[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just sold a house in 22046 in Va. It was on the market for 3 days before it went under contract (it hit the mls as for sale and agents were able to make appointments on a Sunday, and our agent set an offer deadline of Tues at 5pm). If you could get the house cleaned and organized well enough for a few days, that might be enough? Ask your agent. [/quote]

This.  My friend's family did this.  They would pay to clean the place and organize it before each open house weekend (it took them several to sell) and then leave for the weekend to stay with family or go on a road trip just for 2-3 days.  They didn't do this every weekend, just when it was convenient for them.  They had good photos taken when the place was organized and some virtual staging and that was enough.  Overall it cost them so much less to just have it cleaned up before open house weekends than moving somewhere, and no hassles having to relocate.

I also know people who relocated to a rental apartment to sell their house. It's because they were not sure when and where they were going to buy, they wanted to sell asap because one of them lost a job and they needed to take time to re-evaluate.  [/quote]
