So as the title says, our real estate agent has suggested not puting a price on our home for at least the first 2 weeks of advertising, just to get the potential buyers feedback and see where they think the house is worth, and then maybe after that add a price. There will still be a price in the 'background' so it comes up in the right searches online. Hubby and I thought it was a good idea but my parents said tonight they get annoyed with no price and always assume its more than they thought so they don't even bother with homes with no price guide, so wdyt?

No, I wouldn't bother chasing it up unless I happened to be very keen. I'm one who gets annoyed with no price or auctions without an accurate price guide. Why waste my time making inquiries or falling in love with something that's potentially out of my price range?

We've been house hunting for 6 months and I look at the new listings daily.
I do the same as your parents.

TBH - if I don't see a price on anything I don't bother looking.

But if you have chosen the right REA they will know what works best to sell your home in that particular area!

I likely wouldn't persue

I hate auctions, so there is next to no chance I'd enquire about a house with no price.

[Madnesscraves]

No price = no looky.

It grates me just like 'offers over'

Just have a set price and ill consider the house!

What your parents said. I once rang up about one with no price and the REA used it more as a fishing expedition at to what our budget was. Even by the end of the call I still didn't find out how much the house was.

I have also kept an eye on a few that were without price but in our search price bracket only to find several weeks down the track with a price they were way out of our price range.

Now I don't even bother to look at or enquire about a house without a price.

no -personally I think agents recommend this as it benefits them - it helps them build a list of potential buyers for all properties they are trying to/will try to sell rather than being of benefit to you directly as a vendor (because generally they will only talk price with the prospective purchaser once they have details.

I wouldn't bother enquiring about a house with no listing price. I also pay no attention to auction listings unless they have a buyers guide attached. The only exception would be if it was my dream house and I haven't come across one of those in the 5 years I've been looking.
