House in Atlanta suburb won't sell, any suggestions?

[Melanie Siegel]

I'm helping my parents sell a home in the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville. From what I understand, the market is hot and the house is priced well. We've done new flooring and paint inside and the feedback has been very good. The problem is the backyard; there is a small goldfish pond and creek that is preventing people from putting in offers. We've never had any issues with it and neither have any tenants that have rented it in the last 15 years. The price has been dropped but no offers yet. We've had a lot of showings but no offers. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do aside from dropping the price further? I'm not very familiar with the market and I'm surprised that this is such a big issue; we definitely didn't expect to run into this problem.
