BEST ANSWER
As always, Cindi has a good answer.
The most useful thing you can do is to ask your Realtor for a list of homes that have sold since your home hit the market. Homes are selling, the Realtors are not on vacation, they are simply selling homes that show their buyers more value.
The next thing is to ask your Realtor for a list of homes that are directly competing with your home. Go over the check them out, make a list of what features they have. Then go back to your home and objectively compare them. This should help you alot.
The easiest way to increase value is to lower the price. However, that is not the only thing. Talk with your Realtor about what you can do to increase value. If your Realtor has no ideas, then ask them to find some. If you like, have your Realtor contact me and i'll give them some ideas.
