Good catches. I make this observation about listing residential sales on craigslist: I see it a bit in the markets I monitor. Why would any self-respecting ‘realtor’ think that listing on craigslist would increase the appeal, audience for or transparency of the listing? I can think of two reasons: desperation - nothing else is working, no one is responding to the MLS listing, no one is coming to the open houses, the print media produce no results, no one wants to make an offer; and, the ‘what the heck’ school of marketing - it’s free, why not try it, what is there to lose. Either way, it is not much of a marketplace for real estate. BUT, and I capitalize that word because it is a big but, I sold one of my vacant land holdings several years ago through craigslist. Really? Yup. Realtors had been unable to sell my dog; I decided to go it alone, put a lowball price on it and put it on craigslist. Viola! It sold two weeks later. No fuss, no muss, no bother. No commission; no fees. Did I make money? Are you nuts? I lost my shirt, but I got out and moved on. So there you go. In this brave new world of the internet, even craigslist can move properties if you are desperate or have nothing to lose. RFM |
