You will need to offer at least 2.5% to the buyers agent if you expect to get the property shown regularly. Expect to pay 1% to a listing agent for minimal to no services beyond the 3 P’s (put it in the MLS, put a sign in the ground and pray). For 1.5 to 2% you should get a decent level of service. For the major brokerages expect to pay 2.5%.

I would stay away from the flat fee guys. This is a really tough market as you know. Decent agents took 4% last time because it was easy and they knew they would get paid quikly. This time around it will be harder, you will need a better agent and I’d focus more on getting the right help than the cheapest help. 1% is $15,000. Your house is probably losing that much value every 1 to 2 weeks. The right agent who gets your house sold quickly at a fair market price is worth paying for.

Thats not Village Park (which is north of Encinitas Blvd) it’s call Encninitas Estates. Many houses there have been in rough shape for many many years and that is not necessarily a sign of a looming foreclosure (though it could be). The majority of homes in that community are long time owners that paid very low prices 20+ years ago and simply dont have the money or interest in fixing up their homes. Homes there have tradtionally been a bit tougher to sell because of the hodge podge conditions you find from home to home as well as the less than stellar construction. My suspicion is most of the neighbors dotn care as they typically owe very little on their homes and are more worried about the status of their social security checks than their home values.

Hadnt seen it but just checked it out. Price is ridiculous and will likely get bid up over 500K w/o much trouble.

Someone took at Meadowridge townhome (92009 3/2.5 1500 sq ft 2 car) and listed it at 260K which is a 2001 price. They got a couple dozen offers and it quickly got bid up well over 300K and close to retail. I had a strong buyer who wrote an offer but we bailed as soon as we saw their game.

Corte Al fresco still on the market after 3 weeks. Is this a harbinger or ust seasonal slowness? I thought it would be long gone by now.
