Good juju please!?

[mommymadness]

So I know this is nowhere near as important as some of the stuff others have going on but mh and I have found our perfect house and the sellers have accepted our offer but we HAVE to sell our place by the 7th of May! Our place has been on the market since mid- November!! I feel like it is a great price but it is 10 mins out of town so less interest! It sucks because so many potential buys have said it was their #1 house but put offers in on their second favourite because they were in town! I'm just sooo over staying at my parents!! I NEED to sell!
So if you have any good juju to send that would be amazing! Anything helps, right?

Sending you all the good juju I have to give! I know the feeling of living with parents and how challenging it can be. Good luck with everything that is going on!

[somethingcleverer]

Sending some good vibes your way!

[trixi282]

Lots of good juju your way. I hope the perfect buyer comes along that is willing to compromise and live in the perfect house just outside of town!!

[junkytrunk]

Good luck!

[pinkluna]

You got it! Hope all works out!

[summergirl1211]

Wishing you tons of luck and sending good vibes your way! I hope you can sell ASAP!

[sarahandeddie]

Quick sale vibes headed your way. I know how frustrating selling your home could be. Ours took forever to sell and I'm sure it's because of the out of the way location. I hope yours sells very soon.

Good selling vibes coming your way!

FX!! Would you be willing (or able) to drop the price even a smudge? Not sure about Canada's real estate market, but I know a price change will usually generate more interest. Or maybe an open house!?

A friend of mine swears that burying a statue of St. Joseph in the front yard is what sold their house. It was on the market for awhile and after she got the statue they had an offer within a week.... She's not super religious, but it made her believe its what helped them! Worth a try maybe?!

Yes we did a price drop recently and our contract is up this month with our realtor so he is actually going to drop it and then create a "new" contract so it will pop up again on the listings! Hopefully it works! Lol

I remember hearing about that and was trying to remember what it was!

Maybe do it at the start of the new contract, a fresh start to sell the house!

Selling houses is no fun! Has it been on the market long? Maybe pull from market for a week and then relish to draw interest and reset days on market clock??? Good luck!

We're not Catholic (so we don't believe in the whole saints thing), but I remember we did this when trying to sell my grandmother's house after she died.  It had been on the market a while.  Someone told my parents to try it.  I believe the house sold about a week after they did it.  My parents are now trying to sell their own house and its been on the market since the fall.  They just buried St. Joseph this past week, so we'll see how that goes.  

Apparently, you're supposed to bury him upside down...

[mommymadness]

Where would one find a St. Joseph?? And by upside down, would you burry him like face Down or just his head away from your house?

We bought one at a religious store. We buried him head down in front of the house and it worked! After you sell you are supposed to dig him back up and give him a place of respect in the new house. I dug him up but I think he's in a drawer somewhere.

[trixi282]

mommymadness, you can get one at basically any Christian book store, I'm pretty sure. And yes, my friend also buried it upside down - not sure if it matters facing the house or away though.

somethingcleverer, you're so funny... "I think he's in a drawer somewhere". Good luck selling the next house!

Hidden in a drawer may be the safest place in our house!

Just make sure you bury it in a place where you'll be able to find it when you dig it back up!! That happened to, uh, my friend.

Like somethingcleverer said, you just bury him head down, feet pointing to the top of the hole. I'm not sure it matters which direction he is facing. I'm sure you can also buy one online if you don't have a christian store near you.
