The key to selling home quickly in this slow real estate market is to make your house look like the best catch for the buyer. The market is flooded with houses on sale but they are very few buyers for all of them. Therefore, it is all the more important that you price your house correctly so that you don’t miss out on any prospective buyer.
The key here is; don’t overprice. The first and the most important thing to remember when you are trying to sell your property in a slow market is not to overprice your house. Do a thorough research or consult a broker to understand the average asking price in your area. Consult a realtor and go through the previous MLS listings with him/her to understand the general market trend of pricing for your kind of house. Compare the average asking price of similar houses that were listed in your neighborhood over the last six months. You should remember to compare the square footage and the age of the house. Try to price your house in the same range. With more houses on the market and very few buyers, you would not want the buyers to simply overlook your house just because you weren’t smart enough to price it right. Remember that if you try to sell a 2000 dollar Honda Accord for 1 million dollars, you will never be able to sell it.

By comparing the original list price and the final sales price, you will get a fair ides of price reductions. Be prepared to be flexible as far as pricing is concerned. If you try to stick to your original asking price, you might lose out on potential buyers to other sellers who bring down their prices as per the market trends.
Remember that no matter how much you decorate the house or what steps and precautions you take to sell your house, it will not sell if it is overpriced. In fact, overpricing on purpose and then counting on settling for the "real" price is nothing but setting yourself up for failure. Therefore, if you really want to sell your house in a slow market you should set a realistic price for it and be flexible at all times as far as price reductions are concerned.
