Drop your price to 2002 level +5% and you will get some response, a realtor can`t afford to work with dreamers these days........

Grandson and wife just moved into their brand new home and had no problem qualifying. 

Now I on the other hand, lazy unemployed layabout that I am, probably would have a serious problem.

LT..a hint.  Call Sandra Corbin Realty if you want an honest reliable realtor.  She's an independent broker and will work for you.  I don't know how much you're asking or where your house is but do a little research yourself by checking sold prices in your area.  It won't do you any good to check listing prices as they are..."still listed" for a reason.

I'll sum your problem up for you:

You're over-priced.

Most of Bakersfield's real estate problems are the realtors.   In our attempts to sell our Bakersfield house over the last six months, we have encountered nothing--I repeat NOTHING--but paranoid, lazy, incompetent and downright useless agents;   five out of five agents we've tried to work with!  They don't keep promises.  They don't return phone calls.  They don't even make an attempt to do the job they're supposed to do.

The Bakerfield real estate image stinks.  The realtors sure do.
