According to the National Association of Realtors 29% of buyers first learned about the home they ended up purchasing from the internet. So, any exposure on the internet is beneficial.
As far as your question regarding follow up, I follow up with any leads I get no matter where they are from. - Wed Jul 16 2008, 10:58
As of only a few months ago, days on market showed up on our listing sheets, now it is just listing market time. But, the days on market still shows up in the listing and property history section, so any Realtor should know with a few clicks of the mouse how long the home has actually been on.
Ultimately, if a Realtor has a client set up to receive new listings, they have probably already received your listing in the bunch. If you haven't gotten any Realtor showings, then your home isn't fitting the criteria of those buyers. So, if you have it relisted as new, giving it a new listing market time you are still fishing in the same pond and I too would suggest you need to change something, most likely the price, in order to appeal to a new set of buyers.
I suppose it depends on from what angle of the home buying/selling process you are referring.
If a seller has the home you described, their agent should give direction on how to price with comparative properties located in close proximity to the home.
If it is a buyer looking at the home and wanting a reduced price because of the location and it is priced "right" then there should not be a "discount" expected since the buyer is well aware of the location of the home beforehand. If the home is overpriced for the area, that is another matter.
