hellodolly Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) BTW,the company that floods the TV classifieds has almost 4 000 listings on their site !!! I didn't count how many in TV,but it is MANY !!! How many are available. Many of the web pages I have looked at have the listing there with a sold or leased sign through it.

I think it's not fair to private property owners...if you have a company,advertise the company...not just put all of your single listings on somebody else web site ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It's been a decade or more and the price keeps climbing.Even saw it advertised on the Mae Rim Golf board some 4-5 yrs ago. Fun indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhbigv Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 One of the best ways to sell a house, as someone else has mentioned on a different thread, is get a few nice big signs made, saying 'FOR SALE' in English and Thai, stick on a telephone number! Did this myself and that is where ALL the enquiries (and the sale) came from, the neighbours gossip and mention it to friends etc and there are a lot of people who drive around moo baans looking for houses. We did appoint an agent at one stage......one viewing in 6 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommoPhysicist Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 One of the best ways to sell a house is to advertise it truthfully and at a realistic price. Just visited a house advertised as 4 bedroom, 2M6. Actually turned out to be a two bedroom house, with 2 sheds, large 'detached' living room, no kitchen. Nobody is going to buy a house advertised as 4 beds, when it only has 2 beds. Anyone who wanted 2 beds wouldn't view it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcat Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The problem also is,that many buyers don't follow-up on their inquires...that may come up from to many listings,mostly expired,or fake....I can understand that,it's like doing the Google search,most people will stop after 2nd page...

jaideeguy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Biggest problem is there is way too much inventory on the 2nd hand housing market and made even worse with all the new moobaans being built that offer financing. And the simple fact that Thais would rather buy a new sterile cookie cutter house without ghosts than a house with mature landscaping and my falang spirits. I've been advertising with flyers, in local tourist magazines and even have a website dedicated to my property for almost a year and the amount of 'lookers' has been 12....mostly Thai falang couples and it's mostly the falang that likes it and the Thai wife doesn't......'yes dear' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommoPhysicist Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) It also might have to do with people being hopelessly optimistic in the value of their properties. Two posters on this very thread being guilty of that. I can buy a brand new 3 bed house near Mae Rim (on CM side) for 1M8 with views of the mountains and financing or at San Sai I can get a second hand 3 bed house for about 1.1 million. Or for nearly a million more, buy a smaller place with subsidence in the rear wall and termites in the wood near Four Seasons. Which do I buy ........ hmmmmm ..... hard to decide. You guys selling property need to get out and do a bit of research on your competition. Edited November 30, 2012 by TommoPhysicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcat Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 That's exactly the problem with some buyers,that don't even badder to go and take a look at the property they were inquiring and just judge by the price,or distance to the city,or that wife likes things bigger...and new...or just think that they want to buy,but...don't really want... ...I would like to sell our house to advance to something more suitable for our growing family...but this has been working so far,so I'm not in the rush...and certainly will not 'give it away' for 'just because' cause....maybe I just should emphasize on the term... 'serious buyers only,please'...and don't blame it on the price ether,if it says 'negotiable'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
