The house next to mine has been empty for more than 5 years now. It's been sold at least twice and belongs to the bank at this point. Overpriced is simply overpriced and unsalable.
my brother sold his house before they even listed it. Two different people drove by while they were in the process of moving out and made offers. I was shocked. The trick was not to overprice it. They made a few thousand dollars on it, but were mainly just trying to get out from under the old mortgage after they had moved into their new house.
