Sometimes it takes quite a while to sell, sometimes it does not. What is the neighborhhod like? Are properties selling or Not?
Do you need to obtain a formal appraisal to limit Capital Gains Tax. If so obtain that first. What type of contents are in the house and do they need an appraisal. W
hat other assets are avaiable to pay creditors? If not many or none and there is significant debt get moving now.
