The problem is people are listing too high. The condo we just did short sale on sold for about 40% over list. We had about 20 offers in 4 days. However, if we had listed it at the final sale price, it would probably still be unsold.

We tried to list at a realistic price - enough to reflect some value of the upgrades we had done vs. the comps in the area, but not so much we priced ourselves out of market. It worked, apparently.
This is the value of a good real estate agent who knows your area well.  |
