As I mentioned in one of my other blogs.. this time of year for me (this year) is slow. Not because of the holidays, but the lack of inventory and buyers... can you believe this?
All my listings have closed, and the buyers I had moved into their new homes before Thanksgiving. I'm sure most of us run into where families would like to be in their new home to settle in before this time of year.
What I have going right now are rentals.. and I have a few of those. They are on many different websites.. and I've posted them to ActiveRain as well.
One in particular I've blogged about is a 3 level, 2 bedroom, 1½ bath townhouse condo with 2 fireplaces and approx. 1800 sq ft of living space. This is located at Cromwell Hills, in Cromwell CT. This unit is also pet friendly.. which is RARE.
Now here is my dilemma. I've been able to show the rentals to people when I have had the opportunity to speak with them. If they leave a message wanting to see the home, and have stated that they would like to see it as soon as possible and would like a showing that day or the next.. Why is it when I return their call, they either don't answer or never return the call. If they are in such a need to find a place wouldn't you think they would have the courtesy to return the call? In some cases I have called twice, just to make sure they got the message.. but still no return call.
Is there a need for rental property? Or are people just pulling my chain?
