Home sellers are now resorting to desperate tactics to sell their homes, from Smudging to Voodoo!! Watch the video!:

 

While there are no statistics to show how successful these measures are, I suspect more traditional approaches when taken seriously, are ultimately the reason that a home sells. ie. Price, condition of home and its showing appeal, availability for showings, etc.

Oh, and one more thing. It has become increasingly more difficult for real estate agents to schedule showing appointments. So many real estate agents now have become "part time" and it can take two or three days to get a call back when I call for showing appointments. Of course the home owners have no idea that their home doesn't get shown because of poor response from the listing agent who may be working full time as a barista in a coffee shop without them knowing. With so many homes on the market, when calling to schedule showing appointments, often times I just have to move on to other homes to show when I can actually speak to the listing agent to schedule the showing appointment!
