I can tell you why. The biggest reason is greed. Most realtor’s told homeowner’s to wait it out and the prices would rise very soon - that was a year ago. But; that didn’t happen.
Homeowner’s I know also decided to wait for a higher offer. And; for the most part that didn’t happen either.
So; as everyone knows there were a few things that created this problem and one of them was greed. It seems it is still around. Now combine that with more houses, builders huge incentives and foreclosures. It is almost impossible to sell. I did say “almost".
Making the house more presentable will help. Reconsider the asking price and let the Realtor know what you want and stick with it. Don’t let others talk you out of what you feel will help you sell.
Of course; there is a good thing coming out of this mess. Business opportunities. No… I don’t mean rip-offs. I am talking about legitimate opportunities.
What opportunities? Home Staging and Property Management. You don’t need a certificate for Staging - just a town license. Property management requires certification because more is involved with taxes, building maintenance, etc. Entreprenuer and CNN Money gave these busineses huge growth potential.

Swarovski Crystal Palace
This stunning chandelier, formed in the shape of an organic crystal, is one of the elegant sculptural lights on view at Swarovski’s annual display held for Design Week — dubbed the Crystal Palace. Swarovski recruits hip designers from around the world to reinterpret the idea of the chandelier in adventurous new shapes.
This is great, but the picture makes it look like a crystal spaceship. Beam me up!
