1. Priced too high because sellers are upside down.
2. Because priced too high, property now negatively stigmatized.
3. Chasing the market, ultimately settling for a price below market value.

1. main reason usually is price is too high
2. if the home is in an area that may be flooded with inventory it has to be competitive and be the best and show the best
3. if there is no action maybe the agent can put all new photos, do a new video, advertise in Homeas and land magazine- shake it up abit

I would add- terrible condition of property- and I really mean it.
I show a lot of REO properties and some of them are extremely neglected-mold issues, roof leaks that has not been taken care of, stinky, visible cracks that may indicate major problems etc.
Some of these properties not even investors consider to purchase.

1 sellers do not get the market or how to price
2 realtors do not understand proper pricing or the market
3 price is to high
All say the the same thing.

I would say that the number one reason is price for sure. However, buyers right now are looking for the best bargain and are very picky! Sellers, even if the Realtor hits the Listing Price dead on, feel that they can get more money for their homes. With the foreclosure market still moving and banks going in the real estate business, the Incredible deals are few and far between.
2. Listing has to be completely remodeled and buyer does not want the headache.

1) Property is overpriced (for condition, location, market, etc.)
2) Property is not advertised (no online presence, no sign, etc.)
3) Access is difficult to obtain (rented property, problem keys, etc.)

Usually price is the #1 problem. It may be helpful to go online and check out comparable properties in your neighborhood and consider a price reduction.
Distracting and dated decor/colors (lime green appliances, shag carpeting, ugly bathrooms/kitchens) sometimes make it difficult for a buyer to see the real value and potential of the home. It may be worth it to hire a staging company.
Damage to the home (water damage, pool/lanai, roof) can intimidate buyers, because of the unknown repair expense. Consider getting a home inspection and making the repairs.

Any home will sell at the right price no matter where it is located or what condition it is in. It is our problem to find out what that price should be.

Price, bad location or super ugly. When you get to it though, even the last two can usually be fixed with the right price.

I second (or third) the "Price, Price, Price," in addition to the seller's willingness or ability to present the house in its "best light."

yes. It is price, price, price. And it is condition and location, but that has to be considered in the price. Soooo, it is all about price!

Price is critical - and often determined by sellers who "need" to get x-dollars regardless of what the market value of the property is. That said, there are homes out there not getting offers despite an appropriate price -- and then the issue is often how the property shows. If a property is vacant, it should be immaculately clean. If it is occupied it should be staged. Went into a vacant house last week that was bargain-priced but languishing on the market. The problem? It had been empty and closed up for 2 years and smelled musty. Realtors told me their clients came in, took a good sniff and shut down. How hard would it have been to solve that problem?
