Single Guy came back for a second look yesterday, which is marginally encouraging, but we're proceeding with the plan to take the house off the market tomorrow. Our agent will let S.G.'s agent know that if he still wants to make an offer, we'll work with him. The next step, as I may have mentioned before, is to stage the house and put it back on the market in a few weeks when things start picking up again.We're on month seven, guys ...

Wouldn't it be better not to tell SG that it's coming off the market?
Honestly, I don't know. He also knows that we're staging it, so maybe this will encourage him to bite. Or not.
I've given up trying to guess what people want in a house. You wouldn't believe some of the shallow, stupid-assed feedback we've gotten.
'Staging' sounds really gay. I guess that's what we get for having all of these home makeover shows now! I'm curious as to what the negative feedback has been..?
Update!
We're still in the running. John Doe has narrowed it down to three houses, and wants his brother-in-law to see them on the 27th. Apparently his agent likes our house, so maybe that will be further persuasion. We're leaving it on the market until he makes a decision.
Staging IS gay, but it sells houses because people are so fucking stupid.
My favorite negative feedback so far (preceded with "It's a wonderful house, but ..."):
1) All my friends live on the other side of Highland.
2) I don't like the carpet.
3) Alzheimer's patients might escape from the locked facility down the street and wander around. (I picture Night of the Living Dead here.)
It's become a game for Susan and me to guess the reason why they're not buying. "The kitchen is too kitcheny," etc.
Has anyone been so distasteful as to actually mention the 'smell?'
That house was never the same after you came to visit.
