Agree with the below!  Pricing is key!  Make sure it is priced according to your neighborhood.  If you made improvements to your house and it is better than every house in your area, it may not sell and that is because of location.  Hope that helps!

Upgrades on a home today will likely not bring more money, but can help it to get sold in today's market.  Good answers below!

3 reasons I see.

1 price
2 location
3 condition

I expect price is the biggest reason. Or you could simply notice that housing inventory is high and buyers are few. That may be the better reason.
