The only reality in selling is price solves the problem. Better taking 5 percent off now than paying a commission. Buyer is going to expect it anyway.
A house going stale due to overpricing many times results in it eventually selling for a lower price than it would have brought had it been initially priced correctly. Add the carrying cost for several months and it is a lose-lose proposition.
