our house

I haven't mentioned our house in Stevens Point for a while because it is kind of depressing to think about it just sitting there. We haven't had but one or two people come to see it in the last few months and no more open houses. The Stevens Point housing market is just dead right now.
But the most recent development is that the house is currently NOT listed! WTF you say? Oh yeah, our house is actually, technically, off the market right now. See we got an email on November 30, rather late that day actually, from our realtor stating that he was moving to a new agency and that as of December 1st he would no longer be our agent. Kind of a shocker! You would think a little more notice might be appropriate. Our options were to stick with the same company and have them assign us a new agent, switch agencies to be able to stick with the same guy or start the process over and have the house off the market for a little while. We chose option three. This means that we have to start "interviewing" potential agents again and figuring out a new price (or stick with the same price). We are also going to be looking at possibly renting the house to friends of a friend so this gives us some time as well to work that out. The plus side is that if we keep the house off for a full 30 days then when we re-list it becomes a new listing again and might catch more peoples eyes. 30 days doesn't seem like that big of a deal especially because of the holidays, I mean who is really out there house shopping right now anyway.
The whole thing is extremely frustrating. I cannot tell you how much I want to sell our house and start looking for our new home; we are ready to be done with this apartment!
