I have a house that I’m needing to sell yesterday. Big nice plus a nice setting. One realtor which is a property manager went by the property and said the list price should be $295-299k. Another realtor and friend that I have worked with told be that I should do $349k.  He showed me comps a well. 

So I listed at $349k now Down to $335k 

No offers and 4 showings in two weeks. 

I want all I can get, but I’m worried that the first price option could of been closer to the truth and I don’t want a stale listing. 

Any thoughts?

You know the answer. If you need it sold yesterday, drop the price to where it will sell in a day. If you can be patient and want the high dollar, do all the staging and professional photography and decluttering and all that retail crap.

If you are not sure of the price where it will sell in a day, do more market research. I suspect the first agent was right. Impossible to know without the listing info, etc.
