Question: My husband and I own a townhome in a small but popular community. There is one unit that has been on the market for a few months because it was a rental for many years, is in very bad shape, and frankly, overpriced. How can the performance (or lack thereof) of this property impact our ability to sell our unit, which is in great condition and move-in ready? Should we try to sell ours sooner rather than later to avoid a low-end comp in the neighborhood or will other agents understand this is not a true “comp” for our unit?
