Sound familiar @dioworld? I think you followed pretty much everything that this article suggested and the results speak for themselves. Multiple offers and a good final, clean selling offer.

LUCK, each period thereās a set pool of buyers, if youāre lucky, then youāll have 1 or 2 crazy bidder out of the set of buyer will go crazy bidding for your house.
of course also have to consider the market trend as well.

See, I semi disagree. Look at what happened with your neighbor. Was he/she unlucky? We all make our luck to a certain extent. By doing all that you reasonably can or should do, the outcome was not surprising.
if you checked out his house, you will not make offer either. i feel haunted when going downstairs.

Exactly! Maybe he could have done a bit more to make the place pop. Maybe not possible, without major expense. Probably thought, oh in this market, everything sells, why bother? Well, guess what happened? Your pics and staging were awesome, on point. Good flow and layout of home. I could care less about the unwarranted inlaw. I liked your house when I saw the posting and was expecting a good number.
from what i heard, the agent is selling the house for the dad, so you know daddy donāt wanna pay shxx. giving you the house already, not giving you another dime hehe
now i heard the parents moved back in. he had an opportunity and he blew it.

Timing is everything, and good timing can require luck.
I talked to another seller who both bought and sold at the same time we put an offer on our house. She said she had only one offer (good neighborhood in Menlo Park), and the house she offered on (not a great location though), also had only one offer. Our house had only one offer. Yet now, Iām seeing houses on major streets go pending within a week, and a nearby house went for $600K over ours.
I think we were lucky as buyers, and our sellers happened to hit a down period.

Good summary article. Totally agree that photos bring people in. The agents that refuse to put photos up at all are shooting themselves in the foot.
From the article:
āI wish sellers understood the importance of staging and marketing. Too often sellers believe that buyers can see past the furniture, paint, and noticeable wear. They often cannot. People are highly visual. If your agent suggests some staging, depersonalization, or repairs, itās not to be mean. Itās to help buyers see your home at its very best.ā
So true.
