Misery loves company. Only I'm not actually sitting in my beautiful condo (on the market since September 2006), but rather in Canada where I've relocated for a new job. Now I am the frustrated owner of what is essentially an incredibly expensive vacation retreat that I get to visit once a month for a few days when I fly back home. Instead of going out and enjoying the area while home, I'm left to swiffer floors, buy chocolate chip cookie dough for open houses, and wave hi to the on-site managers of my condo building. Now I've lowered my asking price to the point where I'll lose a minimum of $20k after fees and commissions if it does ever sell. Our latest tactic is re-listing the place to see if any new interest is generated. There has been some interest (in spurts, like yours) and feedback has been excellent… I've been told by nearly everyone who has looked that I have the best unit for sale in the building. At this point it'd help my psyche just to get any offer, even a low-ball. By the way, if you get sick of baking cookies for visitors here's another way to entice their senses: Generously sprinkle some cinnamon on a baking tray and put in the oven on low for a few minutes. Turn off the oven leaving the tray in there and then take off for your "showing escape". The house will smell like fresh baked apple pie and no one will track crumbs through the house while munching on cookies. Instead they can eat one of the hershey kisses you have in a candy dish next to the copies of listings and sellers disclosure. Best of luck! Monica (owner of the worst condo in Minnetonka)
