Strategy for selling a house - what is the best way to proceed?

Here similarly, some farmers imagine themselves in paradise and completely lose touch with reality. Two examples:
- a mid-terrace house with approx. 140m2 living space on 300m2 land, without (!) garden as everything is paved over, around 60-70 years old house, in need of renovation in the deserted village center of a village. Comparable properties have sold for 200k in recent years. Initial listed price: 760k. :D After months and a burnt listing, it dropped in 3 steps from over 700k to 550k, now at 450k (via Sparkasse), still listed.
- in an even smaller 800-inhabitant community, a new build, detached two-family house, both units stacked ("1.5-story") with about 100m2 living space each on 500m2 land, standard equipment... listed as a "multi-family house (!) for rent/investment property"... rent index there is about 5,- /m2... asking price: 1.2 million! :D :D We can only shake our heads here partly... but that will never sell like that. People get greedy and often - rightfully - fall flat on their faces.

We live near Frankfurt and unfortunately, million-euro prices have already become normal there. But the be-all and end-all of selling is exactly the point to orient yourself on comparable (!!!) sales from the last 1-2 years when setting the asking price. This is relatively easy for us because there are many transactions.

But this is not about Frankfurt, but rather some small village in the middle of nowhere, which some seller, however, likes to confuse with Frankfurt / Stuttgart / Cologne or Munich :D

Exactly, I was talking about villages with 3k and 0.8k inhabitants, the latter even without a baker/butcher etc... no public transport for miles around, at least the highway but in both directions too far out of the way ;)

Such a call can apparently help to make them hurry up after all.

I called ING on Wednesday afternoon, on Friday I received an email from the notary that everything was complete, and today the money arrived :)

How long did it take for you in total? The notary appointment was almost 6 weeks ago for us. The priority notice of conveyance is already registered; we have already received a letter from the notary.
How long does it typically take after that until the due date? We have to pay for the property soon. If the purchase price comes soon, I would wait; if I knew it would take another 4 weeks, I would ask the family to bridge the gap.

Sorry for the late response. The entire process took us 6 weeks, from the first appointment to the payment of the purchase price.
