Ya thats a good question..... There is nothing supporting the shower facuet from coming from the faucet valve behind the wall. When you move the shower head the entire shower pole (coming from the water distribuation pipe) moves back and forth and side to side.

Good Idea! I think that is your best bet... Just use mildew resistant sheetrock or that rock-board when you patch the hole...
As you are aware Florida is undergoing some major price adjustments - downward- at this time, this is the feedback I am receiving from some investors I know there.
If it is not selling it is the price, period. Your website for this property is very well done by the way.
If the property is very nice you may sell at the top end of the market and do so in short order.
I do this in my market.
BUt....
It has to be nicer than all the other ones for sale in the area and beat the competition "hands down".
If it does not meet the above criteria then you are priced way too high if there is so little interest in your property..
If you go to www.homechamps.com/projects you can see what it takes in my market to sell at the top of the market as I have several projects on the site.
Good Luck!

Just my 2cents,
I believe it would be better to use a higher quality camera and reshoot the pictures in the back and repost them. Quality counts on the internet pictures. If people think the roof looks wavy that is all they will see.
I use to think that the Public Remarks in the MLS were just blah blah blah. But I recently changed my remarks and it made a big difference.
Old way,
Total remodel. New kitchen cabinets, flooring, light fixtures, paint inside and out, etc.
New way.
BEST VALUE IN SEMINOLE COUNTY! Shows like a model and a great neighborhood.
Have you looked at your MLS detail sheet (broker synopsis)? They are filled with errors and poor choice of wording.
How do the buyers agents gain access for a showing? Do they call you? Do you have it on electronic lockbox and say "Vacant, show any time"?
Do you have the listing as a "limited service listing"? This is a tip off to any realtor that you are a FSBO flat fee listing. Many realtors will not show those listings.
Does your realtor only remarks say "BONUS" . This is a keyword that many realtors search on.
I started one of my rehabs about 3 hours ago and im pretty much done. I gutted and rebuilt a new kitchen, same thing with the bathroom. I sided it and did the roof. So on average its taking about about 4 to 5 hours to complete my rehabs.
P.S. i did new elecrical service too.
Gut and rebuild kitchen and bathroom, reside and reroof, electrical upgrade- all in 4-5 hours?
I gutted and rebuilt kitchen and bathroom, upgraded electrical, redid floors and painted my current project- also replaced trim and some doors, rebuilt fireplace, insulated, patched plaster walls and ceiling, expanded batroom, repaired/replaced windows, drywalled over siding on porch interior and replaced porch ceiling, replaced galvanized pipes, and a bunch of other things, but I am not quite done and have 3 1/2 months into it.
2 bedroom is killing you...maybe advertise 3-bedroom just to be pulled up with the most popular requests...the third bedroom is the mother-in-law room.
Price Below the competition. That is what it takes in this market. You might want to offer incentives for financing, paid closing costs, flat screen...something to really bring it to market.
We have houses out here in Atlanta that are priced way below value. My phone is always ringing. The problems we have are marketing the properties since we bypass the mls and realtors. Once the word gets out on price we start getting calls.

We have 3 or 4 flippers for sale most of the time.
To sell them in less than 12 months we fix EVERYTHING,
do the comps, then set our price approx. 5 to 10% below
everyone else.
Our thoughts are if we are not the best value deal on
the market the house will not sell.
Prices are still falling here and we feel "chasing the market
down" is a fools game.
When we do a price reduction (when we have to) we drop
at LEAST another 10%.
Less than that does not seem to work.
Securing it? What is wrong with it?

summerj,
Glad to meet you.
I would have to say Florida right now is the big problem, along with this being a 2 Bedroom house, as they normally take longer to sell.
Not a real believer in what Zillow has to say on prices, however sometimes they are pretty close.

I use my MLS hotsheet for a true snapshot of our market. I like to look at the last two weeks of new listings and back on the markets verses pendeds.
For instance, the current count is 1421 new SF listings, 143 BOM vs 932 pended. This is a HUGE turnaround from last fall.

Hey Chris,
I know nothing about your market. But yeah, one buyer for every 250 homes does seem totally crazy.
Then again, one buyer for every five homes, still seems like a pretty tight market to me. That would be pretty scary trying to be that 20% that sold.
Home does look nice though....
here is a public album of my most recent project..

That is like asking how good is the fishing in the US?
It depends, I have just put 3 of 4 under contract and they went from 3 weeks to 2 months on the market.
My houses are always nicer than the competitions so they sell quicker.
Time on market is more a question of price than anything else. At the right price all objections disappear and the house sells very fast..
