[QUOTE="VegasMichael, post: 16760865, member: 105950"] Respectfully, this is how it went down and why I did what I did. My house was listed on MLS last Monday morning as a "Coming Soon" property. Over 200 agents looked at the listing but none made any appointments to come see it. It then went active very late Wednesday night. The following day we received one cash offer and no requests to come see it. I told my agent to wait until mid-Friday afternoon and if nothing else happens take the deal. He did. Now here's why I decided that. 1. The house down the street from me sold on 3/31 for $181 a sq ft. 2. The house behind me was for sale for two months and finally sold on 1/27 for $203 a sq ft. It was then flipped and put up for sale on 4/1 and is still sitting there. They've had two open houses and one price drop but nothing. It's been on the market more than two weeks now. 3. There are several homes in my zip code that are larger and newer but selling for less per sq ft. then I was offered. So that leads me to #4. 4. My cash offer was for $239 a sq ft. More than anything else in my neighborhood over the past 6 months. And since I'm scared of this crazy market and need to be out of Vegas by the end of next month I took the offer. One of the drawbacks of my neighborhood is that there are two HOA's. One for the neighborhood, one for the whole community. That's a turn-off to a lot of people. Also, I am way out in the western part of Vegas, one of the last neighborhoods before you hit the barren desert. That turns people off as well. Small windfall you say? Perhaps, but I paid $81 a sq ft. back in 2011 and nearly tripled my money selling for $239 a sq ft. I'm sorry you think I'm dumb for what I did but I do what's in my comfort zone as well as my time frame. [/QUOTE]
