I live on a lake and a state park so I am preparing for seasonal traffic. 

He says since it is a newer, unestablished subdivision we need to sell the first few houses as cheap as we can to get traffic into the subdivision and to show future buyers that it is a desirable area. 

You should deal with the traffic if you can make it.

What I did so far:-  Priced at 700k+ level, but reasonably with similar homes(bed/bath/garage/lot/age) sold/pending in <1.0 mile radius last three months-  Redfin  view traffic/favorites, Zillow view traffic levels are at or more than that of above sold homes-  Price reduced once and still no showing(below or in the middle of redfin/zillow robot estimates)-  Professionally staged and landscaped-  Listing agent is a friend, but at beginner level from a very small local broker.Without showing, I can not get any feedback on what might be wrong.  

Bascially I use Goole to drive traffic to a squeeze page where I give out a Free Report pertinent to the type of traffic I am generating.

Just do a Google search for "The Forced Traffic & Conversion Strategy"

A store in a major metropolitan area where there is heavy traffic and little developable land is likely to either get a lease renewal or find a new tenant.

But far less traffic from that site...

I only read the article above, so I might not be properly informed but this is what the article said: "1-- Create a new state misdemeanor crime of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document. 2-- Allow officers to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they're legally in the country. 3-- Ban so-called soft immigration policies at local police agencies and allow people to sue if they feel a government agency has adopted a policy that hinders the enforcement of illegal immigration laws. 4-- Prohibit people from blocking traffic when they seek or offer day-labor services on street corners."

Traffic count is fair to poor.3.
