A Difficult SaleWe own a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house in a popular vacation area. It is in tiptop condition. Last August, we signed a 90-day listing with a superb realty agent. She warned us that the average sales time on the market was about 150 days. We only received one low-ball offer. The house has been off the market since our listing expired.
