They delisted it and relisted and it's coming on 290 DOM. The house next door listed at market value, sold in two days; so did two other houses in the neighbourhood in the last two months. There's 5 or 6 (out of 10ish) listings that have been on market for 100+ days, all massively overpriced. Guess they're not interested in selling.

The lesson: list competitively and your house will sell. Overprice, and you're wasting your, your realtor's, and any prospective buyers' time.
