I have read all the answers so far to your question and here is my two cents…

Price is absolutely relevant however, so is a good agent and marketing the property effectively.

Here’s what I suggest:

1. Find an expert agent in your area.

To find an expert agent in your area drive around a 5-7 mile radius around your home. Look at all the listing signs and make of note of the number of listings each agent represents. Choose the top 3 and interview each of them thoroughly. Get referrals, a minimum of 3, and call each one. Pick the one you feel the most comfortable with. Look for the one who comes across serious, ambitious and honest. I also agree with another answer provided earlier, give special attention to agents with a strong Internet presence. Print advertising is dead and gone when it comes to selling a home.

Here's why!
Agents who specialize in your neighborhood know it the best. With this expertise they can help you price your home accurately since they “live and breathe” where you live. They also have the most experience experimenting with ways to sell these homes. This is extremely valuable. Last but not least, they are vested in the neighborhood and have a keen interest to stay ahead of their competition. Agents targeted in the neighborhood you live in are specialized and should be regarded as highly effective and knowledgeable.

2. Market the home aggressively.

Have the property staged by either the agent, if they also posses that expertise or, a professional stager in your area. Staging a home produces a 150% return on investment. The link below is the proof of this statement. The competition is tough but keep in mind there are buyers in any market. Make absolutely sure yours is the one they fall in love with when they view your home.

Unless someone out there has the magic of telling the future there is no sure way to determine if two months will be the length of time it will take to sell however, one thing is for sure. In our current market condition only the best will survive and win when selling a home. Make sure you plan with a winning strategy and you will succeed over others. Asking the question you asked is the first step to a good experience. Good Luck!

Yes, but if you purchased the condo in 2005 for over $200k, then your not going to enjoy the result.
In this buyers market, it is all about price.

Impossible to tell, BUT, an aggressive marketing plan and pricing it right from the beginning can make a difference, however, there is only one reason a place does not sell.......PRICE.......If you are prepared to drop the price weekly or bi-eekly you will eventually find the attention you are seeking.
Good luck

Hello Isidro,

To sell your condo in 2 months, it will have to be the BEST property on the market in Sandford on Price and Condition. If not, forget it. Find a Realtor in the area who is willing to market it aggressively, preferably with a strong internet presence. You will be competing with foreclosures, and shortsales so make sure you are Priced right!

Isidro,

It's very possible. However it depends on several variables. Average time on the market is currently about 4 months in Central Florida, and there haven't been any sales recorded in the MLS for your community in the past 12 months, so it would require both an aggressive Realtor with an outstanding marketing plan, as well as aggressive pricing. It looks as if you paid considerably more than today's value. Unless you had a large downpayment when you bought, you would need to bring cash to closing when you sell. If that's not a possibility, you'll need a Realtor who knows how to negotiate a "short sale" with the bank. I live and work primarily in Sanford and I work with many short sales. I'd love to learn more about your situation to see if I could help you. Please give me a call at 407-538-0127 and we can discuss it in more detail.
