to answer your question.. You can actually withdraw your listing at anytime. Just give a termination in writing to the agent.
Alot to do with homes not moving is marketing, you must be VERY aggressive to homes sold quickly in this market. It seems hard to believe no showings in 6 months.
I would be happy to do a FREE cma on your home and you will know what you should be in. Don't pay for an appraisal because even if you put it for sale by owner, the buyers lender will still require another appraisal so it will be wasted money.
Also a fyi, we list and sell for only 4.5% and have a reputation for moving properties fast.
thank you and feel free to give me a call or send me an email

Selling FSBO might be the best option, but you will have to lower the price maybe since buyers look at FSBO as bargain deals. You can contact an investment company to see what type of offers you can receive.

Laura,

We certainly wish you well with whatever direction you elect to take. However, this may not be the best time to venture into the FSBO marketing experience. Three to four years ago, when the RE market was hot and FSBO's were viewed by buyers as the best elective for savings and value it was relatively easy to sell FSBO.

As everyone known, times have changed, with today's buyers being fully aware of the best options for savings being "short sale" and "foreclosures." The typical FSBO property cannot compete with these prices and as a result buyers, for the most part, have drifted away and are no longer seriously considering FSBO.

This is a tough market...even for professionals. Our recommendation is to consider all options, but this may not be the best time for a novice to venture into troubled waters.

Our best wishes

Although it might be a good idea for you to order an appraisal for yourself, don't even think of using it for the buyer. Many buyers finance their home purchases, and most--if not all--lenders will order their own appraisals (now through a third-party as of the beginning of May).

You're probably not getting any showings, because your house is most likely priced too high. You'll know how high after you get the appraisal. Since you mentioned already that you live in a rural area, then I'd strongly recommend that you reconsider NOT listing your property as a FSBO. Instead of selling your property as a FSBO, you might consider selling it with seller financing. This way you'll be able to sell for a slightly higher price, but you still will have to price your home according to its CURRENT market value.
