Seriously. Someone Buy Me! I'm a New Home in Lakewood

I've been on the market since August of 2005. Yeah. You read that right. I've been on the market roughly 2 years and 5 months. That's like 880 days if my math is correct. I started out asking $1,072,000 and now I'm down all the way to $939,000. Wow. Someone please buy me.

My notes: The builder is Spirit River custom homes which is owned by Michael Campbell (or at least partly owned by him I believe) who is a great guy and Realtor. He's actually a past president of our local real estate association so he knows how to sell real estate. I haven't seen the inside of this house but I'm getting quite curious as to what is scaring buyers so much from making offers. No matter what the issue is, the market is telling this house it's not worth the asking price. Sellers take note. This is one of the risks of overpricing in the beginning of a listing period.

RE: Buy Me. Please! I'm in Lakewood Heights

DREB reader and public relations guru Cooper Smith offered the following comment about this poor listing I recently featured that has been on the market for-ever.

It's because you're ugly and nobody wants to live in an ugly house. It's okay to rent one -- that's like dating with no threat of marriage.

Love it!

Buy Me. Please! I'm in Preston Hollow

I was completed around January 2006 and have yet to find a buyer. I was originally listed in the MLS in January 2006 for $1.8 million for 10 months and no one wanted me. What's weird is that I was relisted after that for $1.975 million. Now I'm currently for sale for $1.895 million. So let me get this straight. No one wanted to pay $1.8 million for me in 2006 but they'll pay $1.975 million 10 months later? My builder should check out Jeff's post about seller greed. Oh, and someone please buy me!

Buy Me. Please! I'm in Lakewood Heights

I've been on the market since November of 2006. Back then my builder thought I was worth $675,000. Now I'm currently priced at $599,900. But what's weird is that someone leased me on Christmas Eve for $3,300/month but yet I'm still for sale. Can someone tell me what's going on?
