Q: We closed, as buyers, 2 months ago but our home is still listed as "Pending." Isn't there a time limit to list as sold?
This matters to me because the other homes listed for sale in my neighborhood do not see our purchase price. (over asking) This could end up affecting our resale value.
***Edit***
I must not have made myself clear. I want people to see what we paid. The MLS still shows our house as "pending" and not as closed. Without showing out home as closed, appraisers and Realtors can't use our home's sale price to gauge my neighborhood's home values.
A: If you are worried that someone will learn what you paid, you should know that this information is readily available on multiple state websites without charge. If you are simply being bothered by nosey neighbors wanting to know what you paid, just be honest with them. Tell them that you would prefer not to say.
