Absolutely Dotsie, go to: stjosephstatue.com for another retailer. It is becoming common knowledge here in NY and elsewhere. However, it is NOT sanctioned by the Catholic Church. Seems a bit sacreligious to me to bury poor St. Joseph...especially upside down, but when we are desperate I don't think he would be too mad at us!

That reminds me of cutting a potatoe in half and rubbing it on a wart on my son's hand and burying the potatoe during a full moon. Of course, it didn't work.
When our house was on the market in TN, I had a site I could go to and read the feedback from the realtors who showed it. I thought it was great but my hub said it would be until someone said something negative and I'd go bullistic. I would ask what the realtors had to say that have shown it to get an idea.
The market has slowed but the interest rates haven't really gone up and people are still buying. You just haven't found the right one...unless this couple that is returning is the right one.
I feel for you. It was just awful when we put our house on the market. I busted my buns keeping it clean and then, my realtor tells me that she wants to have an open house and I should have home baked cookies and bottled water for the people who came. To my mind, she was making the commission so I told her to bake the cookies herself! Give me a break! I was exhausted. I decided no open houses until I had moved. We left our furniture in the house because they always look better furnished, and after I moved to MN, told her she could have an open house as often as she wanted. Really, it's usually just a way for realtor to find a new client or the neighbors to nose through your house.

Cathi,
Do you already have a place that you want to move to? What I have found in selling houses is that when I've already found something else that I'm excited about the current house sells quickly but when I did't know where I want to go...I just knew I that I wanted out of where I was, nothing happened.
The fastest I ever sold one was in 3 days when I decided to move back to my home town following a divorce. Oh, and I got more than the asking price and there were other houses in my neighbor hood that had been on the market for months.
Good luck!

Oh YES, I have heard of that- when we lived in Ct it was THE thing to do if you were trying to sell a home! And you know what, EVERYONE that did it were pleased with the response and offers. Maybe it is because St. Joseph was a carpenter....who can figure? Anyhoo, next time we try to sell our home, (and I wish I'd known about this in the past!!) I am going to get one and bury it asap. I wonder if it aspects "full moon" like planting potatoes? LOL for that thought!
