I'm Running Out Of Time

On Monday, I made the prediction that I would receive another offer on my house this week. I've had two showings since, but no written offers. My prediction is quickly running out of time.

Since many of you are probably wondering what kind of feedback I'm receiving from the showings after 64 weeks on the market, I figured I'd post one here.

Interior -- General Condition? Good
Exterior -- General Condition? Good
Curb appeal (lot/landscaping)? Good
Staging (cosmetics, updating)?
Appropriately Priced? Yes
If no, what would be appropriate? No Response
This buyer is considering another showing of this property? No
General comments/suggestions:
My buyer is looking for something to "wow her" This is a great house, but it didn't do that for her.

Ugh ... I don't know how to "wow" a buyer at the sub-$200k price point. Buyers are picky right now, really picky. Six more weeks and I'm throwing in the towel. Something about 70 weeks on the market says "RENT ALREADY!" I'll try my luck with a property management company and go from there. Here's to hoping, if that day comes, I don't end up with a scumbag renter and dirty family who likes dog fighting. In case you're wondering, that already occurs just one block down the street at a rental.
