What Offer on Your House Can't You Refuse? Tell the World

Zillow.com just announced a new feature on it's website called "Make Me Move", where home-owners can tell the world the price on their home that they can't refuse. Here's the details.

What is Make Me Move?

Make Me Move is a free and easy way to tell others the price you'd be willing to sell your home for, without actually putting it on the market. It's that magical number you just can't refuse.

How Does It Work?
Once you set your Make Me Move price, potential buyers can contact you anonymously via e-mail. Then it's up to you whether or not to sell your home.

Why Use Make Me Move?

Pre-market
Thinking about selling soon? Use Make Me Move to start gathering interest from potential buyers.

Meet Sarah: Sarah lives in a 1920s house with her 17-year-old daughter who will soon head to college. Since the house is old and requires a lot of upkeep, Sarah wants to buy a smaller home in a brand-new development that is being planned a few miles away. She's not ready to formally put her home on the market, but she wants to get the word out that she would like to move within the year.

Opportunity knocks
Your "plans down the road" might happen sooner than expected if the right offer comes along.

Meet Mike: Mike works in the city and lives in the suburbs with his wife. They have a second home in the Southwest where they plan to retire when Mike turns 62, so they still have 10 years in their primary home... or do they? Mike is a little tired of taking care of his 2-acre property, the kids are out of the house, and it would be nice to avoid the commute, plus enjoy all the city has to offer. Mike is thinking if the right opportunity came along, he might just be tempted to sell it, downsize, and rent a place in the city until he's ready to retire.

Pie in the sky
Flirt with the possibilities. Every seller has a price — what's yours?

Meet Ryan: Ryan is 32 years old, single, and has a great job as a senior accountant at a health insurance company. He bought a one-bedroom condo a few years ago, but there's nothing holding him back from changing direction at a moment's notice. He would travel for a year — or more — as he's always dreamed. His life could be a blank canvas from which to start something new. He would be daring, if someone gave him the right price for his condo.
