Need Advice, house on market for sale, no showings!
Hello All:
I need your advice, I am located in North West Fort Worth, TX. I put my house for sale a month ago (late October) and there was no showings so far, the house fairly priced and it is in a great condition inside and outside. with a good neighborhood (2010 when it was established). My realtor told me to re-evaluate later in December.
I haven't done rental before, so I was thinking if the house doesn't sell, what about considering putting it for rent? or just keep it on the market until it sells? my plan is to leave it on the market until Late January then try to put it for rent but the more I am thinking about it now, it could take also another two or three months to even get a tenant as I see in other houses for rent in the area.
The house is two story home with laminate flooring all through the house except the bathrooms and kitchens, I have been taking a very good care of it without any scratches so my concern about renting it is if the floor gets damaged and I have to redo it all over before putting it back on the market along with do HVAC repairs (It is 12 years old system and running great but I am sure in the next few years will need some care in Texas heat).
Currently, I live like 12 miles away from this house, Any thoughts would be appreciate it. Thanks.

It’s overpriced for the given market. Without a doubt. What’s the address though so we can look further?
