  • the most expensive detached on the market is 1610 Simmons Ct.
  • the least expensive detached on the market is 104 E Linden St.

  • What kind of feedback is your home getting?
  • Does the current market favor buyers or sellers?
  • Since the day you listed, what homes have accepted offers, how many days did it take, and what price were they asking?

Here are collected reasons homes in Northern Virginia will sometimes have no traffic:
  • Unreasonable price — The toughest pill to swallow, but once in a blue moon this is the problem.
  • Parking — A difficult driveway or a dwelling without good parking can be slow to sell.
  • Neighbors — Are your neighbors making it difficult to sell?
  • Odor — Most homes have an odor that the owner doesn't even know aware of.
These are problems we’ve seen before and the challenges we know how to overcome. Are you deliberating the possibility of selling your property in Rosemont? If so, it's smart to investigate what residences have sold for in the surrounding place. Those detacheds can give a real estate seller an idea of the list price for your modest detached.
