Relisting a property (what to do)

Nnabuenyi Anigbogu

I have a condo in the Irving park area that i am trying to sell. It is a 2bd/1bth condo that i bought over 2 years ago and lived in till about 3 months ago. I bought it for 77K and currently have it listed for 139K.

My quandary is this. I listed the condo about 3 months ago and got plenty of traction. I believe i had about 6 offers altogether on the property  (from 130K to 140K). I opened escrow with a buyer at 135K and 2.5 months later the deal fell through. The buyers financing failed quality control apparently and also the buyer delayed quite a bit. The issue is that i put the property back on the market and have not had much if any traction. Maybe 2 showings that were not interested. I believe part of it is due to the time of the year and my condo is suited more to first time home buyers (about 80% of showings were to first time couples)

I am trying to decide if i should take it off the market and put it back up come spring or to heavily discount the price and sell it faster in the fall/winter. I really want that cash to use for my flipping activities. Since i bought it for 77K and put in 8K i am all in for 85K. Selling it at a big discount around 120K is still good profit.

What would you do?
