One thing that hasn't been mentioned but I thought I would throw it out there--do you have pets that are making the house smell? It sounds like part of the problem is getting people in to see it, so smell may not be the problem. There is a house here that has been on the market for awhile. It is nice and looks good in the pics, but the house smells horribly like dog. I assume that is a big reason why it hasn't sold, since houses are selling quickly here and this one is priced well. We have a small dog. But we just replaced all the flooring, including all the underpad, so I know that wouldn't be an issue at all.

We're not trying to make any money. We know that's not even a remote possibility at this point. Ok I thought somewhere you mentioned equity but I'm not sure and it's hard to find on my phone. I think I would figure out how much more I had to spend then be willing to drop the price to the point where I was losing it there So if you have 10k more and you need a break even of 200k then sell it for 190k. Also I saw you said you removed the listing. Do you mean you took it off the market again? The problem is, it doesn't matter how much she needs to break even or feels comfortable losing or whatever. Her house is only worth what someone is willing to pay. It's a sore point for a lot of sellers, but it's the reality they must come to. She can find a realistic price for her house in her neighborhood or she can continue dickering with a new realtor and more upgrades and not sell anyway.

Honestly, you're coming across as very condescending. I came here for advice, not a lecture and this is not helping in any way right now. Most other peas, made their point without making me feel like crap about it.

Interestingly, a house just went under contract (today) and it is WAY overpriced for our neighborhood, has no upgrades (other than a pool), mediocre photos, minimal curb appeal and same schools. There is NO definitive reason why this house is under contract, but there it is. I would be contacting their realtor to see what s/he can do for you!

There is NO definitive reason why this house is under contract, but there it is. Sometimes it just boils down to human emotion. Something about that house may have been right for those/that buyer(s).
