Maybe sellers aren’t in a hurry or desperate to sell… I wouldn’t be.
Most sellers aren’t the average person on this forum. If the house is on the market, they want to sell it. Either they need to move and they don’t want to be landlords (it gets a bad rap), they can’t make payments, or they want to move up. Most listings are also by broker, and brokers want to earn a commission. Therefore, there’s pressure to sell.
