Sorry to hear about your dad and the added stress on your mom with selling their home during this difficult time.
I am not a realtor but I am guessing if it's priced right it will sell. In a downwards market it might be best to sell a bit under the average selling price of a comparable house. Your mom might miss out on a few thousand dollars but the peace of mind and ability to move on might be worth it.
I know friends that were too stubborn to list their house at the proper prices and weren't able to sell quickly. As they waited the housing market continued to drop and they are now out over $20,000 by worrying about a few thousand dollars. This is here in Calgary and Kelowna.
