones who are willing to wait on a short sale.. So my question is, how do we get the investors interested in our house? Or is there a way to do this? I just feel like this might be the only way we are going to sell this house.. Are most real estate investors mainly looking for foreclosures instead of short sales?

By the way, our house is a 2 story , 2000 sq ft home, outside of Jacksonville FL.. We have made quite a few upgrades like tile floors, sprinkler system and a big backyard, ceiling fans, new light fixtures, new paint... It is in very good condition.

Anyway, Im not sure if anyone can help me here, but just thought Id see if any of you have any advice.

Thanks!!

Jennifer
