Little Lady that is great news for your friend and that bodes well for you. I was showing homes today and I am becoming more and more convinced that this spring will outperform last spring. When you interview Realtors be wary for any gaurantees and such. I took a listing the other day from someone who was “gauranteed” that the house would sell in a fixed timeframe. When that did not happen the Realtor told her that the gaurantee was subject to a pricing recommendation that in her opinion was outlandish.
Again, when you price (or your Realtor) prices your home, make sure is priced based on comps that are accurate AND is priced commensurate with your need to sell quickly. Obviously the more eager (or desperate) you are to sell then the more aggressive your pricing should be. Not so if you are just testing things.
