I like what David Knox says, "sellers can SELL or they can STAY" it's their choice.

I know of some sellers (because I helped them NOT BUY two houses in my area) who (I am not their listing agent) have had their house on the market for a year and a half. I and the listing agent tried to expain pricing their house to sell, and they did lower the price twice. But, it still didn't sell. Just recently they informed me that they have raised the price of their house back up, because, "If it's not going to sell, anyway, it might as well NOT SELL for a higher price."

This story is true!
