The knee-jerk reaction from sellers when a property doesn’t move off the market is to adjust the price. While it is true that dropping an asking price to a certain point will allow buyers to overlook peculiar smells, aesthetic flaws, or other problems, it is not the solution for every home that languishes on the market.
