Why would a house be up for sale, but not put a sign in the yard?

March 2, 2010 - 1:09 pm 4 Comments

It’s been for sale for almost 2 months, and they’ve never put up a sign. It’s on zillow.com and other realty websites. They also had a realtors lock on the door for a few weeks, but it just came off this weekend. It’s laying on the porch. Any ideas?
Signs are allowed in the neighborhood. They have always been allowed. In fact, there’s one across the street, and the street behind, and about 5 more in the neighborhood.
It’s not vacant.

There could be several reasons. First off, as another said, there may be rules about yard signs in place. Secondly, the house may be vacant, and the sellers do not want to advertise such by having a yard sign in place. There are no requirements to have a yard sign. I’ve worked with more than one seller who has refused such signage.
