I'm having one fun time selling my old house. Went under contract twice already. First time was within 36 hours of listing but the buyers terminated due to a sewer scope showing root intrusion (never sent us their repair requests). Got that fixed. Second time it went under contract with 48 hours of relisting, those buyers terminated AFTER accepting the inspection because they didn't like the quality the roof was in (their roofer said it had "minor hail damage") and we offered to replace it.
Now the house is listed again, for a third time, with a new roof, fixed sewer, and a refreshed interior.
Here's my concern. The house next door is abandoned and up until January had squatters. It is in AWFUL shape. Broken windows, trashed backyard etc.
We've had much slower traffic with this third listing, and finally got feedback from one of the few showings we've had in the week it's been live. The feedback was that the house and yard were great but the neighbors house made it a hard no.
The city has said they can't do anything about it because it's still legally owned. They told me they are working with PD and have active warrants out for the owner for failing to appear over missed citations. But still are unable to do anything.
Not even sure I know what advice I'm asking for. Just venting.
