How long has it been listed? Because if you haven't sold it for a while, that should be telling you that's it's you that's out of synch with what your condo is actually worth.
I'm not saying you're one of the them, but when I was considering buying, I found some sellers who were clearly just fishing for suckers with their asking prices. And no, what similar condos are listed at doesn't really matter, nor does your assessed value, nor does what you paid for it. A good approximator of market price is the last selling price of a comparable unit (this is what stock markets report) ... but if you're listing yourself, how do you know what that is?

Please explain? I was under the impression that money now is worth more than money later, and if you're not going credit your saving the dealer the processing fees. They want you to finance? Most car companies I know use financing below market as an incentive, with an alternate incentive for cash.

Keep in mind that whilst credit card charges are a percentage, Interac fees are on a per transaction basis.
