I have seen time and time again houses priced about $10,000 too high sit on the market for over 200 days. Then they get marked down $10,000 and all of a sudden they sell overnight. I watch the market carefully and see this often. It just happened to friends of ours. I knew from the start the realtor priced it too high. It sat for 262 days. Then they changed the price and it sold in one day. It's pretty easy to see with all of the houses listed in the paper every day. Some realtors like to show the new homes currently being built instead of the pre-owned and that doesn't help any either. Not sure if their commissions are higher on those or not. I'm sure your stepson works hard. There is no question that it is a difficult job.
