I understand your frustration but have you looked to see on average how long it takes to sell a house in your neighborhood...the other possibility is that the price is too high...those are the first two things I would look at.

It's in a bad neighborhood.

And you go out and buy a old dump of a house but in a nice neighborhood.

I've driven past most of them and have decided against most because of the price--kind of have to laugh, most of the ones I've not even looked at inside because of price/size/location/exterior condition/neighborhood have been priced similarly to better houses in better neighborhoods that look a lot better.
