Being on the market over a year would play into your offer price and may mean they're getting motivated to sell and will accept an aggressive offer, or it sat on the market for so long because they're unwilling to negotiate.

Not because they're so many tenants in Newark who are unwilling to pay their rent and instead tear up the properties when evicted.

I've only had my request for reassessment rejected one time in about 4 attempts and I've had up to 20% stripped off the assessed value.Finally, in your first post, you noted that - At this point we are unable to sell the house as it has depreciated from the value we bought it for I don't think you should say that you are "unable" to sell the house but rather "unwilling" to sell the house.

But they still have that doctor's appetite, doctors like nice things (like a really nice house in a good location), that's why they became a doctor, often they are unwilling to compromise on that.

To get what you don't have in life you have to do what others are unwilling to do.  

Therefore if your seller is unwilling to negotiate on your terms request, and/or unwilling to come down off his initial price.......then just move on to the next seller.

You are telling us that there is $21k in profit to be made here and you are unwilling to pay a $200 EMD!?!
