The other problem we have is the house is on what is considered a 'main' street but it is set far back off the road on an acre of land...with a circular drive. Our house is priced between 400 and 600 thousand lower than the homes in our sub that aren't on the main road. To go much lower than the price we listed for would be almost impossible...and every agent I have talked to say it is priced great. Our backyard looks like a park...nice trees, private..... Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Someday we will all be in TV and this will be a memory.

I've been in the commercial real estate business for over 30 years,but have several friends and associates in the residential markets.I've learned alot from them,plus my own experiences in having several of my homes sold.Find the best and most aggressive realtor you know,list with he/she and get out of their way.Let them price the house,since they have no emotional involvement.Your home is too pricey for the current market or it would have already sold after this length of time .Your home is in the upper price range which is the toughest market to find buyers .You need to offer the selling agents a bonus,so they will have an added incentive to show your home.Bottom line
is you need to list your home with another realtor and keep your ego and emotions out of it.Anybody that tells me it's impossible to lower the price of their home needs to have a reality check .Sorry if my post sounds harsh,but what you are currently doing is not working,these are some constructive ideas that have worked in the past,best of luck,and hope your permanently in TV very soon.
