Our realtor says that if there are not enough showings than you may be priced too high.

Bill, of Bill and Brillo had a post on here saying that you should make your house priced as low as "you can stomach", and we followed his advice. Our home in Cincy burbs would have sold for close to 400K seven years ago, and we put it on the market for 299,900. We have had it on the market for a week and have shown it four times. The best way to see what your house is probably worth is to look on Trulia. It isn't really what it is worth, but what the banks will appraise it for. All the short sales have devalued all of our property, I believe.

We took Bill's tough advice just simply because now is the time for us to enjoy life. We are both 70.

Just sayin'. Not meant to offend.
