Thank you all for your responses it's very helpful. We are in a rush but not such that we can't wait a little while. I think what makes it worse for us is that we had it up previously from May 2007 to March 2008 and we are just being extremely impatient of course this second time around. Realistically we would like to move before December 2008. In a dream world we would like to move by September! It's like you just want to see the end... just some glimmer of hope that it's finally done with.
I know it will sell. But I just have to be patient. I am grateful that I have terrific Realtors working for us and we educated ourselves this time around to price the house to sell instead of what we in our minds think people should want to pay for it. It all comes down to not making it personal and looking at things objectively. The market has changed so much so we had to change our mind set along with that.

I live in Broomall (all my life) and Newtown Square is a VERY nice area to live in. You're right off of the mainline area. I have to disagree with RT3 being a 4 lane "highway" because it's not a highway. A highway would be 476 or I95. RT3 is a road that can take you from the city all the way into West Chester. 2 lanes on each side.
There can be various reason for the pricing but I can tell you that $300,000 in our area is on the low side of average prices for homes.
