If it is "priced right", it will sell - eventually. The only reason for it not to is that no one knows about it (marketing). If it's being marketed and not moving, then you are looking at a price issue.

Condition is a factor, as is location, etc. However, all of these should be reflected in the price. So...back to "if it's being effectively marketed and not moving, then it's price".

Maybe a bit overly simplistic, but I find it a compelling factor. Everything else (location, condition, age, style, etc.) is simply a coefficient in the selling equation.

A Good result is a combination of all these elements!!

What about an answer from a seller?

Marketing is very important.  If you don't have a unique marketing plan the property will not sell. You only get one shot at the First Impression and we create a buzz before we list the home.  Photography is very important and we make sure we have the best photos of the home to use in our marketing campaign. Most buyers search online so make the house shine with great photos. We have a very unique marketing campaign and we have succeeded when other agents have failed. Remember Who You Work With Matters.

2 things cause any home to sell or not sell... Price, and the home. Eventually both will find their way to the right price and a new owner provided all parties are willing to negotiate.

I'm guessing that Jhobanna knows the answer to her question since she placed it in the category that provides a one word answer, like playing Jeopardy.  I'm just not sure what the ensuing discussion expectation is?

S. Chris Webb - I liked your answer, and gave you a thumb's up because you cut to the chase! 
I highly doubt Jhobanna is asking about her own listing - If I am wrong, she can correct me.
I'd also hope she'd be able to answer her own question if she truly were asking about her own listing.

Quite frankly, I think this question is one of those questions not really looking for an answer - but looking to ellicit responses.

Personally, I don't "get" asking a question the poster can already answer, (and this one will have all the typical, expected  responses) but, different strokes for different folks!

Have a great day!

Is it your listing? Is it priced too high? Is it ugly? Is it being marketed poorly? Is it in a poor location? Can you illuminate us with a little more info?
