Two said they would likely make an offer. (2 weeks have passed sine then)7 attended Agent's open house a week ago. 2 non-neighbors visited the public open house this past sunday.Feedback on the house:Positives: finishes, craftsmanship, neighborhood, large, priced rightNegatives: Funky layout (and I de-funked it quite a bit), high taxes (but awesome school district), Washer/dryer in garage (unusual here in the NE and no way to fix that with this house), low curb appeal (siding is unusual for around here and it's front is weird with the door coming into the "basement"), electric heat, no central A/CComments have been consistent in that the house is priced right, but the house just is not fit for them.I was hoping to get it under contract before we get into the HOT (no a/c) and SLOW months of July/Aug.Carrying costs are: $3,000/moShould I drop to 359k (or lower) or wait it out for it to get busy again in mid-September?

I now always replace laterals on multiunits when rehabbing.I may have a spectacular sewer cleaning contractor here, but they identified the issue, I then called my excavator in to open the hole, then I had my trusted concrete guy repair sidewalk and curb. 8' down and $4500 total.

-Landscaper/Gardner: Even with a zero-scaped yard, someone coming by every couple weeks to clean things up gives the home better curb appeal when guests arrive. 

The learning curb is steep here.

I have seen a number of multifamily properties on the market and you are right they don't have the curb appeal of the new builds happening on the fringe of Cheyenne.
