I know it's not us... we're not the reason all of our neighbors are moving away. But, we may be the reason none of them have sold their houses. Or, maybe it's more accurate to say that they all are each others' reasons their houses have not yet sold.
Or... maybe it's the snow plow guy who keeps piling up the snow in the middle of our cul-de-sac.
Say you're looking to buy a house and you come into our neighborhood. You see four houses on the cul-de-sac, and three of them have for sale signs in the front yard.
Do you think:
a) Hmmmm... wonder what's wrong with those people in the house that's not for sale. They must really be trouble.
b) With all of these houses for sale, something must be wrong with this neighborhood.
c) Wow, that's a huge pile of snow in the middle of this cul-de-sac. I don't blame these people for wanting to move.
The real reasons are none of the above. One neighbor recently married and wants a different home with her new hubby. Another neighbor finally found the perfect house on the perfect acreage in the country. And, the third... we'll not sure about them. But, that third house is so desperate to sell that they're offering the buyer a new car with purchase of their house. Seems like it would make more sense to lower the asking price of the house.
