So you will hold out for a specific buyer, one who has plenty of cash or someone who thinks your house is so unique that he has to have it and will pay 2-3% over asking to get the sale. .
And by that I mean your asking price plus 2-3% more for the buyer's agent paid out of his/her own pocket. I suspect that your house will sit for quite awhile if the asking is competitive,

Now, since TV has a large portion of retirees with plenty of cash from the sale of their prior house, you might get one. .

good luck with that strategy if you actually want to sell.
