How Long Has That Home Been For Sale?

Have you ever driven by a home with a “for sale” sign and realized it had been on the market for as long as you can remember?

Well, they are out there. Unrealistic sellers with all the time in the world I suspect. The current record-holder in the MLS was listed in June 2007, so it’s approaching its ten year anniversary of being listed in the Tallahassee MLS.

Of course, you wouldn’t know some of these homes had been listed for as long as they have because the MLS can be manipulated by real estate agents.

What you see on websites is not necessarily “the real story” for each home, so make sure you work with a buyer’s agent who will research each property before you even bother to go see it.

You should be highly skeptical and concerned before buying a home that has been rejected by so many buyers that have come before you.
