In this market you can't hope to sell if you are fairly priced. Six months ago if there were 10 houses priced like yours there would be 15 buyrs so no problem selling. Now, though, you probably have 20 houses priced like yours with only 10 buyers.You not only have to look at your house, but look at all the other houses that are similar to yours in price and size and location. If you are one of 20, then you are just another house in the crowd. the ones that are going to be seen first are the ones that have a "Wow" factor. It is either the most dazzling house on the market, or it is priced better than any other. If that happens people will look and make offers. If the best thing you can say is that it is clean and neat and people say it is priced all right, for me that is screaming "NOTHING SPECIAL HERE" if you need a timely sale. You either need to do something to really schnazz up the house, or drop the price, so that people will sit up and take notice.First, don't just drop the price blind. Get your sis-n-law to run up all the houses like yours now on the market. Go visit them. See what they have that yours doesn't. Then figure a way to make your house a clearly better deal then all the others - a better price - better terms - or a knock-down-dead, Better-Homes&Gardens display.Then you'll sell fairly quickly. Good luck
