One has to find humor in the St. Paul real estate market or go nuts in the process. Three different times on the same listing buyers appeared to be "going to write". Three different times! That's a lot of interest for one home.
One case was an unrepresented buyer. They even asked where they could get blank purchase agreement forms! In two cases the buyer's agent called with several questions and then called back again and again. Each time there was another set of questions requiring more answers. Each time the seller answered to the best of their knowledge. Both agents left me with the words, "Let us know if there's any interest from another party." In a different market those words would have been the precursor to an offer being written within the week. In this market, it's just plain nerve wracking.
I feel like I'm plucking petals from a daisy: "Will they write; won't they write? Will they write; won't they write?" Eventually, someone will take the plunge. The St. Paul absorption rate is close to 9 months so sometime before next summer someone should make an offer.
In the meantime, we'll keep plucking petals from that daisy!
