Hard decisions...On the one hand you dont want to "give your house away"...but on the other, keep paying those monthly mortgage payments for another year as you wait??? hmmmm

what is the feedback from the folks who have looked at the house - are there any reasons other than price that keep people from making an offer? might be that some other issue[s] need to be addressed.

have you checked the comparables within a ten mile radius of your location? is there an independent resource where you can look-up such public records? i never like to rely solely on a realtor...they might claim to work for me - but they are looking to collect their commission, too!

i love the idea i read here a while back - the seller raised the price of the house and used the add'l $$ to pay an added incentive to the realtor who brought in the buyer contract! was much like where i grew up - if the house didn't sell, raise the price - and make sure the agents know the date of the price increase!

good luck with your quest!
