I put my house on the market for top $$ – I’m going to give it a few weeks. If I don’t get solid offers by Aug 1 I’ll place it back on the market for rent.[/quote]

Why? If you don’t get “top $$” then it’s not worth that.
Do you see some great appreciation in the future?

This place next to where I used to live was on the market for 515k in 2006. Owner got greedy back then and now will get less than that 515k a DECADE later. And this during another mini bubble.

I don’t see much appreciation in the next year or two. I’m looking for top dollar for these reasons:

1. I want the realtor to work hard to get top $$

2. It’s a commodity house -> reasonably priced house on a very quiet street/nice neighborhood 100 yards or so from a highly ranked elem school.

It’s move in ready, quick escrow.

I’m even going to ask for an appraisal waiver addendum when I get offers.

I’m asking 5k over the zillow zestimate.
