If you lowered your price by $50,000 and haven't sold, you were way over-priced to begin with.

Plenty of people are buying, some of the folks selling, seem to be unrealistic about their home's worth in the marketplace. Lower your price another $50,000 and you'll probably sell it tomorrow.
An average is not a good tool to use. In the Villages, some owners paid $500,000-$800,000 for their home. They are now selling at 1.2 - 2 million dollars. This skews the average cost of a home upward. You have to look at the median price of YOUR STYLE of home to determine its value. This is what realtors and appraisers do.
