Bob, you really have to look at both. It's the market, then it's how to respond to whatever the market is.

Well Bob I would say it's neither, it's usually the homeowner who isn't being realistic when pricing their home. I'm sure there are many agents who over price homes but is it because the seller isn't reasonable? another great question.

Many things to look at and the market is less important than how we work within any type of market.

Anything sells if priced right. So, it is a combination of market, seller, and the product, too.

I would have to say it is both. The market has a huge impact and so does how we recommend the listed price to the sellers. If sellers are still listing their properties above the market, then we failed in communication.

You need to look at all of the factors, resolve to do better on the next listing and move on.
