Here in Fla my agent is really against submitting but has said repeatedly that they will do it. They are just clear that it could take up to 6 mos. (sometimes more sometimes less) and at the end you may end up disappointed. That is sometimes they are priced to solicit as many bids as possible. So basically I’ve avoid all short sale listed homes and ironically of the houses we liked most was a short.
Frankly I have toured some really nice houses that just sit, so the market is strange here. On the one hand a good property moves but at the same time I’ve seen what looks like exceptional houses not sell. Sure the price is too high, but I can’t see why some of the others end up selling. I should probably request a list of homes sold?
