There is usually only one reason why a house doesn't sell---PRICE. Even if a house is not in a good location or needs updates, it will sell if the price is right.

We have bought and sold over 25 homes. Make sure your Realtor has done a "good" market analysis and price your home accordingly. It doesnt hurt to do your own research too. It's not what dollars you want out of the house, it's what someone is currently willing to pay.

Finally, the longer on the market the harder it usually becomes to sell.

Good luck. You will be coming to the finest retirement community in the country.
